Now you are just deliberately lying. Kirk's dad never interacted (as far as we know) with Garth or with Mitchell's father. Kirk was the junior son and his brother was shown briefly in the 2009 movie.

Ha we finally worked it out of you! All your arguements, as incorrect as they are, are fueled form your dislike of abramsverse.

But you can take solace in knowing that this timeline exsist congruently with the timeline which we have already witnessed.

You, and I, or anyone else does not have to like it. But he's bringing the dough to paramount so he gets to make whatever story he wants to in the Star Trek universe.

No he was not (some people claim he is the boy in the other car he is not credited)

and yes kirks father was a "legend" in starfleet

but hey the NEXT film kills everyone else probably

I Could write a better Trek film than this
indeed so could almost anyone

Wasn't Kirks brother in the film? He drives bast him in the car in the beginning.

uncredited so we don't know

if kirk had a living brother he would not be a suicidal jerk would he

Shatner was in his early 30's and Pine his late 20's. It's pretty obvious now that you are a troll.

And its clear that you don't go to conventions

Kirk was mid-late thirties when chekov was introduced
Chekov (according to SHATNER) was added so that Kirk could be a "father figure" to an Ensign

Do not call people trolls its impolite and makes you look needy

and if you think 37 is "early thirties " you have a poor grasp of maths

And J.J. Trek is set years before that. This is a new Chekov and he's ten years younger than Kirk.

J.J.-verse Kirk is 25 at the end of the film and, I think, a pretty realistic depiction of what a modern 25 year old is like, particularly one who had a hard life.

And this Chekov is four years older than classic Chekov, whereas Kirk is a couple of months older than classic Kirk.

The film is set contemporary with when Prime Kirk would have been a Lt. on the Farragut.

Guys... this script was co-written by - y'know - the Prometheus guy... Lindelof is a hack of the highest order - don't look for any meaning in anything the guys writes because it's all complete b***ocks and really - he doesn't give a s**t about the Trek fans.

Deep breaths either it'll be fun or it'll suck - but it'll never make any kind of sense.
