Star Trek *spoilers*

You have been warned!


James Tiberius Kirk...man, you gotta learn how to pick better fights, what is it, Napoleon complex? Fight with stepdad, fight in bar, fight with Romulans, fight on deck, saved by Pike, by Sulu, by...well, you lose the fights but win the war.

And that green chick? Totally hot!

Spock I for the win!

Re: Reboot

It was obvious the attackers were from the future, but that didn't have to mean discarding the whole timeline—my first assumption was that it was going to turn out to be a misunderstanding.

The whole "nobody's seen a Romulan" bit wasn't really a problem at first, because nobody on the Kepler knew who the attackers were, or got a good luck at them (the comscreen was pretty distorted)—except for the captain, who never got a chance to report what he saw.

Once Spock and Pike start referring to the attackers as Romulans, though, it becomes clear that "Balance of Terror" is being ignored; nobody asks Spock, "How do you know they're Romulans?". It makes sense, after all; it's clear in the last season of Enterprise that the Vulcans have not forgotten their civil war.
