Is Old!Spock saying that New!Spock must make his own way in life and not get any tips or suggestions a Time Travel Trope of some sort?
I'm not sure how to fix this, but there is no colon in the film's title. The fact that the page title displays one makes me legitimately angry. Someone fix this please.
Did anyone else think that some of Harrison's Facial expressions dip in to the Uncanny Valley?
I'm not sure the presence of the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes is evidence there isn't a One World Order, or even that it's subverted. I could be wrong, but I think that in the Present Day there are still Confederate flags in the Deep South and I've certainly seen a Northumbrian flag Oop North. This doesn't indicate these countries still exist, just that people remember their history. Does One World Order necessarily mean "All cultural diversity must be erased"?
On the page, the Klingon home world is called Qo'nos, which is the correct Klingon spelling, but in the film it is spelled Kronos is the subtitles. Should we keep the Klingon spelling, or change this?
According to Memory Alpha
, both spellings are correct. Qo'nos is the actual name of the Klingon homeworld, but Kronos is the "anglicized" spelling of it. The spelling Kronos has also been used to refer to it in the scripts of several episodes. It's probably the same as someone calling Beijing "Peking", though why the enlightened Federation uses the wrong name for an inhabited world is anyone's guess.

I removed a remark about "Uhura flawlessly speaking Klingon" because, if I am correct, she used the wrong prefixes. She kept using jI-, which IIRC* only encodes for the first-person subject with no object, when she should've used a prefix that also encoded an object. If I am incorrect, feel free to put it back in.
"Our first instinct is to seek revenge."
Is there a particular reason this should be the quote at the top of the page instead of on the Quotes page? It doesn't seem to illustrate much about the film, certainly less than the Harrison trailer monologue.

Am I the only one who's scene the movie?! Why the crap does the article keep calling him John Harrison?! Trailers always lie. That name is a simple alias for Kahn it is thrown away in the first act. Why don't we call him Kahn for goodness sake?
ON another site, in response to someone observing the apparent Christopher Nolan influence here, I said the Following.
Yeah, it looks their going for with this villain is Bane IN SPACE!.
But, If they want me to view this guy as The Joker IN SPACE! their failing miserably, The Joker is the embodiment of Chaotic Evil, he's not easy to duplicate, Kefka and Dimentio are like The Joker, this guy is not.
