Only got about a dozen more episodes of Enterprise left so I started rewatching the Abrams movies. 1. They're p good, Into Darkness was wack sometimes but still had good setpieces and Benny's performance as Khan is aight tho the fact that they made him into a white British dude who is like the physical opposite of Ricardo Montalban is really weird lol. He's all lanky and grave, none of the operatics of the OG Khan. I guess they had to switch it up tho. Zachary Quinto did a great job doing the KHAAAAAN scream. 2. Cardassians are mentioned in the first movie briefly, so at least in this universe they were a known quantity even that far back. 3. They mentioned "Admiral Archer's prized beagle." which to me means that Archer has just constantly been getting beagles or even rendered Porthos near immortal somehow. Also Archer must be old as loving poo poo at this point. How many years before TOS is Enterprise? 4. The first movie does a really great job of taking the 60s aesthetic of TOS and somehow modernized it. The costumes and poo poo are all on point and it's fun seeing how they managed to update the props so they look like the originals but still come off practical. 5. The phasers not being beams is kinda lame, but the gunfights are pretty cool lightshows. I generally like how they managed to up the budget and scale of everything but still have it feel Trek. Gonna watch Beyond tn which I remember being a blast. It's cool rewatching these because the first time I saw them my only Star Trek knowledge was from the smattering of random episodes I had seen growing up from TNG, TOS, DS9, ENT, and VOY, so going in and getting the references and the importance of things is neat.

We can just assume Archer had a son that continued the family tradition of being promoted out of nepotism, and Scotty is referring to that admiral's prized beagle

I was not very high on Star Trek '09 when I went back to it recently. Just felt like a generic action movie that they landed the Trek branding for and honestly I thought it looked pretty ugly? Just too busy, too many lights flashing in my face and things looking way too sterile.

In an episode of DS9 they mention Keiko is visiting her mom for her hundredth birthday, like it’s not at all unusual for people to live to be that old.

Did you like the part where Spock screamed and sobbed and jumped on the top of a hoverbus and punched Kahn in the face over and over again, the ultimate evolution of Spock as a character?

Loathe as I am to defend Into Darkness, Quinto's Spock is at the very least a guy who's explicitly stated as letting his emotions rule his character more than standard in the wake of multiple tragedies OG Spock never had to endure, so Kirk dying on top of that would definitely cause him to just loving snap and try to murder Khan out of revenge. And the part where Khan no sells a Vulcan neck pinch is legit a great "OH poo poo!" moment. It's just a terrible shame about, you know, the other entire runtime of Star Trek: Into Darkness.

And the part where Khan no sells a Vulcan neck pinch is legit a great "OH poo poo!" moment. It's literally set up in the first movie that Spock struggles with his emotions, anger especially. Not like it came out of nowhere, especially when he does it to Kirk after his race got genocided and Kirk intentionally goads him. This time he thinks he's lost his best friend and after losing his mother and basically 99% of his own race he's obviously touchy about that poo poo. I don't think anything is weird about that at all. Him wrestling with his Vulcan/Human nature is p. much the core of his character from the very first scene we see him.

Yeah, most of '09 and Into Darkness are actually quite logically sound. It's just their execution that sometimes comes up lacking, and I say this as someone who still rather likes Trek '09.

I like how they came up with the neck pinch in TOS because they thought having Spock jump around and wailing on dudes would look dumb and weird and they were right

Cumberbatch loving blows and any interest that I might have had in Into Darkness died when he was cast as Khan (We promise he isn't actually him though. We wouldn't just rip off Wrath of Khan...)

TheKingslayer posted:McCoy is 130 or something like that when he shows up on TNG. Just looking at what's being researched now in medicine humans comfortably living to 130+ a few hundred years in the future seems pretty reasonable. Biggest issue at the moment that no one seems to know what to do about is brain degeneration. But yeah easily possible thats a solvable problem, at least just delaying it a few decades. Edit: Had a client at work who was very close to a hundred and still completely with it, so being cognative at that age seems not even that far out of pretty normal human biology. A little help here and there by not to distant future medcine and some people getting to 130 and still being able to function mentally seems possibly doable. Honestly looking at how the transporter alone works it seems weird that aging is much of a thing in Star Trek. dr_rat fucked around with this message at 06:57 on Mar 29, 2024 |

lol @ casting Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan when Dev Patel was right loving there the whole time and even he's the lazy choice out of literally every other English-speaking Indian male actor on the planet.
