On this very special edition of The Nexus, the gang closes out 2020 with a lengthy discussion about the better-than-they-remembered 2009 J.J. Abrams Star Trek. Were the lens flares really that bad? Are we still cool with the Beasties on the soundtrack? And how rad was that Sulu swordplay? PLUS: Bones just throwing around "hobgoblin" in this movie?

Star Trek stars Leonard Nimoy, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Eric Bana, Bruce Greenwood, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Ben Cross, Winona Ryder, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Morrison, and Clifton Collins Jr.; directed by J. J. Abrams.

The Nexus is a We Hate Movies podcast where the guys futilely go through two Star Trek series at thesame time. Thank you so much for continuing to support this weird thing known as WHM! We couldn't do it without you!

And yes, it's the same destruction of Romulus in Picard and this movie. The ship Spock flies was actually designed by Georgi LaForge.

Scottie beamed Admiral Archer's beagle. Archer was Scott Bacula's character in the Enterprise TV show.

The movie’s commentary is pretty great and points out a few things. 1) It was the green alien girl who altered the test for Kirk to beat it. You can see her looking sour in the background of that court scene. 2) they had a monologue for Spock prime explaining how the universe was repairing itself from the time shift. Hence why everyone was coming together seemingly by random coincidence, but they cut it because it was long and who cares. 3) They also make fun of the lense-flair. Great episode! Can’t wait for you guys to cover the others.

Been meaning to write about Discovery, but you mentioned it in this episode and figured it was the time. Really, check it out. The first season was good, but the third season was like they heard Eric's complaints in an earlier WHM episode about them just covering the same ground (i.e. placing it in the same general time as TOS) and instead jumped to 3188 where there is no longer a Federation and anarchy reigns.

Voyage Home is still my favorite movie. I hope one day you do it. Also do the other to new ones all pretty good.

I'm glad you have some love for The Motion Picture. I always feel my fandom for that movie is against the tide.

the problem i have with it.. is the 3hours it feels like for the ship to traverse that little corridor.. with no music.. just to show off the technology they have..
