Re: The new Timeline
When Nero's ship gets to the black hole Spock comes out of he says something along the lines of "now we'll do what we've been doing for the last 25 years. We'll wait."
There's also dates given in the film, by the way. The stardates are in the formal of the year followed by two digits. The Kelvin's captain says it is 223304. Spock's ship says it is from 2387. Spock says he came back 129 years. Do the math!

Actually, it DOES look pretty huge there.Bryan Moore wrote:How can it be that big? Look at it in the ship yards. 3000 feet?!
But I have no other references, I have no idea what the oEnterprise would have looked like under constrution.
Right, there's that. I was just wondering if they had two of those sequences, but I guess not.GrahamKennedy wrote:When Nero's ship gets to the black hole Spock comes out of he says something along the lines of "now we'll do what we've been doing for the last 25 years. We'll wait."

He was described as a Russian wizz-kid, a kinda of likable version of Weasly Crusher.Rochey wrote:Chekov being 17 is actualy quite interesting. He seems to have actualy graduated the Academy, despite being so young. If we take Pike's four years comment, then that means that Chekov enrolled at the age of 13!

Re: The new Timeline
True. But it's more the idea of Starfleet admitting someone of only 13 years of age, regardless of how smart he is.

SF probably has a Soldier Apprentice Analogue, where you join at a young age and get a trade in exchange for x amount of years service.Rochey wrote:True. But it's more the idea of Starfleet admitting someone of only 13 years of age, regardless of how smart he is.

Yeah, but Oxford isn't a part time military.

That's old thinking. NEWStarfleet has never been seen to fight a war.

Re: The new Timeline
Perhaps he did the equivilant of ROTC in High School (Reserve Officer Training Corp.. to be more accurate, in High School it would be JROTC for Junior Officer etc. etc.) and since he is apparently a prodigy of some type, they just fast tracked him?Rochey wrote:True.

They look like Phyllis Diller,
