Never noticed details in the Kelvinverse films

I don't think the art department were given a stardate for Star Trek Beyond when they were doing their thing...

(the movie starts on SD 2263.02 and ends on 2263.04)
Data was corrupted.
 
Data was corrupted.

That was in "Descent".

I'm watching '09 again on a Delta flight, it's very distracting when Kirk calls Spock a 'pointy eared buzzard', and mentioning "bullcrap". Several other scenes have been modified too (less pulping of Kirk in the bar), and to top it all, Scotty just said "you bet your buttocks captain!"

However one thing I haven't noticed before, I'm sure I saw a metal support wire in the centre of the bridge on the Kelvin, ring any bells?

Yay daytime edits.

I noticed that. It's an old TV antenna on the helm/nav station. I thought it was a very cool, very retro but very unrealistic touch.
 
Thanks to Nightfever's awesome Enterprise-A CG, I've finally figured out what the mysterious "light bar" at the fore of the Enterprise-A is during the Beyond credits - it's an officer's lounge!

This is a weak line of thought, but I wonder whether it's supposed to be some sort of emergency transceiver in case standard lines of communication are severed.
 
Interesting that Greg Grunberg was the voice of young Kirk's angry stepdad and also played Commander Finnegan, named for (and presumably was the alternate reality version of) the cadet that was the bane of Kirk Prime's existence.

Grunbeg usually makes an appearance in Abrams' productions, I believe.
