nods to previous treks *spoilers*

But then again, isn't the whole point of the movie to be a nod to TOS?
Check out the photo here. Note the stencil on the duffel bag.
I noticed that the Kelvin-era communicators were the original TOS communicators.
Ha, that's great!
Ha! So does this mean Kirk had a rendevous with the Enterprise-D?!?
More likely it was from 'storage locker D', heh.
So there are more? Do tell!It was one I could think of, off the top of my head.
I think I picked up on another ENT reference. When McCoy is giving drugs to Kirk to make him appear sick, I could have sworn he said "Phlox" while explaining what he was doing...as if something was named after him.
So Kirk eating the apple is a nod to him eating the apple in Star Trek II while talking about the test? Very interesting.
I also liked when Kirk said at his hearing, "I don't believe in the no-win scenario"...verbatim from Star Trek II.
Now at the end of the movie when the two Spocks were talking, nuSpock says, "you lied?" and in my head I immediately thought, "I exaggerated." I thought that was a missed nod there.
There were a couple more lines directly lifted from prior Trek, but I can't remember them.
But yes...I love it that ENT is the only Trek show in both realities.
Oh, Ayelbourne...hate to be an ass, but if you refer to the novel again, can you use spoiler tags? I can't get it until Tuesday and that bit about Porthos at the end kind of got...well...spoiled.
Thanks.

I've got no idea. I probably won't get to see the movie until Saturday, but that one turned up months ago -- in a TrekMovie article, I think, spotted by one of their readers.So there are more? Do tell!It was one I could think of, off the top of my head.
There were many things that were "nods" that I wish they'd left out. Like the Enterprise sputtering to a halt instead of jumping to warp, a la the Excelsior. Sulu would not be that stupid. Or the bugs that make you tell the truth, just like the worms from TWOK. Making it the mouth they enter instead of the ear doesn't make it any less of a rip.
Yea, and they were good looking too.
I need to know if this is so!! I am watching it again hopefully on Sat night so I will try and listen for this. We need THE SCRIPT!!!
(I am even more excited about seeing this for the second time!! Hence all the !!!!!)
As to the Ceti/Centauri bug/eels.. well ya know there are snakes everywhere, and they all have different names. Maybe it is just a very similar bug.
...or maybe during Nero's time exploring the Enterprise-E's computer banks (in the Prequel comic), he came across a reference to the Ceti Alpha Eel and went looking for something similar once he went back in time....?....
..afterall he had twentyfive years to kill...
