Why I didn't even bother to mention it in my review.First of all Spock did far more to save everybody than Kirk did. The old/future Spock conspired to take Spock out of the Command Chair, and Pike seemed to be pushing things behind the scenes from the get go too.I wouldn't doubt other forces are at work in the background, stuff we haven't seen yet.This is Abrams we're talking 'bout.The apparent and the intentional are different things from the apparatus and the indeterminate.I was shocked when Vulcan ate it. While watching the film I kept looking for the Deus Ex Machina.But this ain't your grandpappa's Star Trek.This is something other than what it just appears to be.With Abrams people don't just make destiny, they become destiny.That was apparent by watching all of the characters.If Kirk took the chair too young then it wasn't by happenstance.There's a ghost in that machine. A wolfcub in the bitch litter.You just can't hear it howling yet cause of all the background noise.And it'll hunt when it's time to hunt.Til then it'll look just like any old coondog.By the by, I'll bet ya dollars to doughnuts this Kirk ain't the Kirk of the original series. He'll share power. A lot of the time.And he won't be near as confident.What he will be will be an instrument of other things.</blockquote>
