You are a wiser man than am I. If I do end up seeing it in the theaters, I’ll be sure to let you know (or Gawker, I suppose) whether or not your concerns came to pass.

I can see where you’re coming from. Nonetheless, I would argue that this scene constitutes a potential improvement from the previous films.

What if they’re not marketing it precisely because it’s too Star Trek-ish, and therefore something the fans would like (as opposed to, in their mind, general audiences)?

I’ll give them this: the visuals look far superior to anything the first two films ever had.

I know I’m coming to this discussion two days late, but it’s still worth pointing out: you weren’t “just commenting.” You were making unsubstantiated assumptions about Taziar’s intent and mocking his opinion. He (she) was entirely correct in calling your post an attack, because it was one. You were looking to start a…

Your entry into this thread involved belittling someone over a joke, and most of your replies on this topic have involved calling people “idiots,” “morons,” and so on and so forth, just for disagreeing with you. Yes, you are the intolerant one, and no-one with even a modicum of self-respect is going to take that kind…

It’s true, I don’t like some black people. I also don’t like some whites, hispanics, etc. I guess you’d call me an equal opportunity hater. You know what that’s like, you hate anyone who doesn’t agree with your views.

Hey, if you can burn the American flag as a political statement, why not the Rebel flag?

Noooo! Don’t drink the Kool-Aid!

Well, herein lies the problem: the term “limited government” is vague almost unto meaninglessness. I believe that most of us would agree that government should be limited: they shouldn’t have the right to take away our essential freedoms such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc., and should generally allow…

I remember both to equal degrees. Avatar was by far the superior film.

That we are!

Probably, though as FrankN.Stein said he gave “zero degrees,” it seemed to me he was referencing absolute zero on the Kelvin scale. One Kelvin equals one degree Celsius, and my joke targeted the fact that he was going for Kelvins but got degrees Celsius instead.

That’s not how it works. You don’t measure energy in degrees, you measure it in joules. You don’t measure distance in degrees, you measure it in meters. You measure temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius, because that’s how those scales work. But you measure temperature in Kelvins on the Kelvin scale,…

I see your point, but Mr./Ms. FrankN.Stein was clearly indicating that he (she) cared not at all for this issue—that his (her?) interest rested at absolute zero. That indicates that FrankN.Stein intended to use the Kelvin scale, but confused a Kelvin with a degree Celsius—which are equal units of temperature.

Well, if Earth didn’t take after itself, that would be very peculiar.

Which means you give 273.15 Kelvins, because the Kelvin scale doesn’t measure temperature in degrees.

I actually like the “Narada Timeline” better. But I’ll be damned if I stopped calling it the Abramsverse or NuTrek.

Call it the Kelvin timeline as much as you want, but it will always remain the Abramsverse. If you don’t want people to speak of your alternate future history Star Trek derisively, then please actually bother to make good Star Trek movies instead of just mindless action with Star Trek flavoring.
