Spoilers Star Trek Beyond references

Dax and Worf's wedding photo is a promo image too.

This is where I started to tear up.
Same here. The Enterprise era stuff and other references were awesome, but I was not expecting such a nod to the original cast. When Spock opened the box of Ambassador Spock's belongings I was expecting a shot or holovid of old Spock from the Kelvin timeline, and honestly that would have been a good tribute and reminder. I was hoping at most for that proposed and discarded happy birthday recording of Shatner from the 2009 movie. It just blew me away that there was a pic of the entire TOS movie era main cast. It was perfect.
More TOS references in the movie:

Came from Thasus ("Charlie X").
was Finnegan, from "Shore Leave", according to the credits.

Yep. AndyPandy and Danlav05 nailed the photo.

I don't think so - surely more a reference to Search for Spock?
I know most of this thread is about continuity an easter eggs, but I just have to ask. Did anyone wonder, after the Franklin breached the canal in Yorktown and then bellyflopped, why all the surrounding pavement was bone dry? I was waiting for a huge splash, and ... nothing. What a wasted opportunity for a great effect.
I loved it whenever kirk and krall got into a fight they did that classic DUH DUH DUH fight music from episode Amok Time.
Or possibly when McCoy held Spock's katra in the Search for Spock?
I posted elsewhere in my initial review that I got a real TMP/V'ger/Goldsmith vibe from the nebula sequence. Glad to see someone else did. One of things I really liked about film.
Also VOY episode: The Swarm

Oh man, TMP is, together with TUC, my fave TOS movie. To hear that very similair theme..... Goosebumps!
I think it more along the lines of
Tuvix
Also, did anyone already mention
Kirk telling Spock and McCoy that he'd torn his shirt again
I noticed that but was immediately struck that the sounds in the nebula were very similar to if not the same as the the storm-like sounds when they approached V'ger on foot.
On the "Easter egg" front, what this movie got right and STID got wrong is that these touches were largely in the periphery and background. They were like seasoning. whereas in my opinion STID "went big" and felt too-clever-by-half in trying to put some of them front and center and relying on memes and "best of" scenes at the expense of its own emotional core.
True, in Beyond, bits like the birthday toast may have seemed on-the-nose to some, but for me these instances were more tasteful and were integrated smoothly into character moments that were already pretty well developed in their own right.m so it added to the poignancy instead of overriding it.

I'm obviously a rank newbie. I realised the error in this post of mine, but can't find how to delete it. Help?
'Tis now deleted.
