Moments for the Trekkies

[Barbados Slim]

How many fanboy moments were in the movie?

One I loved was at Spock's school. The screens and training voice from The Voyage Home.

 

[JiNX-01]

Pike in the wheelchair at the end.

 

[Newspaper Taxi]

The ultimate fate of Porthos.

 

[Harkonnen13]

Admiral Komack being present at the Academy. I can't remember which TOS episode he was mentioned in but he was mentioned. Delta Vega too, I was almost expecting the matte painting of the big structures of the lithium cracking station.

 

[Agent Richard07]

The mention of the Kolinar ritual.

The homage to the Vasquez Rocks.

 

[OdoWanKenobi]

The Kobayashi Maru test

"I don't believe in the no win scenario"

"If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbably, must be true"

McCoy saying he likes Spock

"I'm a doctor, not a physicist!"

"I am, and ever shall be your friend"

"I'm giving her all she's got!"

 

[DaveyNY]

The Mind Altering eel/bug thing...

All the different quotes from the past...


such as above ...

and "...the needs of the many..."

 

[nokiafuturephon]

Old Spock showing up in the cave. Totally unnecessary and only done for the fanbois.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I feel like writing Mr. Abrams a thank you letter for all these wonderful moments. Really it surprises me how many there were, especially as pandering to fans was not his main aim.

The ultimate fate of Porthos.

If that was Porthos, he is either the oldest dog ever or time travelled...

 

[Barbados Slim]

The ultimate fate of Porthos.

Hahaha yes! I couldn't even begin to explain that to my friend. Poor Porthos, the best thing about that show.

You should be thanking the writers rather than Abrams, I suspect...

Pike in the wheelchair (which was awesome, by the way. Can't believe they gave us that). Kirk's aversion to the no-win scenario. The Ceti Alpha eel used on Pike. Nimoy's v.o. at the end. So many. All so wonderful.

 

[T'Bonz]

"OMG! You've killed Vulcan! You bastards!" [/South Park]

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Concerning Porthos my father had been naming dogs for about 48 years, same breed and same name for each dog. Just replaces dead old dog with new identical dog. So I see this as a Porthos successor, possibly a direct descendant.

 

[Roger Wilco]

- Kirk fooling around with an Orion girl
- Sulu fencing

 

[LutherSloan]

There was a brief mention of Andorian rickets or something like that which I just remembered.

 

[martin]

Andorian Shingles

 

[Sky]

"Are you out of your Vulcan mind??!"

I'm pretty sure I saw a nameplate for Adm. Lenard in the trial scene after Kirk's Kobayashi Maru.

 

[Destructor]

"I'm giving her all she's got!"

That line got applause in my screening. I was waiting for Kirk to say: "Can you give me engine status without using a simile, Scotty?"

"She's lit up liuke a Christmas tree, Cap'n."

"No, Scotty!"
