Memory-alpha has a section on their Trek XI page about references or homages to other trek series or movies. its an interesting read.

No don't worry Shadow I wasn't refering to the Big E's size as I know it wasn't there doing.

I've always wanted to see Q and Guinan have major roles in a film. *wink wink*

Just about to read Memory Alpha's references list as no doubt as hard as I tried to pick them up I probably missed loads of them.

I was pleasantly surprised by this, now that I've seen it. the music was epic, the special effects were excellent. Somehow it was bit rushed and hyperactive, but it still was good..

the lens flare was massively overdone, just like the handycam-effect in cloverfield..

:? But, I would still watch next movie if it's placed in this new JJ-verse.

I hate bumping this old topic, but I think this deserves it.

That link leads to a page with two high-res exclusive images provided to Carolyn Porco by Paramount. The images are of the Enterprise as it rises from Titan's atmosphere with Saturn in the background. Now, I know some of you don't like the new Enterprise, but the amount of detail in this render is amazing, you can see the lighting panels in the ceilings of the corridors. The panelling on the ship is great as well. Modders, take note!

ps. I won't post links to the pictures themselves since the site asks people to not repost them.

I'm sure some of you would have preferred the film went this way.

lol nice

Wow...someone had way too much time on their hands.

I want to see a tv, comic, or novel series based on the Kelvin. I want to see how their lives would have played out.

Well, they went to check some weird crap out and were annihilated in what was it? 12 minutes? ;) Not much to tell!

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #1788 on:** November 27, 2009, 02:08:31 PM »

There's a lot before that though, and I was actually referring to the Kelvin in the Prime timeline. You know. If that vengeful Romulan hadn't shown up and wrecked the stuff.

Dalek · « **Reply #1789 on:** November 27, 2009, 02:27:18 PM »

Well, for the Kelvin (prime-line), it could go 3 ways:

1. It leads quite a famous life, discovering a number of new species and participates in a number of key conflicts.

OR

2. It leads the boring life of a survey ship exploring empty looking systems at the edge of space. Because of its rather battered-looking hull and perhaps slightly obsolete technology, it barely does anything interesting.

OR

3. It's a mixture of both. A few interesting things here and there, the odd firefight, but nothing major to go down into the big mac history books for.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #1790 on:** November 28, 2009, 12:28:15 PM »

Well, we know one thing that would have happened. It would have made it to Earth and Kirk would have been born there. lol

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #1791 on:** November 29, 2009, 02:00:05 PM »

on that note - is there much about the actual movie left to discuss?

Dalek · « **Reply #1792 on:** November 29, 2009, 02:12:34 PM »

I'm just curious as to where the black hole created by the Narada's destruction is. And what about the black hole at Vulcan? Will that suck everything in?

Biggins · « **Reply #1793 on:** November 29, 2009, 02:17:43 PM »

The Blackhole at Vulcan and the one that engulfed the Narada are supposed to have sealed themselves up. I can understand the Narada's but Vulcan? :wtf

FarShot · « **Reply #1794 on:** November 29, 2009, 02:35:39 PM »

I looked up if black holes can expire.
The answer:
Yes...
...but it'll take longer than the universe will.

Black holes, even though they suck everything up, also emit radiation. :wtf So, theoretically, a black hole if not fueled will just evaporate over time. A long time.

Dalek · « **Reply #1795 on:** November 29, 2009, 03:12:10 PM »

Both black holes got enough radiation to satisfy themselves. God knows what power source the Borg use and a planet usually goes down well.

Edit: Also, the Narada Black Hole got a nice dose of antimatter.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #1796 on:** November 29, 2009, 04:21:40 PM »

Well, the Jellyfish, Narada, and Enterprise warped away from Earth to get to where they were. Considering that Spock knows better than to endanger the entire Sol system, I think it's logical to assume that he led them outsystem.

Also, consider this. The "black holes" created by the red matter are artificial in nature. There is also on-screen evidence that aforementioned singularities aren't permanently fixed. Example: When the Narada arrives in 2233, the singularity is visible behind the ship. However, when the battle begins in earnest, the singularity is apparently gone, something that is confirmed by the wide shot after the Kelvin's suicide run and the shuttles are escaping the Narada. The singularity is nowhere to be seen in that shot.

However, the singularity that swallowed Vulcan may indeed be permanently fixed. Why? When the Enterprise flies away from the collapsing planet, in Vulcan's place is a dark void through which no stars are visible. Now, this may have just been a goof on the part of ILM, but I don't think so.

Also, I would like to point out to the people who say that "red matter" is the dumbest name for that particular substance. Ever heard of "dark matter"? Same basic principle, except this stuff is visible, and it has a color, so the Vulcans, very logically, named it precisely what it is.

Biggins · « **Reply #1797 on:** November 29, 2009, 04:33:36 PM »

I was just thinking that myself, the Vulcans wouldn't have made the technology to create black holes unless they had a way to stop it. My guess is that they calculated how much time a singularity would need to engulf the supernova it was developed for and somehow gave the red matter created singularity a self life. Flame this all you want by the way, I', taking pot shots at this.

That seems logical to me.

I just found this little nugget of gold on (surprisingly enough) Wikipedia: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3b/Star_Trek_%28film%29_bridge_panorama_.jpg
