Worst fixation

Write in for the "shadowy towers on the horizon as Kirk rides by on his motorcycle" issue... which are clouds, btw.

I am bothered by the lack of sombreros in this film.

Same here, but it was left out of the poll. A "viral marketing" conspiracy, no doubt! So I voted for the Zeroes option. It is to me the funniest (and also the saddest) fixation I have seen on this board.

"Uhura's bra" is rapidly becoming my favorite.

Why do people have underwear in the 23rd C? Can't the just wear force-fields or something? It lifts and separates! (And also leads to certain other notions not suitable for a wholesome family BBS).

I also have to wonder how 12-year-old Jimmy Kirk can drive a Mustang almost off a cliff if he can't drive stick-shift!!!!

Next thing ya know, Abrams will decide Kirk was a big fan of Clark Gable films.

It's a Corvette.

And why aren't condoms just beamed on?

Even more of a canon-violation!

A poster in this thread kind of implied it might be built in Iowa: http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=73802
Also, the description of the bar scene at Empire kind of implies it, too.

Someone posting here is hardly a credible source. Also, I think Emipre may have made an assumption that the scene takes place in Iowa, especially since none of the other articles said that. They didn't quote JJ setting the clip up as being in Iowa. But with the transporter Earth is a small place (as demonstrated by O'Brien's decision-making in the series finale of DS9 and Sisko's academy habit of eating dinner at home in New Orleans). Maybe lots of people know this great bar in Iowa.

True, but it does say that Kirk rides his motorcycle to the shipyard where the Enterprise is being built.

 

[LutherSloan]

I personally don't care about any of those. I voted for 'The Enterprise being built on the ground' because I thought this was a poll about which was the stupidest gripe about the film.

I don't know how anyone can be fixated on the leading 0 for the Kelvin, but not the NX-01.

Bra. I wonder why some sort of button sized anti-gravity device (tm) isn't used instead. They can lift mega-tonnage ships to orbit but they still can't do women better than over the shoulder boulder holders?

Uhura's bra is ancient. Self-adhesive, strapless, seamless bras (such as this $68 Victoria's Secret bra pictured below) are the future, but they currently cost three times as much as the old-fashioned bra with straps.

Those things offer no support and only hold your breasts together, creating cleavage. Also, have you ever tried to peel adhesive off of your nipples? It hurts like hell!

So I hear.

Only women with gigantic boobs (size D and above) can't wear the futuristic self-adhesive strapless bra. Yeoman Tonia Barrows didn't wear a 20th Century bra with straps.

I've discovered new and strange kinds of idiocy I didn't want to believe actually existed in threads about all of these subjects.

 

[trevanian]

If I'm that concerned with it, then it isn't unimportant to me. Maybe you should rephrase the question.

Write in for the "shadowy towers on the horizon as Kirk rides by on his motorcycle" issue... which are clouds, btw.

They're clouds in the first, far shot of him riding, but in the closeup as the camera pans to follow him, the dark shapes beyond the clouds are definitely artificial.

 

[Good Will Riker]

I remember there being an uproar when Fred Freiberger took one look at TOS back in 1968 at a Desilu screening room and commented in regards to the show as being "Tits in space!"

I heartily disagree, despite the fact that the possibility exists I will be made a complete fool of in just a few hours.

Well, what, ah, "quality" of trailer did you see?

If I'm that concerned with it, then it isn't unimportant to me. Maybe you should rephrase the question.

Or perhaps you should reflect on why minutiae of the types listed in the question have taken on a level of importance all out of proportion with reality.

None of these points merits much worrying--but if I had to choose the one that merits the least, it would be the registry number. For something that inconsequential to send people into apoplectic shock is, frankly, absurd (and while it may not have done so for you, specifically, it has certainly done so to some around here).
