MillennialVulcan posted:Speaking of Beyond, I really expected Kirk to talk down the villain, remind him of his old values. But it was just another punch fight. They walk RIGHT up to the line of it too where you see Elba look at the weapon like “I must sacrifice myself” then figures “naaaah” and keeps being a bad guy

Troi is the only character whose writing improved going to Picard and she seemed pretty good talking poo poo to picard.

FlamingLiberal posted:In Insurrection, Picard leaves Ru'afo to die on the collector ship I wish they went with the original ending they'd filmed of Picard trying to save Ru'afo, and Ru'afo going "nah" and launching himself into the planet's rings and accidentally de-aging himself into nonexistence. It would have been a much more poignant ending. But test audiences wanted more Action Picard and less TNG Picard

I like to imagine whoever gets Picard’s captain’s logs and has to listen to stuff like “It's been over thirty years since I last saw my archaeology professor. His presence has taken me back to a time when I had considered a very different career.” is just banging their head against the desk like “who the gently caress cares talk about the aliens!”

There's the early episode where his logs are just about how awesome the holodeck is.

There should be a Kelvinverse comic where they retell the story of TMP and it ends with PineKirk punching out V'Ger.

bull3964 posted:Yeah, Beyond was decent despite of the climax. It should have had an ending after the swarm that didn't involve the same tired big bad escaping and threatening Innocents and only our hero can punch them down from a high place. Yeah, have Krall insane, but also legitimately pissed at how the Franklin was abandoned. He sets off some timed device on Yorktown and then discovers something poignant that makes him realise Starfleet searched for them for decades. Too late to stop the device, he sacrifices himself to save the station.

Tunicate posted:Has Lower Decks done a Captain's Blog joke yet? No, but the main(?) character gets caught in the first episode making a fake captain's log because he's a giant Starfleet weeb. It also heavily implies that the actual captain's logs used to stage set episodes are simply the final product of a LOT of gently caress up takes, because the actual captain has to keep redoing hers a lot because she keeps getting interrupted by Star Trek poo poo all the time.

I never read it but IIRC he doesn't actually fight V'Ger, just has a chat, and V'Ger is open to it because the Narada itself is interesting to it?

Yeah, that's what happens - V'Ger sees the Narada as an equal so isn't hostile. Nero just communicates with it and figures out where and when Spock is going to appear in the past using it's computing power.

Are those comics good? I read bits of the one with Q and Sisko but the traced art of movie stills really put me off and I couldn’t pay attention. I liked the idea of Q telling Picard about the universe split and then going to check it out himself.

Angry_Ed posted:Nero's ship was augmented with 24th-century Borg technology? It was a mining ship. It was way more powerful than anything in the TOS era, but I can't see it possibly being on the same scale of power as the V'ger probe. V'ger could turn anything it encountered into pure data. I don't even think the Borg could counter it.

The Countdown prequel comics for Star Trek 2009 revealed that the Narada was augmented with Borg tech. After the destruction of Romulus the Narada stumbled upon a Tal Shiar base who souped-up the Narada with Borg tech so Nero could go on a rampage against the Federation or something. Probably not canon to the movie, but probably is to the comics. EDIT: This is what it looked like before getting Borged-up

Veotax posted:EDIT: This is what it looked like before getting Borged-up Kinda disappointed it didn't have at least the general shape of the Narada (if slightly more sensible) - I always imagined that basically what it did was open up and 'eat' asteroids. Although I do remember that the designer was only told it was a giant wierd romulan battleship from the future and to be totally different to anything seen before. He didn't know it was a mining ship. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Oct 10, 2020 |
