Official Movie Site Dossier's...

[Admiral_Young]

Those look very cool. I also happen to really like the retro look this movie seems to have from everything from the Enterprise to the buildings on Earth. The dossier profiles themselves are interesting...the Academy extracirucular stuff seems interesting. I wonder if the profile picture of Kirk is from his Kobyashi Maru exam? The jacket looks like something a Cadet might wear and that room seems like a simulator to me for some reason. I was a little annoyed that Uhura still doesn't seem to be getting a first name yet but it doesn't bother me that much.

that sounds interesting!

So according to this, Uhura still doesn't have an "official" first name?

Anyone else find it a little odd that while Kirk and Pike's place of origin are fairly specific (not down to a city, but at least narrowed down to a general geographic area), Uhura is just from "Africa"?

Africa is a giant damn continent. It's not even as specific as a nation, let alone a state or specific spot within that nation (as Kirk and Pike are privy to). If you're gonna be that vague about it, just leave it out like with some of the other characters (McCoy doesn't list his place of origin, though he does go to school in Mississippi. Maybe Uhura went to Africa College, too?). As it is, it's just... weird.

Yes, Africa is a continent. It is also a continent in turmoil. Many nations have changed governments and names just since TOS. They will probably change many more times prior to the 23rd century. Perhaps it is good to just leave it at "Africa".

No, it´s not a continent -- it´s a country. Both Bush and Palin have said so.

And that's enough with 21st-century U.S. politics, thank you. There are forums where those may be discussed freely, but they do not figure in this movie.
