Never noticed details in the Kelvinverse films

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

According to MA, the PX70 was a MACO motorcycle. http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/PX70_motorcycle If George Kirk had one, either he bought it (surplus maybe) or it was in the family. Kirk has MACO ancestors, perhaps?

What are some other things you may not have realized or noticed about these 3 movies?

 

[F. King Daniel]

Didn't pick up on it until I got the Art of the Movie book for the 2009 film, but the bridge perimeter stations all have QWERTY keyboards on them.

Didn't pick up on it until I saw HD screencaps, but Admiral Marcus' evil plan is pretty much summed up in a textbox in the corner of a screen at the start of Into Darkness, when Tom Harewood sends his email to Marcus before blowing himself and the Section 31 base up.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Why would there be such a thing as a "MACO motorcycle"? It doesn't have a particular military application. I mean, it sure wasn't stealth or anything.

 

[The Wormhole]

Kirk has MACO ancestors, perhaps?

Coincidently, I think he does according to the novels.

Um, recon.

Wait, seriously?

 

[F. King Daniel]

Wait, seriously?

The stuff about using the long range torpedoes, not the stuff about Khan and his people:

 

[Tuskin38]

also there appears to be a Calendar above it that goes from '08 to '10 lol.

Something I'm sure a lot of people noticed back when ST09 came out, the spot where the window is on the bridge of the Enterprise does exist on the Refit-Connie (and the Miranda) except obviously it isn't a window, it is a light or something.

I honestly didn't notice that until this year.

These make one wonder...

If the bike has both MACO and USS Franklin symbology, this rather spells out that the Franklin used to be a MACO ship (and had a USS prefix) back in the pre-Federation days. Or then Edison just liked to paint cool shit on the side of his bike. Frankly, the latter sounds likelier - anything saying MACO is to Edison like the Southern Cross, a symbol of his preferred way for things in a world gone all wrong.

Do the torps really cloak themselves a bit after launch, or is that just bullshit to make Kirk (or whoever ends up being Marcus' patsy) think he can get away with firing the obviously perfectly visible torps when in fact he's slated to die? A truly stealthy torp wouldn't lead the Klingons to the sabotaged starship. Perhaps Marcus here is in the process of personally falsifying a report that will further his plan?

(and had a USS prefix)

supposedly this is what's on the bike (and Pegg and Lin's t-shirts), no "USS"

 

[Timo]

Ah, so it's from the uniform of the late Private Frank Lin who once saved Lieutenant Edison's life!

(Where is that patch from, really?)

Well there is always that Starfleet Surplus store down off Route 59 you can always pick stuff up at...............

I don't have a problem with this. Earth militaries used cycles in the past.

Or then Edison just liked to paint cool **** on the side of his bike. Frankly, the latter sounds likelier - anything saying MACO is to Edison like the Southern Cross, a symbol of his preferred way for things in a world gone all wrong.

Was it established that the bike belonged to him specifically? If not, it could have belonged to any now-dead member of his crew.

That's where I get all my best stuff.

They got away team jackets on clearance right now---cmon down!

Since it's been that way since typewriters, I guess they figure, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

[ISS Enterprise]

Guys, don't sweat the details
Orchi n writting team sure skirted them when it moved the story/plot LOL

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Carol Marcus' fingernails are painted the same color as her sciences uniform.

 

[F. King Daniel]

(Where is that patch from, really?)

The patch is from t-shirts Simon Pegg and Justin Lin wore while promoting Beyond, and is supposedly (I've read it online but never seen a picture showing it) stencilled on the Franklin's bike. You can buy something similar in the official Star Trek store. I have this similar shirt from Cafepress and it's awesome.

The Military uses all sorts of vehicles, some are just used to get from place to place and aren't weapons platforms. I used to ride to school in blue buses with USAF painted on the side, driven by a motor pool sergeant.
