That BIG canon violation (spoilers)

NCC-1967

Lieutenant
Red Shirt
The EW report states that the movie's first act (the attack on the Kelvin) ends with a scene that'll make the purists go mad.
I suspect it will be:


























Kirk is born in SPACE and not in Iowa as we all believed!

Please, before you set your phasers to kill, bear with me:

The more recent news reporting the scenes showed by JJ Abrams clearly state that:
-Kirk is born in the same day his father gets killed
-Kirk's mother served on the Kelvin as well
-It's Kirk Sr's heroic doings that save his wife, son and a lot of other people too. Probably by having everybody evacuate and ramming the Kelvin into the Narada, as the trailer shows.

So my theory is that, although young Kirk wasn't expected to be born so soon (otherwise his mother wouldn't be in active duty anymore!), the shock of watching her husband die (maybe she sees the Kelvin exploding as the shuttle she's in escapes the carnage) makes Winona have a premature birth!
And so the big canon violation happens...

Am I right or should I stop with the heavy drinking?:lol:
 
You may be right, but I wouldn't call changing the birthplace of Kirk a big canon violation. As long as he's raised in Iowa it's OK. (And even that should only be important to the people of Riverside.)

Omg, canon violation! Grab your torch and pitchfork!

Well the opening scene in the new trailer is filmed in Iwoa.

Personally I think he is a child on the Kelvin, but hey, why not wait and see?
 
Heck I dont care what ole JJ changes, as long as I'm having a blast watching the movie. also, please do continue drinking, it's what I would do ;)
 
Kirk born in space, the Enterprise born in Iowa.

Next: Spock born on Earth??
 
The premise of 40 people hyper-actively bitching about how Kirk doesn't jump around the room everytime he says a new word just sounds more of a task.
 
Has it been established on screen that Kirk was born in Iowa? He's from Iowa. But that could just mean that's where he was raised.
I know some town in Iowa claim they are the future birth place of Kirk. But I don't remember him or anyone specifically saying he was born there on the show.
 
Oooh dude, you're asking for it. Hardcore fans are coming to your house to kill ya'll.
