My favourite fact about Star Trek TOS is that, because automatic doors weren’t invented yet, the ‘automatic doors’ in TOS were really just some guy yanking a rope and pulley system to make them slide open. Problem was the person was far enough away that they couldn’t see when exactly the doors needed to be open, and relied on a signal from somebody just off set. The actors, however, had to act as if they were 100% confident the doors were going to open at the exact time and moment despite the fact that they occasionally did not which lead to multiple occasions in which the actors walked directly into the doors while they were opening.

i enjoyed that the only person who was naked onscreen in the entirety that was star trek beyond was Captain James T. Kirk,, which is p much how the original series worked too

-large aliens actually being smol
-Kirk ripped his shirt
-So many Anton Yelchin scenes
-Seriously thank all 3 of the writers for the more equal screen time for the crew members this time around
-Bones actually gets to do more than speak witty one-liners
-Jaylah
-Everything about Jaylah was great. She’s not sexualized, she’s not there to be a romantic subplot, she’s smart and actually has a key roll in the film. Without her and her technology skills Yorktown would have been destroyed
-Jaylah’s traps
-Montgomery Scotty
-James T
-When Jaylah and Scotty go to investigate the set off trap and Scotty just had a rock to defend himself.
-Kirk asked for his crewmember’s help by name. She got no screentime and we as an audience don’t know her, but that crew is FAMILY and Kirk knows, trusts, and cares about everyone
-Uhura separating the ship
-The crew knowing beyond the shadow of a doubt that Kirk was coming to rescue them
-Sulu’s family
-Chekov saying “inwented in Russia”
-Jaylah sitting in the captain’s chair
-Spock being delirious
-Spock volunteering Bones for a mission he knows Bones won’t like
-Kirk’s reaction to Spock volunteering Bones
-BONES’ reaction to Spock volunteering Bones
-All of the crew genuinely cares for each other and it shows
-No unnecessary Uhura/Spock drama
-Simon Pegg basically confirming that none of the crew is straight
-The USS Enterprise in warp
-beautiful cinematography all around
-NO LENSE FLARES
-Awesome new uniforms
-CLASSICAL MUSIC
-For once we actually get to explore strange new worlds instead of protecting earth- again
