Feeling the sting of fan criticisms about various minutiae in the Star Trek reboot movie, J.J. Abrams recently spoke with Wired to explain a couple of things and promise that more explanations are provided on the DvD.
One area of fan concern was how Kirk ended up on the exact same moon as Spock Prime after he was ejected from the Enterprise. According to Abrams, the writers decided that the Universe insisted the meeting had to take place.
What's interesting about that argument (which is almost certain to confuse and disappoint fans who think they know better than the writers) is that real scientists suggest the future may be sabotaging CERN's efforts to find the so-called "God particle".
The Universe has been accused of many things, so conspiring with itself to arrange for Kirk and Spock to meet in any reality doesn't seem so far-fetched.
It's something to think about, anyway.
