I've been in a mood tonight, and my YouTube scouring has led me to the Sabotage scene from Beyond. Movie-Trek did not deserve just how drat good Beyond was. It's not the best film, not by a long shot, but goddrat is it fun. Is that... classical music?

It totally did. Elba is a very strong actor, as Heimdall shows what he can do with basically no material, and they totally wasted the guy on a makeup kaijuu. But it still did a lot right. The Yorktown is amazing scifi, and to me everything up to the zero-G fisticuffs was actually really interesting scifi craziness. And man, Pine's Shatner in this film is so on point it is uncomfortable. He hits these points where he's nailing Shatner without swinging for the outfield, and it's just so drat good. That's the tragedy of that version of Trek. Urban and Pine deserved better.

I remember thinking they were going to have Edison redeem himself at the last minute by stopping the bomb himself and I think the movie would go up a couple more ticks if it had happened.

I thought it was a bold choice to have him not redeem himself, but holding his reveal til an exposition dump at the end made his origins a pointless afterthought. With say, Khan in TWOK, you know this guy is a 200 year old man out of his time but enhanced to be equal to the modern era. That baggage was there the whole movie, along with the wreckage of his previous encounter with Kirk. In Beyond, the baddie is just an alien who hates the Federation for vague reasons, hell at first he's just a dude who preys on passing ships. Then at the end it's "ohyeahimaguyfrom100yearsagowhowashumanbutturnedalienandgotshaftedintheromulanwar." It makes an epic villain weak. Like if Khan was Captain Ahab, Edison should have been The Ancient Mariner, an undying Starfleet Captain gone bad and haunting the space lanes.

That would have fit the themes of the movie better. Having them be angry that they thought the Federation had abandoned them was a great concept, it would have been cheesy as gently caress but I would have loved it if they had them come across some giant memorial on the Yorktown that showed Starfleet spent decades looking for its lost ship.

say what you will about Voyager, but Torres telling Janeway "When I said I meant [x amount of time], I mean it." Nice way of subverting engineers being expected to break the laws of physics.

The source is Nerdrotic who basically specializes in bashing anything "SJW" or progressive in scifi as pandering and "As I told you it would be, it is an abject failure." The thing is, he often relies on "secret insiders" and I have never bothered to see if any of his predictions or rumors were true, but I gave a feeling his accuracy rate is not great.

BlockTube solved that issue for me, as you can block entire channels forever, even from your recommended videos list, so if I see anything that's obviously garbage, I just blacklist the channel forever on the spot, cleaned things up quick. That's on firefox, though, I don't know if it's available on other browsers.

The detail about the only people liking it being JJTrek fans tips it over from "believable but not certain" into "almost certainly bullshit". It's just such a clean narrative

Honestly, a follow up to TNG in 2019 is probably way easier to gently caress up than any prequel or TOS remake you can imagine

It is such a brain gently caress that it has been longer from the end of TNG to now than it was from TOS to TNG. The Picard series is like if there were a Shatner acted Kirk series as the follow up to TNG.

Moving that reveal to roughly the middle of the movie would've helped a lot. Putting it at the end isn't as interesting as they thought it was. This ain't The Sixth Sense.

T.C. posted:It is such a brain gently caress that it has been longer from the end of TNG to now than it was from TOS to TNG. It's this weird pop culture drift that happens with Star Trek media. Yes, the Captain is an important character but especially with TNG, the other characters around him are almost as important. Riker got shunted to the sidelines in the TNG movies, sans Generations, for Data and its like the writers not saw his character as critical to the show which was bizarre to me. I don't mind the concept of what the Picard show seems to be about, what happens when an idealist sees the world for what it is and can he regain his idealism. It's a good premise for Picard more than say Kirk or Sisko. But I don't trust modern writers to not gently caress it up.

For Riker at least in TNG movie 2 and 3 there are good production reasons to sideline him, he was directing!

Yeah the weird marginalization of Riker as a character was one of my biggest internal gripes about those movies. I mean he did stuff, but not character stuff.

I got to “Threshold” in my Voyager rewatch and honestly? “Sub Rosa” is still far, far worse. Blatantly sexist and trying to glean sympathy for a rapist and offensive Scottish stereotypes trump what is, honestly, a story whose worst crime is really dumb science. Hell, “Threshold” isn’t even the worst episode of season 2; not when “Tattoo” exists.

For every month you work at Sisko's, he reveals to you one more detail about the girl you fell in love at first sight with. "Her favorite flower is petunias" "She likes to walk in the rain" "She is a trained pianist" "She goes to awe burrrrn university"
