Shuttlepod One is the best ENT episode because it canonizes T'Pol's sexy butt.

He doesn't suck as a person. Just as an actor. And just on a timeline of his other TNG foils (Stewart, Spiner, Dorn, Burton). And I had to completely re-evaluate that opinion when the Death to All Things Acting Beltrane showed up. MikeJF posted:The comparison between Kaiden's face and voice is Don't care I'm still in love.

Sash! posted:Finally got around to seeing the Trek Into Darkness. I liked it too, up to a point. Then it just went off the rails and ruined all the good will it had spent an hour and a half building up. I think it could have been far more interesting if Khan had turned out to be a good guy, and really been Kirk's friend. Then you could have had the KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN callback when Khan dies in the warp core saving the ship. That woulda been a better ending than...that poo poo we got.

Yeah when they started working together I realised it would have been cool to flip Khan around and make him a cool dude. I hadn't thought of having him die saving the ship in the core though, but you're right that would have been a better way to do that callback. Ah what could have been. I really dig a lot of individual elements in the JJ films but they just aren't very good overall.

I guarantee you if they'd made him a good guy people would just complain that this horrific warlord who was such a big deal that they froze him and shot him into goddamn space to get rid of him turned around and became a hero.

They could've had him being forced by circumstances to work with Kirk, originally planning to double-cross, but coming to realise in the new era and more evolved times that the old ways wouldn't work and cooperation truly was better. Also sacrificing himself to save the other sleepers could've stayed in character.

Oh I'm sure it could've worked in the story, I'm just saying there would be plenty of neckbeards to complain about that direction too.

Next, you'll tell me that they'll create elaborate justifications for why the things that were cool when they were 12 are better than the things that are cool when they're middle-aged!

Some Star Trek nerds spend an inordinate amount of time discussing Star Trek. Sometimes they do this on the internet.

Maybe someday, there will be rules about that kind of thing. But until someone writes that... 'directive', we're just going to have to make tough posts everyday.

There's probably a decent story in there about history being written by the winners and everything Kirk's generation know about Khan is actually a lie. Of course if you do it badly then you end up accidentally making a positive allegory for holocaust denial, so perhaps not.

They specifically said back in Space Seed that Khan was recorded as the only one of the warlords of the era who never did any massacres or genocide, so they can distance themselves from that from the start.
