You felt that the “chance” meeting between the new Kirk and the old Spock was more like a run through the infinite improbability drive<\/a> than a sensible plot point? Wait . . . it gets more improbable<\/a>:<\/p>\n

When Star Trek<\/em> arrives on Blu-ray and DVD Nov. 17, extras like deleted scenes and commentary will answer some lingering questions. Abrams said the DVD includes a scene cut from the film that features Spock Prime (Nimoy) dropping some logic about the unlikely chance meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the scene, Spock explains that (the encounter of Kirk and Spock Prime) is a result of the universe trying to restore balance after the time line is changed,\u201d Abrams said. \u201cThey acknowledged the coincidence as a function of the universe to heal itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abrams said he cut that scene because he liked the mystery the chance meeting provided — and the idea that Kirk and Spock are destined to be friends. (Another DVD mini-feature, titled \u201cThe Shatner Conundrum,\u201d will tackle the absence of William Shatner, the original Captain Kirk, from Abrams\u2019 movie, according to io9.com.)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
