It was a fun movie with the occasional inexplicable scene that did nothing for the plot or character arcs. I can agree with that

Unfortunately, the occasional inexplicable scenes outweighed the good scenes. Or the one.

The DS9 episode where they splice the gang into an old TOS episode is really fun and pretty well done

I liked where they really didn't know what the gently caress was going on when they arrived, like not knowing the Klingons didn't have ridges, or what Kirk actually looked like. That was p. funny.

Yup, this is why I read the TVIV Star Trek thread, my daily dose of :spergin: Star Trek info!

Looking at the photos on the bridge there are a lot of screens that I swear I remember being touch screens but maybe they weren't.

We still have touch screens in the modern day though and then they've decided to go back to buttons and knobs :colbert:


EDIT: I guess unless the Enterprise is based in an alternative universe where touchscreens are invented after light speed travel somehow...

Touch screens are awesome until the lights go out or you have to look up while using them. That's one of the biggest complaints I've heard about the Tesla, it's impossible to navigate the screen if you're not looking directly at it.

Has he been good at anything that wasn't the first one or two episodes of Sherlock?

No. I'm pretty sure he was chosen to be "the next Matt Smith", ie tall lanky awkward looking brilliant person, only his popularity is every bit as manufactured and exists only among tumblr girls, I'm pretty sure. Smith at least had to prove himself and ingratiate himself before the show got too emotionally manipulative, because he was so drastically different than Tennet, but Cumberbatch pretty much rode in on Smith's coat-tails.

"Allusion? Paradise Lost? What's that? Sounds philosophical to me, and I don't like Philosophical stuff" - JJ Abrams probably.

Their ears aren't their dicks dude, presumably they have dicks too.

Massive dicks that all women lust after, according to Roddenberry's one page treatment of the species, over a third of which is dedicated to their sexual prowess.

For some of us, doing something dangerous is our hobby.

Think how little Picard addresses the whole ship to tell people what's going on. Working the majority of jobs on the Enterprise must be this terrifying experience where you never know if you're going to have something unimaginably horrifying happen to you or your loved ones at any second. Think of the frantic rumors spreading up and down when there's Klingons on the starboard bow. Wait staff at Ten Forward probably shake all the time and have terrible PTSD from constantly wondering if they're going to get exploded. It's the uncertainty of things that really gets you.

In the opening episode, he was like "You're entitled to know that we're going to be going warp 9 and that's dangerous". "You're entitled to know that I'm about to put your lives at risk, good day".

Then start loving some ensigns.

I've always wondered why star fleet doesn't have fraternization rules. They're not military, but they still have a drat chain of command and conflict of interest.

There's an episode about that where Picard gets a new chief of astrosciences bs and falls for her, then has a bunch of issues resulting from that, then has to send her into harm's way and realizes it's not a good idea so he kicks her off the ship.
