Default Re: OT: (barely) New Star Trek Movie on its way

Daily Variety said the action would center on the early days of "Star Trek" characters James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock, including their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and first outer-space mission.


So, how long will it take for the really picky Trek fans to start complaining that the story idea is flawed since Spock was a member of the Enterprise crew before Kirk took over command from Captain Pike, so presumably their respective first outer-space missions would have been separate?

Oh wait, I guess I just did.

I suppose it would be possible to write a back story that wouldn't conflict with the established canon where they meet at the academy and then go their separate ways before meeting back up on the Enterprise. You'd have to ignore the Trek books to do it, but nobody pays attention to those anyway.
