Kirk.
Starfleet Captain.
Starfleet's finest.
....

Goofing on the guys he's about to kill...?

Not sorry for for believing he HAS to do it?

Has this alternate reality created a Kirk I can't look up to any more? Just another angry angsty texting post-teen that revels in his justifiable excesses?

Or did Nero REALLY ASK for it?

It bothered me a lot too, but I put it off to the signs of the times we're in, and the generation that has matured with the "revenge is our right" motif since 9/11. They're not looking any further for wisdom than their own adrenal glands. It made good box office receipts now, but will be hopefully replaced by something more worthy of Roddenberry in the future when some of our insanity ends.

This would be the same kirk that spent most of his time having fist fights in some sand?

He's a post 9/11 Kirk.

Nero's crimes:

Killed the Captain of The Kelvin.

Fired on and destroyed The Kelvin, killing dozens before they escaped.

Attacked and destroyed 47 Klingon ships, likely killing thousands.

Destroyed 6 Federation starships and their crews of thousands.

Destroyed Vulcan, killing 6 billion people.

Attempted destruction of the Earth.

Tortured Captain Pike.

Nero was a madman, killing billions of people for no reason. Kirk offered rescue to Nero when the red matter was creating a black hole that was consuming the his ship. Nero refused. Kirk then had no choice but to finish the job, to save his own ship and crew, and to avoid allowing the possible escape by Nero that would have led to additional attacks on the Federation.

These are questions that might bother me if they pertained to real Star Trek but since that flashy, shaky mess wasn't Trek and that angry, teenaged, afternoon special actor wasn't Kirk, I'm not worried about it at all.

I took that for a genuine offer of rescue - albeit one that Kirk assumed would be rejected.

Sorry, but I'm not gonna fault Kirk for acting at least somewhat out of emotions. As Jongsie pointed out, it wasn't as if Nero weren't practically begging for it. Spock might be able to control his emotions, if the green-blooded goblin even HAS any, but Kirk is a human, and suffers from human emotions. In this instance, I'd say he was well within his rights.

Kinda like asking if it would be okay to take just a little grim pleasure in pulling the trigger on Hitler if you had him in your sights. I don't care who ya are, that would probably feel pretty damned good, and pretty damned justified.

Bah, we're all human, all flawed, Kirk as much as any of us...

He was serious in his offer of rescue, but it was only out of a sense of obligation to be the better person, and he was quite, quite satisfied in seeing Nero hoisted on his own petard, you bet.

He scored better than I woulda, on a moral scale, cause I would NOT have offered a rescue, instead reminding him of the human proverb that a person seeking revenge should dig two graves first.

So you are not able to envisage any situation where your take might not be the case?

If you family had been brutally raped, murdered and dismembered by a perverted psychopath whilst he had forced you to watch, might you not take PLEASURE from killing this monster?

I dunno, Chris - I mean, overkill can be pretty messy, both morally and physically (especially on nice boots!) but if there's one thing too many protaganists fall victim to in movies, it's Not Making Sure - I didn't see it as having any explicit nasty motive, as much as Kirk making absolutely SURE that guy was gone.

Given what happened in the other continuity with Khan, I'd hafta say I see his reasoning there.

Yes it bugged me a lot. I was shocked and angered by the callous and salacious manner in which Kirk acted. Where was the due process for Nero? Was he given his Miranda Rights? Did he have an attorney present? How can an order for execution be given before a trial and conviction? Where was the FCLU? Just because the guy "allegedly" murdered billions of people doesn't mean he's not entitled to a spirited defense.

Not really understanding the point of this thread.

Kirk kill a bad guy....big deal. Enjoying killing a bad buy....big deal.
Your turning a fun breezy Trek movie into a morality play. Just watch, and enjoy. The parts you don't like, just shrug them off.

You may have something with the texting generation similarity though. If it feels good do it. Where generation Xr's had a small bit of moral compass, the next generation will be beyond all that.
Anything will be fair game. We should just thank our lucky stars we won't live to see it.

RIPWASH


Happy New Year to all!

Been spending WAY too much time on FaceBook, hence my absence.

Anyway . . .

What everyone fails to take into account here is that these characters are NOT the same ones we were used to. Same names, same surroundings, but different. Nero's initial attack changed EVERYTHING. The most important thing, being that Kirk's father was killed by a homicidal maniac leaving Jim to be raised by another man who didn't have the same ideals as his father did. Thus changing the way Kirk was raised entirely. He didn't have any lofty goals, he didn't aspire to do much more than to be a belligerent ass who picked fights in bars. His father wasn't there to point him on the path of idealistic morality. It just didn't happen. So the Kirk we see in this movie is not really the same one we were used to.

Now let's take a look at Spock. His whole temperament was changed with the death of HIS mother and the admission of his father that the reason for the marriage was not logic, but love. In my estimation, this prompted Spock to embrace his human emotions more freely than Spock Prime did. Thus, HIS character was changed fundamentally by the same homicidal maniac.

I agree with Frem, that with all the mess Nero caused coming through ONE black hole, they needed to make absolutely certain that he wasn't able to survive the black hole consuming his ship, no matter how slim the odds of that may have been. He didn't want to be rescued? Fine. They gave him one last chance and he refused outright. So . . . bye-bye.

The first time had a distinguishable event horizon & semi-directional gravimetric compression consistent with temporal anomalies; the one destroying his ship was like the one that destroyed Vulcan- simply an omni-directional negative field (black hole).

Sounds like gibberishisall.
The first one consumes a supernova sun plus Romulus, and leaves Nero's boat unharmed. I did not see any supernova suns reappearing where Nero or Spock popped out, nor for that matter Romulus. Why would not any of the structures of Romulus survive, or any of the spacecraft parked on Romulus, if the singularity were so different, as you claim?

So then you're saying the nova also reappeared in our time to consume more worlds, right? When did this happen, I don't recall any mention of this in the film.

Right, and that is where you're contention that it consumed the mere supernova but dislodged nary a moletcule on Nero's sooper dooper craft flounders. Maybe you missed the staff meeting.
