None. And I wish that's what he was doing.But he's not. This movie is connected to prior canon.[sblock]Leonard Nimoy-Spock comes back in time to warn Zachary Quinto-Spock of some sort of danger that's come back from the future to do nasty things to Federation history.So that leaves open the question of "How much can/should change, and how much can/should remain the same?"Me? I'd rather they have foregone this entirely, and just called the damn thing a complete reboot. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/worried.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":-S" title="Uhm    :-S" data-shortname=":-S" /> Especially since I'm so damn sick of time travel in the series; they should be calling it "Time Trek" at this point.[/sblock]Now, as I said before, this isn't really a big deal for me. The continuity issues will nag at a small portion of my brain, and the rest of my brain will tell that portion to shut up and watch the movie. And when it's over and done, I'll judge the movie on its own merits, not on whether Kirk should've been able to drive a stick shift.But the whole thing could've been avoided, and I think it would've made for a better premise if it had.</blockquote>
