Star Trek (Rebooted)
Episode Studies
     Like us on Facebook, where you'll see notifications every time a new study or review is posted on PopApostle!



I will be watching and reading the licensed tie-ins to the newly rebooted Star Trek universe currently in the capable hands of J.J. Abrams and will be presenting my studies relating to each, such as commentary on the science described, sound bits of memorable dialog, screen grabs and my own musings. I'll be presenting them in my estimation of the chronological order each story takes place.

 

Because there are other stories in comics and novels that take place in between segments of the Star Trek movie, I've chosen to break the movie down into three segments in the chronology, representing the time periods in which they occur: James Kirk's day of birth ("Rebirth"), Kirk's and Spock's childhoods and decisions to enter Starfleet Academy ("Parallels"), and the maiden voyage of the Enterprise ("The Vengeance of Nero").

 

Although there are no television "episodes" (at least not yet) in the rebooted Star Trek canon, I am continuing to use the term "episode" as I have elsewhere on PopApostle, as a separable piece in the continuous narrative of a larger story.

Powerless to stop the destruction of Romulus and too late in arriving to rescue his wife, Captain Nero sets his crew on a course of revenge. While General Worf's Klingon fleet attempts to stop the Narada from its course of revenge, Spock races to the Hobus star to destroy the supernova. In the 23rd Century, the U.S.S.
