Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vigilance" data-source="post: 4549806" data-attributes="member: 4275">What about Spock shouting all the time in the Cage, set (like this movie) before TOS? Should every line of dialogue Spock has be shouted in this movie, like he's serving on a WWII submarine? What about McCoy's southern accent?If we hold this movie to every line of dialogue uttered by or about the TOS characters, they're going to need to hand out cliff notes as you walk in (and again- we're basically talking about 1 scene of 1 episode where Kirk doesn't seem familiar with cars).I wasn't going to argue that. Again, the minutiae required for me to argue "well clearly it's a reproduction and all cars in the 23rd century would be manual transmission" is exactly the sort of madness I am specifically lobbying all trek fans to avoid.Remmber, I am only calling on us to be as mellow as Batman fans.And as for the assumption that neither Abrams, nor Orci, nor Kurtzman has seen a Piece of the Action, I find it hard to believe none of the 3 had seen that episode.According to comments they have made, Abrams is a casual trek fan, one of the writing duo was not a fan at all, and one was a HUGE fan with encyclopedic knowledge of the franchise. More likely, they are not going to bind themselves to everything ever written about those characters, in the interest of making a good movie. Right, I understand what you're saying. I know the canon, I even love it. DS9 was my favorite Trek series precisely because of this.But this was going to happen (a re-envisioning/re-whatever of the TOS) eventually. I'm just glad they're doing it now. Remmeber when they were saying we'd go 10 years before another Trek movie? I'm glad that didn't happen, and just hoping for a good movie.</blockquote>
