Revision as of 16:12, 22 February 2015
- Actor Allusion: Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock, pins down Kirk by the neck, eerily Sylar-like.
- Ascended Fanon: Uhura's Fanon first name, "Nyota", is confirmed. Nichelle Nichols, who played the role during the original series run, was actually the first person to suggest the name "Nyota" for Uhura. This was known by fans before it ever appeared in novels.
- The lack of a first name for Uhura is a Mythology Gag for much of the movie, until Spock calls her "Nyota", Kirk notes "Ah, so that's her name..." and Spock archly replies "I have no comment on the subject."
- Dawson Casting: Most of the cast is semi-plausibly close to the ages of recent Starfleet Academy graduates. However, John Cho is a 37-year-old playing the 21-year-old Sulu. Karl Urban is also 37, though he's closer to his character's official age of 30. And Zoe Saldana (Uhura) is 31.
- Deleted Scene: Quite a few, including one that makes a big Plot Hole by its deletion.
- Lying Creator: Paramount's pitch was that it was bringing in new writers specifically for new ideas. Then the first trailer showed us...Captain Kirk. While people ultimately still liked the movie, retuning to the original characters and timeline wasn't what anyone was thinking when they heard "new".
- Playing Against Type: The case could be made for several members of the cast, but the biggest examples are probably Karl Urban as the cantankerous McCoy instead of a badass warrior, John Cho as a grade-A asskicker instead of his frequent comedic fare, and Eric Bana (and not Zachary Quinto) as the Big Bad.
- Production Posse: J.J. Abrams brought in usual collaborators such as producer Damon Lindelof, composer Michael Giacchino, editor Mary Jo Markey, actors Bruce Greenwood and Greg Grunberg, and most of the crew of Mission: Impossible III.
