Don't ask these sorts of questions or you'll be strung up and called an elitist fan! Surely a movie does NOT have to make sense in order to do well with the average movie audience.

Well there you go. You like the thought of Spock kneeling before you like a good subbie. Good a reason as any.

I'll have to pay attention to that scene when I watch it on DVD. I agree, Spock would have remained standing and dignified, unless physically forced to go to his knees.

Ahh yes it's a movie.

I think this was mentioned in the movie. Wasn't there interference from the drilling beam so the targeting scanner was not as accurate? I think there was even a line where they are afraid they might beam Spock into solid rock. Am I imagining these things? My memory doesn't always serve me well.

Oh hell, now you just gave me an image of a Vulcan Domme. Damn you! (not really, s'kinda hawt)

There as a TOS episode where they all knelt down before beaming.

I was referring to the scene where it is said Spock exits his ship and kneels in front of Nero. The kneeling beeming position doesn't bother me one bit

Hey! I even quoted YOUR post regarding "when Nero captured Spock"!!

"Kneel Spock, and pledge eternal loyalty...to Zod!"

Oh, I just had a mental image of Spock in the Superman costume.

Well it works though, doesn't it. Spock - Superman...they both begin with an "S"

Perhaps, if Spock gets exposed to kryptonite he'll develop SuperVulcan powers and be able to fly around Vulcan's original location really, really fast, locally reversing time until Vulcan and his mum is back. Then all he has to do is spin around again to get the local-time flowing in the correct direction. With no big mining ship in orbit, Vulcan can't be blown up.

Ha! Vulcan saved!

So the whole thing was really a plot by Lex Luthor to drive up real estate prices in the New Mexico desert?

The cave was collapsing. Probably not a good idea to stand in the mouth of it or anywhere too close to it while waiting for beam out.

Exactly!
