My knowledge of the complex world of Star Trek is basic at best, but enough to not get lost. This movie appealed to me in every way possible and can't wait to see it again. As soon as Nimoy appeared, everyone in the theater gave him a round of applause out of respect. As you mentioned, his appearance alone was enough, but yet did not overshadow the newer cast members. I also thought Zachary Quinto did a remarkable job as Spock. While we did get a more-in depth and somewhat even proverbial glimpse of the characters in this film, Uhura still remains a mystery to me and always will. An interesting tidbit I just learned was that Jack Lord was considered for the role of Kirk, but turned down by Roddenberry. Excellent review and great blog.
