Video of J.J. Abrams + ST panel at WonderCon

All I learned from that love fest is that "J.J." is a foul mouthed punk.

He swore? I completely missed that - what did he say ?
I wont repeat them here. I have always found that a persons use of the language gives insite to that persons intelect. Or lack there of.

I could say that the numerous grammatical and spelling errors in your post provide me with some insight into your intellect, but fortunately I'm not quite silly enough to make such associations. :)
 
Remember...

This is an altered timeline where the others are already on the ship by the time Kirk gets command of her.

This new timeline doesn't have to conform to the original. It's new.

I mean, I'd have loved it a lot more if they'd kept the promise to "just tell a story that fits into the existing timeline", but now that we know that wasn't true and that the timeline's being changed, then whatever we get from now on is "canon".

Weren't the deaths of Enterprise D's crew an established fact (canon) until Kirk and Picard went back in time and wrecked Soran's plan?
I think the other six regulars could have been on the ship before Kirk even in the TOS timeline, including a very young Chekov (possibly in a temporary posting as a Cadet Trainee) and McCoy. Putting the other 6 on the ship first doesn't violate canon; it only violates "fanon".

There is nothing in TOS that could contradict that, so I think Abrams can say "adheres to canon" and actually mean it without resorting to alternate timelines for an explanation.

I'm still not convinced that alternate timelines will play a huge role in why people's histories are "seemingly" different in this film, because I don't think people's histories will in fact be that different (well, they may be different than "fanon" but they may not be contradictory to canon).

i agree with this.
in fact it has all been speculated before.

bones easily could have been the ship surgeon but on temporary assignment at the time of where no man.

and we know that riley had earlier been posted down below before getting his posting to the bridge.

so chekov easily could have followed the same path.

What insight about your intellect (or lack thereof) do we gain from your horrible spelling?

edit: fuck, beaten

Well played. :lol:
 
THIS VIDEO RAPED MY CHILDHOOD!!?!?!



Ok, not really, yeah good stuff. I am sold on Pine as Kirk as well, he looked like a young snotty Kirk, giving the middle finger too, kinda seems like Kirk would when he was young.

No one asked Zoe a direct question :(

There is that.

Certainly Abrams has more interesting to say on the subject of this movie - and Trek in general - than BigC has, so which of them has the more refined vocabulary is beside the point.
 
All right, enough about BigC's spelling and vocabulary, and if J.J. did anything more "foul-mouthed" than saying that he took an Ambien while on the plane to the con "so if I say some stupid shit, it's the drugs talking," I didn't catch it in any of the clips.
