Star Trek – Ode to the Original Series

ray — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 23:24:53 +0000

Star Trek 11 from director JJ Abrams had many odes to the original series. Hopefully you saw most of them, if not now that Star Trek is out on DVD it is the perfect time time to go back and watch the movie and look for them. Here are some of my favorites. These are in no particular order.

1) Captain Pike being in a wheelchair. Ode to “The Menagerie”.

2) A tribble when we first meet Scotty. Ode to “The Trouble With Tribbles”.

3) The Red Shirt dies when Kirk & Sulu jump down to the mining rig of the Narada. Ode to many episodes.

4) The Kobayashi Maru. Technically an Ode to Star Trek II, not the Original Series.

5) Kirk “befriending” an Orion woman. Ode to many episodes.

6) Sulu being able to fence. Ode to “The Naked Time”.

7) Chekov’s accent. Ode to many episodes.

What are your favorite Ode’s to the Original Series?
