Star Trek (film): Difference between revisions

As Kirk makes waves at Starfleet Academy, the ''Narada'' emerges again after years in hiding. [[The Federation]] scrambles its fleet to confront this menace, deploying the flagship ''[[Cool Starship|Enterprise]]'' for the first time. All the rest of the fleet is destroyed, with the ''Enterprise'' only surviving do to initial problems getting to the battlefield and when they manage to do so their captain, Christopher Pike, is taken hostage. Learning that the ''Narada'' is from the distant future and that they all had a major part in creating that future, it thus falls on [[The Kirk|Kirk]] and [[The Spock|Spock]] to overcome their initial mistrust of each other and the ship's cadet<ref>actually, it's three cadets (one of whom is a lieutenant, and another of whom is already a qualified doctor), an ensign, a lieutenant, a lieutenant commander who was [[Reassigned to Antarctica]], and a commander who was told [[You Are in Command Now]]</ref> crew ([[Star Trek: The Original Series/Characters|the young TOS characters]]) to somehow save the day.

 

{{tropelist}}

 

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Kirk and Spock. {{spoiler|Spock Prime goes to incredibly risky lengths in order to preserve the natural development of the galaxy's greatest bromance.}}

* [[Hitler Cam]]: {{spoiler|Used near the end of the film to compensate for the height difference between Spock and Spock.}}

* [[Homage]]: The lines and mannerisms of ''The Original Series'' cast.

* [[Hot Dad]]: Jim's father, George Kirk, applies.

** The IDW comics are running through various ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek the Original Series]]'' storylines. There are differences, because the characters are different, but Gary Mitchell still [[A God Am I|becomes a god]] when they cross the Galactic Barrier, and the "''Galileo'' Seven" still end up trapped on Taurus II while studying a quasar.

* [[Intelligible Unintelligible]]: The other characters have no trouble understanding a word Chekhov says, despite him having a [[Lzherusskie|"Russian" accent]] thicker than ''borscht''. This is inverted, however, when the computer has no idea what a "nuclear wessel" is. And when the computer can't understand his passcode, because of his mangling of "Vwictor Vwictor". (Incidentally, [[Anton Yelchin]] really is Russian-born. The accent is still very, very fake.)

* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Spock/Uhura (half human/Vulcan + human), Sarek/Amanda (Vulcan + human) and Gaila/Kirk (Orion + human).

* [[Ironic Echo]]: "I might throw up on you." and "[[You Are in Command Now|You're captain now, Mr. Kirk.]]"
