This weekend, "Star Trek" rebooted itself and rocked the worlds of you and a few million of your closest friends. But did you really see the whole movie? Below are five fun "Trek" facts that reveal even more minutiae about J.J. Abrams' soaring enterprise.
1. Slush-O: The Drink of the Future?
As Abrams' loyal fans know, the "Star Trek" director loves to link his worlds together via in-jokes and shared references — and even though "Trek" takes place many years away from "Lost," "Alias" and "Cloverfield," he doesn't disappoint. "There are inside jokes that banter about our company [Bad Robot Productions], movies that we have been a part of, and other things," Abrams said, telling his fans to keep a sharp eye out for things like Uhura ordering a Slush-O, the mysterious drink that helped fuel the "Cloverfield" story line. "The USS Kelvin is based on my grandfather's name — which was Harry Kelvin. A lot of people [who worked on the film] have names of ships and things that were nods to friends and family."
