How would you transition into the opening credits with the Klingon capture scene? Maybe after Spock's birth?

Currently my edit goes like this :

1) Spock's birth

2) Paramount / Bad Robot intro (yes, AFTER Spock's birth)

3) The destruction of the Kelvin and death of Pappa Kirk

4) STAR TREK titles

5) Klingons capture the Narada

6) Jim's brother

7) Kirk on car (does anybody have a good copy of the trailer ? It's not on the DVD and I need the scene of the car hitting the road without "IOWA" written in the top left corner)

8) Vulcan bullies (can there be bullies on a planet whose inhabitants are purely logical ???)

9) Spock's parents intercut slightly with Spock talking with his father

10) ... up to Kirk meets Bones

11) Rura Penthe

12) "Three years later" - capturing Spock, Kirk goes "learning"

13) Extended Kirk and Gaila / Kobayashi Maru sequence (I haven't noticed any "green nose"

14) Kirk on trial and on the Enterprise

15) Amanda (with the film crew :) )

16) Kirk runs to the bridge ...

17) Kirk and other Orion girl etc... :)
