Into Darkness had a cool plot about militarism in Star Fleet being not-the-way. It had a nice bit where Kirk was tempted to launch missiles into a foreign country to kill a terrorist, and was told, "wait, that's bad" and then he realized it was actually loving bad, and didn't do it. There were good parts of Into Darkness. Unlike the first reboot movie there were some honest moments of good idealism. Section 31 was a good villain. It was a DS9 reference and was about actively rejecting militarism. And then there was the last act with Khan that everyone remembers and rightfully shits on and I can't blame anyone for calling the whole mess poo poo, but it's not unadulterated poo poo.

Nemesis is the only Start Truck movie I've only seen once. fake edit: Actually that's not true I haven't rewatched any of the JJtrek ones. But they genuinely never cross my mind when I think of Trek movies.

The absolute best part of Into Darkness was Scotty resigning. It's barely a two minute long scene, but it feels more like Star Trek than anything else in the movie. aside from the thankfully-not-a-brewery but still terrible engineering set and warp core

Orv posted:Does TNG ever really establish if Warbirds can warp while cloaked? They show up under the Enterprise's nose enough that I'd kind of assume they can, but in Redemption they have to move at sublight while cloaked so the blockade is actually a feasible idea and uggggggggggh (fake) science. Either way you'd think they could just warp at right angles out of range of the blockade and get there way faster anyway. Yeah it's established if they go faster than Warp 6 the cloak doesn't work very well. A few years later Starfleet will run into similar problems when they stick a cloaking device on one of their ships and it doesn't really work as advertised.

I figured the blockade was more like a sensor net even if that isn't at all what they said. Gettin all Lensman about it. Also if the Roms had taken the long way around the ecliptic or something there wouldn't be any room for them to claim blah blah whatever political poo poo the bowlheads wanted to talk about.

You know 20 Federation Starships with some replicator time are probably carrying enough remote sensor platforms to start to make this sort of thing work. They just didn't mention launching probes.

I'm worried about signing up for Starfleet. I hear sometimes you get surprise impregnated by aliens. I know you have a higher chance of traveling back in time and getting stuck in a temporal loop but I still don't want to take that chance.

It feels a little too Daredevil for a few moments in the middle but whatever, it's a perfectly fine theme that I'll listen to once in the pilot and then mute or skip in following episodes like I do with every other TV opening these days. I'm more concerned about how the incidental music will turn out. Suffer not a pan flute to live.
