Then I definitely suggest watching Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. That will explain some references in the new movie that you missed.

Hey, I was tutoring one of my math students earlier this week, a 9th grader. We had both seen Star Trek last weekend, and I mentioned how cool it was that they had Leonard Nimoy in the movie. Her response was, "who's Leonard Nimoy?" :bugeye: :eek:

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, according to Robot Chicken:

Last fall, I polled a class of about 100 first-year (university) physics students (non-physics majors), and over half the students had never seen an episode of the original Star Trek series.
