[QUOTE]Originally posted by Captain Untouchable: [QB] Just a thought. The script says that Kirk [i]saved[/i] eight hundred lives. That doesn't mean that there were eight hundred aboard: that's how many [i]got away[/i]. Now applying that logic to the fact that they escaped via shuttlecraft; running the numbers, you'd need to have about sixteen people in each of fifty shuttles in order to get those eight hundred survivors, and that doesn't take into account any of the shuttles that were destroyed - we saw at least one shuttle getting clipped by the Kelvin's phasers. To me, that sounds totally over-the-top. I didn't sit there counting in the cinema, but there can't have been that many shuttles flying away from the Kelvin at the end. I can only think of two reasons, really. It could just be a script error - and lets face it, we should be used to Star Trek getting its facts squiffy by now! - that was in there to provide an impressive number of survivors. Alternatively, it could not refer to the crew of the Kelvin at all - maybe because of the time that Kirk bought through his actions, Starfleet managed to evacuate a nearby base that Nero later went on to attack, or something?
