Everyone had a role to play, they each did something that was important to the plot, and had their moment of awesome. It’s not always easy to pull that off with an ensemble cast.
This. Everyone had a moment to shine. I was very glad that Uhura got something to do, she was usually wasted on the original series. And that Chekov and Sulu also had their moments. Bones, Kirk, Spock and Scotty usually always had moments to shine.
Was it just me, or did it seem like he spent half his screen time clinging to a ledge or getting smacked in the face?
lol, I totally noticed this too! I was wondering if it was supposed to be a metaphor for Kirk's life, or if it was just kind of lazy story telling, but yeah, like every five seconds dude was dangling off of something about being hit in the face.
Karl "Caesar" Urban is always pretty lolzy to me, and I really liked him in this. His & Kirk's friendship was cool. They are my slash couple of choice ...
mte. I loved Kirk/Bones, and they are totally my slash pairing too. Like you I think Kirk/Spock are better as yin/yang BFFs. Part of that comes from the fact that I love Spock/Uhura, but I also didn't see much UST with Spock/Kirk, but it was there out the butt with Kirk/Bones.
but that I didn't get (some catchphrases, the rock man, the fencing line, etc)
I don't think the rock man had anything to do with the original series, or the fencing line either. People like me were geeking out over seeing NCC-1701 written on the hull, and everything time Bones said "Dammit Jim!", and the Vulcan Sleep grip and stuff like that. But they've set everything up so you can geek out over these things too in the next movie :D
