Line 667:
** Given the situation, maybe he just didn't feel comfortable calling him Captain or by his last name.
* A minor one: near the end of the movie, when they transport Spock to Enterprise, why is he standing? He was sitting in the chair. He should have emerged from the transport in the sitting position and fall on his ass. If the transporter can "correct" one's position, why didn't it work for Kirk and Sulu?
** Because Spock emerging from the transport and falling on his ass at a dramatic moment would have only served to satisfy nitpickers, get a cheap laugh at the expense of a character's dignity, and disrupt the flow and tone of the scene, all of which are bad writing.
* Why is warp travel suddenly this strange white-misty realm thing, whereas the shows pretty consistently showed it as simply moving through space with star-streaks (or debris-streaks, whatever)? Being in alternate timeline shouldn't change the laws of warp physics, should it?
** [[Literary Agent Hypothesis|Evidently the shows' representation was inaccurate.]]
