STAR TREK
LTK:
--- Quote ---Delta Vega, the planet Spock marooned Kirk on, was a planet in the Original Series that Kirk marooned a friend on(at Spock's suggestion), because he was mutating into a super-powerful psionic being. It's worth noting that they moved the planet from the edge of the galaxy to near Vulcan, just to suit the purposes of the story and still make the reference.

Ah, I see. What kinda bothered me about Delta Vega was that elderly Spock just happened to be stranded on that planet too. It's all fine that they kill or otherwise dispose of half of the initial crew on the bridge to get the characters in there so that it fits with the story of the original Star Trek, but that coincidence was just a bit too improbable.

Ozymandias:
Shoot! The fencing thing! I knew there was another nod to a TOS episode, but couldn't remember it.
Also, LTK, that coincidence made sense. Since it was the closest planet to Vulcan, it seemed the logical place to dump both of them. The coincidence that didn't make sense was Scotty being there.

There are no spoiler tags on this forum. You just inadvertently stumbled onto the manner in which we all post spoilers.
Anyways, I don't see what everyone's problems with coincidence is. Just about every story ever written is based on a long series of increasingly unlikely coincidence. For example, that time that a pair of droids just so happened to come into the care of their previous owner's son, after being sent down their by said farm boy's long lost sister.
Ozymandias:
Well, except for the fact that the droids were once Anakin's, that all actually makes logical sense in context and isn't a coincidence at all.

To be fair, in context, you know who ending up there makes sense with the explanation concerning his professor's dog.
