Star Trek (film)/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

 

* How did Nero know when Future-Spock would appear out of the wormhole? I mean, how did he know to wait the 25 years and show up at the wormhole at the exact moment that Future-Spock would reappear?

** There was a mention of "calculations" when they went to the spot just before Future-Spock appeared. When they first came through, Nero was confused that Spock hadn't shown up at the same time and place. Apparently they spent a lot of time crunching the numbers on it.

 

** Adjusted Continuity Re-boot just doesn't have the same ring.

** It ''was'' a prequel for about 2 seconds, before George Kirk's ship gets attacked.

 

* There's some major Phlebotinum Contradictions in the new film surrounding how transporters interact with shields. The hard line in standard canon is that you cannot beam to or from a ship that has its shields up; but the ''Enterprise'' engages transporters during several combat situations (once above Vulcan, and again in the final battle when Scotty retrieves Kirk, Spock and Pike). The only possible answers are that 1) the shields were not up on the ''Enterprise'' or the ''Narada''; 2) there ''are'' no shields (doubtful, since the ''Narada'' at least should have brought theirs from the "mainline" canon), or 3) you ''can'' beam through shields. Which works, since this is a reboot. But [[J.J. Abrams]], could you at least mention that on screen?
