Hewlett posted:"IT DID HAPPEN! I SAW IT HAPPEN DON'T TELL ME IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!" This was the best line of the film, because though it did happen to Nero, he also knew how crazy it sounds in the timeline he is in and knows drat well how crazy it makes him look, but gently caress it, he did see it happen and he is constantly convincing himself that because it did happen he needs to do something about it, henceforth fulfilling the self inflicted crazy man prophecy. I got shivers to that line in the film because I felt it encapsulated everything of the character Nero in one sentence. Also, Eric Bana, awesome actor.

I never noticed the Kelvin having the nacelles positioned like that, I assumed it was just like an Akula.

Doesn't that sort of poo poo happen over a long period of time? Aren't there visible signs that it's about to happen within the next few years? Months?

Blistex posted:My number one "shout at screen" thing has always been, "You just destroyed one enemy by hitting it with 4 photons, do it again to the other two!" The TNG episode where they send Tasha back in time with the Enterprise C is a perfect example. Three Klingon Birds of prey show up. They destroy one in 5 seconds, but just sit there doing nothing until they are destroyed. Do they have to carry those torpedoes by hand from another part of the ship to launch them? "poo poo, we just fired all 4 in the tubes, maybe we should have had another 4 waiting?" Yeah, that convinced me the Federation deserved to lose the war.

Just as a heads-up in case you're trying to remain in the dark: Into Darkness has its Australian premiere tomorrow, so we can safely expect spoilers to be hitting the Internet in about 24 - 48 hours.

Having trouble discerning sarcasm ITT. The one thing I disliked most about ST09 was the weak villain element. With few exception I almost cringed everytime Bana spoke in the movie. Also, seriously couldn't they have thought of a better name? Almost as bad as Klingon General Chang. Maybe Star Trek 2.2 will introduce us to Cardassian aggression, personified by the ruthless Gul Chavez.

Is it a good idea to generally avoid threads in CD between the international release date and the North American release dates, or are they usually spoiler-safe (as in spoilers linked offsite or contained with spoiler tags)?

Styles Bitchley posted:Having trouble discerning sarcasm ITT. Almost all the trouble with Nero seems to have come from the strike. Nero's a pretty strong villain, they just did a poor job tying it together in the script they had. What they had was a few good lines and an info dumb via Spock, and that's just not enough to properly hang a villain on.

The deleted scene of Nero in the Klingon slave camp was quite good. I assume it had to be removed because it would have lead to questions like; what the hell did the Klingons do with the Narada for 20 years.

Being that far ahead technology wise should have been more than enough to explain why it was able to destroy a federation fleet and a bunch of Klingon ships as well. Also, when has mixing Borg tech and non-borg tech ever resulted in good things happening? Shouldn't the ship have turned "Borg" and said, "screw y'all Romulan bitches, we're going assimilatin! YeeeHaw!" (Borg ships sound like Southern Stereotypes in my head)

The only part of Countdown that isn't loving terrible is the justification they give for the romulans being inked the gently caress up, which was kind of interesting but doesn't make up for the rest of it being everything terrible in Star Trek summed up in short order.
