Inspired by gregorum’s post concerning issues with startrek.website, which is ironic as lemmy.world is a bit glitchy right now and isn’t letting me upload and had to use my alt here.

    Loath as I am to defend Into Darkness, this is arbitrary skepticism and Voyager is by far a worse offender.

    It’s not explicitly said but the circumstances are much tighter: I’m pretty sure McCoy stuffs Kirk’s corpse into a cryo tube almost immediately after he dies and the gang also needs to capture, not kill a raging genetically enhanced warlord to have a shot at it. The two subsequent references to the Kelvin timeline after this offers no circumstance under which this technology could reasonably be used but wasn’t. If they somehow did manage to repurpose Khan’s magic panacea blood there’s no indication it would be more than an immediate revival drug–like something we see used in Lower Decks as a joke.

      Hmm, you’re probably right. I guess I’m just less inclined to give JJ movies the benefit of the doubt because of everything else wrong with them.
