I thought that, too. However, his not wanting to pollute the timeline anymore could come into play here...

Despite this knowledge, Nimoy hangs out in a cave for awhile Since there was no way that Nimoy could know Kirk wascoming, why the heck was he hanging out in some cold cave if he already knew where to find Scotty? Nope - he only knew that a Federation base was there - he was surprised that Scotty was there

All weekend, I've been getting the sense that as long as they stay within striking distance, that this team is going to make a serious run in the second half of July/August once everyone gets healthy...

According to a couple of twins sites I hit, they're fraternal twins...

Thanks for bumping this - I missed this the first time around. You can add me to the manager for life bandwagon, too...

Why was Kirk eating an apple during that scene significant? The Kobayashi Maru is a key plot element in The Wrath of Kahn. The start of the movie has Saavick, Kristie Alley, taking the test, and failing. We learn during the film that Kirk is the only person to ever beat the test, with a unique final solution. When Kirk, Saavick and McCoy beam on board the station where Carol Marcus and David Marcus have a Genesis prototype garden, filled with fresh on the vine fruit, Saavick finally has the conversation with Kirk about how Kirk ultimately beat the test. As Kirk is biting into an apple he explains that he did in fact cheat because he "hates to lose." Jeez, Steve - you could at least get the quote right... He didn't say he cheated because he hates to lose... He got a commendation for original thinking, because, he "doesn't believe in the no-win scenario". This was actually a funny bit, because they said he had never faced death before... Two words - Edith Keeler.

After I saw this the first time, I compared it to eating chocolate - it tastes sweet going down, but afterwards, you realize it was nothing but empty calories... Is Star trek a great movie? Hardly. J.J. Abrams really needs to lighten up on the hand held cam - it takes away from the beautiful sets, and detracts from the depth of more than one scene. He also needs to lighten up on the lens flare - they were entirely too distracting.... That being said, as a movie that had to span a large setting, this was an excellent kick off to what is hopefully a long run of movies. I thought Scotty and Checkov were a touch over the top, but the rest of the cast was pitch-perfect. While this was a reboot, with some MAJOR changes in the Trek universe, Abrams handled Trek with the touch of someone who got it; that we as Trek fans are a different breed, that we care deeply for these characters, and that not just anyone could handle this. There were some great touches that let us know he was truly paying attention: The tribble in the background of one scene; Kirk munching on an apple while retaking the Kobyashi Maru test; "Are you out of your Vulcan mind?"; 'I'm a doctor, not a physicist"; the list goes on and on... the fact is, Abrams got it, and this franchise is in very capable hands.

I have to see this movie again.. It had some nice touches - nods to trek of the past, and some great little inside jokes (I particularly loved Kirk eating an apple while retaking the Kobyashi Maru test). However, when the movie was over, I was like, "That's it?" I don;t know if I liked some of the ways they totally destroyed cannon, and I felt the movie was a little rushed, and more time could have been spent fleshing out some of the characters, particularly Nero. Overall, 3 1/2 photon torpedoes

Several of those already noted were short-timers. What isn't rankable are Metstaches that are part of full-on beards. Buddy, is a solid two, but Fido gets a six: Most short-timers have the ranking disadvantage of the Metstache look as being so jarringly removed from the face we're used to, that it's hard for the player to get buy-in from the rankers.
