One can only imagine what the timeline divergence did to Finnegan that caused him to stop being a jackass (and lose his accent).
Never noticed details in the Kelvinverse films

Sure! Here's the school bus in Into Darkness:
Thanks, Dan.

Perhaps he got slapped down by a superior officer on his first posting (that is, he was invited to an interview by the captain, found out that the captain knew about his shenanigans at the Academy, and made it clear that if he did that, he'd be dealt with in a harsh manner.)

One would hope that even Finnegan in TOS matured after the Academy, given that Kirk was remembering basically a college bully.One can only imagine what the timeline divergence did to Finnegan that caused him to stop being a jackass (and lose his accent).
Hmh? When Khan crosses a street like that, we see up close how the markings work. It's two lanes per direction, right hand traffic, and those transverse lines across a lane don't mark where you should stop before taking a turn, they just sort of cross the lanes at random.
The notched ghost island in the middle of the top-down shot is for right-hand traffic lining up for a left turn, now isn't it?

Most likely. People like Finnegan usually need to be taken down a peg.
A college bully he could do nothing to stop, because Finnegan was an upperclassman and Kirk was an underclassman (in the DC comics version of Kirk's first year at the Academy, Finnegan warns him that if he even throws a punch at him, he'll be automatically kicked out.)
Yeah, so I've heard. My point was that in both of his appearances, he played characters that Kirk didn't like in the alternate reality (Stepdad) or the prime reality (Finnegan, who doesn't interact with Kirk in Beyond. He does make an appearance in The Assassination Game, though, and is every bit the (gullible) bully (which was written before Beyond and Into Darkness.)
So, Finnegan would already be more advanced in his career. Hopefully he grew up.
^Well, one thing that Kirk did in said comic book to get back at Finnegan (which unfortunately wasn't canon) was to interrupt him during his Kobayashi Maru test by using the transporter to remove his uniform and underwear, leaving him butt naked in the captain's chair (although that didn't mean that he actually got to beat the tar out of Finnegan in reality while at the Academy.)
Or quite possibly, he and Kirk never met (the novel Finnegan being another of the family), as Kirk's Academy entrance was delayed by Kirk's delinquency, pre-Pike's recruitment speech.
Old stuff I posted in 2014 (I think), but might be of interest in this thread if anyone missed it then. The "powerwall" graphic from Starfleet HQ in Star Trek Into Darkness, packed with a ridiculous number of Star Trek references:
Click to enlarge. A lot.

Is there a way to see individual sections of it a little at a time, or a list of everything included? When it blows up, it blurs.
That's as good as the quality gets, Im afraid. It's composited and perspective-corrected from a BTS video.
Yup. when I was assigned to 1st Sqdn, 9th Cavalry (US Army) back in the late 80's there was a scout platoon that had motorcycles as part of their assigned equipment for recon work.
Both Star Trek 09 and Beyond feature mining equipment re-purposed for dastardly ends...
This can't be right. It can't. But I can't unsee it. From Star Trek Into Darkness:

Nice catch. What's that under the Facebook logo?
No idea, I can't make it out.
Whatever it is, they must have added it in post. There's a lot in this picture not to be found at the filming location.This can't be right. It can't. But I can't unsee it. From Star Trek Into Darkness:
