I remember when I didn't catch the line at first while watching ITD in cinema, then I watched it second time and I laughed my ass off when heard abour magic transporter device that get's you from Earth to Qo'nos
Damn, in Nemesis trasporting without pad was almost impossible so Geordi had to come up with magic pocket transporter, but since JJ set both characters and tech to overload, now you don't need ship to travel across galaxy, not even transporter pad to travel ridiculous distances... do you remember days when Trek transporters required huge emiters, enormous pattern buffers, it was hard to get a lock on target and everything could disrupt them ?
Transporter technology has always been rather fluid. Even in TNG, there were times where someone was beamed from a planet either directly to the bridge or sickbay, so it doesn't bother me one bit. Though they could have explained it by one plot element through Admiral Marcus. Khan could've used a network of Section 31 transporter relays. That would've been better, IMO.
Khan's so-called "magic blood" isn't magic. Even in "Space Seed" McCoy commented on Khan's recuperative abilities. The only reason Kirk was able to be revived was because he was barely dead. Personally, I found Kirk's sacrifice well done. Unlike Spock, he didn't have an "out". He had no katra to pass on. You could see it in his eyes before he slugged Scotty. He knew he was going to die. Granted, I wish they'd have used some makeup on Pine like they did with Nimoy.
Now, I haven't heard anything about Orci being removed from the ST3 staff altogether, but I am more than a little wary of the new director. Simon Pegg writing gives me hope, but all these rumors about Paramount wanting it to have some elements of Guardians of the Galaxy worries me. Studio and executive meddling can totally ruin this movie.
