Simon Pegg Says that Spock Prime Validates the Original Timeline

By GustavoLeao / 06:30, 20 November 2009 / Star Trek: Nemesis

According to Airlock Alpha, Star Trek actor Simon Pegg (Scotty) had some thoughts to share about the new movie storyline recently on Twitter. Here are few excerpts of the article.

"I love that Scotty shows up late," Pegg said on Twitter. "The film is about fate. About time healing itself. He's furthest away, and yet he is found."

"Some have questioned the coincidences, but they are the point. Destiny is stronger than time and circumstance. The crew are supposed to unite."

"What blew me away about Alex and Rob's script is that New Trek cannot exist [without] the old," Pegg said. "Nothing is discounted. Spock Prime validates all. So smart."

There was a line that got cut when Spock Prime said "the timeline may be trying to repair itself", but even with out it, the thing I love the most about the movie is how all of the pieces of the Enterprise are being put back together.

Kirk always wins the impossible scenario (*cough*Generations aside*cough). That's what he does here. His life and destiny was destroyed by Nero, but now, without even realizing it, he manages to save the day. That gives the movie dramatic heft for lifelong Trekkies.

"Destiny is stronger than time and circumstance"

Don't tell that to Number One or Gary Mitchell.

"There's a theory that time is like a river, with eddies and currents. Those same currents could lead us to McCoy."

I agree with Pegg that the coincidences are the point and shouldn't bother people. Besides, is it less of a coincidence that Luke lands on Dagobah with R2 in precisely the spot where Yoda is residing? In the case of Star Wars it's the force; in Star Trek it's time.

There once was a man named Scorned,

whose posts were more offensive than porn.

He posted one too many,

got kicked out on his fanny,

and all the while he had been warned.
