Captain Kirk can drive? Star Trek continuity and the new Star Trek film
Posted by David Torres Categories: Editorials, Movies, Television,
I was just watching the new Star Trek trailer again. As you know, the trailer opens with a young James Kirk driving a car, but if you watch the classic Star Trek episode “A Piece of the Action” Kirk does not know how to drive a car.
In the episode, Captain Kirk and the crew arrive on a planet that has been exposed to Earth culture by a book about Chicago gangsters of the 1920s. The entire planet looks like Earth during that time period - complete with cars. Kirk and Spock get in a car and Kirk does not do a good job of driving. But in the new trailer, he’s a master. Are the writers of the new film aware of this discrepancy? Do they care? Am I being a fanboy? I’m just wondering how much more Star Trek continuity will be altered in this new film?
