If the film does not address and explain the canonical inconsistency of James Kirk using Samsonite luggage in the episode "This Side Of Paradise," the filmmakers will have blown the last opportunity to right a tragic mistake.
The Alternative to Time Travel in Star Trek XI
- Thread starter Samuel T. Cogley
- Start date
"A tragic mistake?"
That luggage was part of Gene Roddenberry's vision. The entire series was recieved directly from the highest authority, Gene Roddenberry's Mind.
It is tantamont to sacrilege to even suggest that the luggage was anything other than the product of the Great Bird's divine wisdom.

Oh yeah - I'll bet you can explain that big-ass wrench that Finney smacked Kirk with, too!
While that sounds like a great idea (please send any audition tapes to my e-mail address), many of you are missing my point.
Anything that involves more than one frame (that is different from the one before it) involves time travel, even if it is only time travel in the consistent forward direction that almost every movie utilizes.
I'm guessing that people who are against time travel are just as upset by jumping around in time as they are in moving forward in time at the normal speed.
The ONLY way to prevent this is to have a static shot in which nothing moves and nothing happens.
Help us, Obi-Wan Kenabrams. You're our only hope.
So that's Kirk's other hobby... remember, he's into antiques...
Citizen Kane, torture, or time-travel. Pick two. You can't have all three.

Let's torture Citizen Kane. Serves him right, the rich bastard.
Don't forget time travel. I suggest this movie be about Citizen Kane being tortured when he's sent into the future to meet Mr. Arkadin. Quinto is Kane, and Nimoy is Arkadin. We can call it Star Trek: The Definitive Movie. It'll be a hit.
Ok. One static image. A black screen with a Star Trek logo with no sound.
A single static frame of film, preferably of Jamie Bamber in a towel.
Yeah...yeah...I know. He's not in Star Trek.
Work it in.
