Off the top of my head in no particular order:

1)Spock maroons a crew member on a random ice planet full of dinosaur beasts - can anyone say 'murder'

2)on same random planet in random location, kirk accidentally walks right into old Spock in a cave

3)bad guy leaves old spock in said cave to witness the destruction of Vulcan???? Give me a break. Where is the fun in forcing someone to witness something if you aren't there to witness their pain!? bullshit plot device.

4)speaking of plot devices - how come red matter can create a huge black hole when it explodes in a ship, but in order to hurt a planet it needs an elaborate and slow drill to bore a hole to the core of the planet? Why not just set it in the atmosphere and blow it up, why not just set it nearby and blow it up - in any case the black hole would just about instantly destroy everything nearby.

5)Scotty going through the "futurama' water tubes - give me a break. Good thing that "safety button: was there to dump out the water in a man-sized escape hole.

6)Why is the flagship of the federation, fresh out of the construction bay, manned almost ENTIRELY by new grads right out of the academy?

7)How come being near a black hole = instant death for a planet or a ship (sometimes) OR convenient time travel unscathed for multiple ships at other times?

8)why do we need space sky divers to jump onto a drilling rig in San Francisco - don't we have ANY kind of planetary defenses? even ground to air missiles would have taken it out in seconds.

9)So.... the Vulcan high counsel just sits around in a cave staring at an obelisk all day, all in one room? With no guards or other folks hanging around at all? How convenient.

10)We can transport two people falling at terminal velocity, and we can transport onto a ship moving at warp speed, but we can't transport a woman who is slowly beginning to fall a little bit on the edge of a cliff?


But really - I did love it.
