thats what i am getting at.....they go into a different timeline and instead of doing something new and original.....they do Khan.....if they were going to do this Abrams should have created a whole new crew and ship....
alternate history means kahn doesn't exist?
Welcome to my nightmare
In the original history the Enterprise stumbled across the Botany Bay and discovered that is was full of genetically modified soldiers from the eugenics wars from the 1990s that escaped Earth after they lost. In the movie a deranged Star Fleet admiral went looking for the Botany Bay to use the genetically modified soldiers that escaped the eugenic wars in the 1990s to destroy the Klingon empire.
Where, exactly, did the modified timeline start? How did Marcus know about the Botany Bay when, in the original timeline, there was no record of it? Why did McCoy have a tribble, which was introduced to the Federation by Harry Mudd after they made peace with the Klingons, on the Enterprise when no sane person would let them loose on a starship?
You really do not want to try to argue that what Abrams did makes any type of sense. Trekkies have been dealing with YATIs since the beginning of time, we accept them as part of the nature of things. here are massive discrepancies between the two movies that don't hold up. For example, in the first movie they ejected the warp core and were still able to maneuver the ship using thrusters and impulse engines because those are completely seperate systems. In the knew movie the warp core injector was out of whack and it shut down every propulsion system they had.
By the way, wouldn't an injector that shoots tiny particles of antimatter need to be aligned a little better than a guy who flunked out of the academy be able to do?
How come there are no engineering personnel available to replace Scotty when he quit? Is the bridge crew the entire complement of the ship, and Scotty is just there to say how hard it is to fix things?
