Comment on Seasonal Games Rules, New Year’s Eve, Star Trek by Natasha

Your friend’s criitque boils down to a complaint about violating canon. For him, it cannot really be Star Trek because it does not share the history heretofore created.I would also have preferred an origin story that filled the gaps in the existing canon. I think stories about the earlier adventures of the original crew would be interesting: Kirk on Tarsus, Spock’s early Star Fleet career, etc. This presents a problem, however: telling it all in one film would not be that interesting, and taking more than one film to tell it delays the collection of the original characters into one crew.Staying with the existing canon also makes the producers’ task much more difficult by forcing them to fit whatever stories they want to tell within accepted timelines. They would have to invent explanations for how the newest story fits into original five-year mission. They would have to explain how the Organian Peace Treaty or the Guardian of Forever effects the current story. It also completely removes cast flexibility: they couldn’t kill of Sulu if the actor wants to go on to other projects, since the canon has him taking over as captain of his own ship.In other words, knowing the future of the characters would make story telling more difficult.My own complaint about the film come from my military background: the story is completely unrealistic. There is simply no way a more senior officer would not have been on the Enterprise to take over after Spock recuses. No Captain would entrust his ship with a cadet, no matter how brilliant, who had snuck himself aboard and not even completed his course of training. Military organizations simply don’t work that way.I would also have liked to see this done somewhat differently. But the filmmakers did a good casting job, the special effects are good (I think the bridge of a starship would be a brightly lit space), and the feel approximated that of the original series. For those of us who wanted to see these characters brought back, Abrams’ solution is better than nothing.

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
