I'M here to tell you what to like!!
Exactly right, that job is taken!!!!
I'M here to tell you what to like!!
Why is Saavik already an ensign if she hasn’t graduated yet?
Why didn’t Spock understand that Ceti Alpha Six was unstable enough to explode in a mere six months in Space Seed?
What’s wrong with the Reliant’s sensors? The USS Grissom was able to detect ONE photon tube and pin point its exact location on Genesis. However the Reliant only has a “minor energy flux reading on one dynoscanner”, when in fact it is missing approximately FIFTY adult human beings! Despite the inhospitable environment, I doubt 50 people should only produce a minor reading (which is mistaken for “particles of
pre-animate matter”).
Chekov recognizes the Botany Bay belt buckle and realizes where they actually are. Why didn’t he just call for an emergency beam out? (I won’t go into the whole “why does Chekov know who Khan is, why does Khan remember Chekov’s face thing. No Sir I won’t.)
Khan’s men were more or less the same age as him in Space Seed, however everyone seems much younger than Khan now. Shouldn’t they all at least look the same age as Khan? At least a “little” older than they do in the film?
So in The Motion Picture, Kirk was pretty irritated that he had to take a shuttle over to the Enterprise when the transporters were not working. Yet this time they take him over in a shuttle again. Are the transporters still not working? Why is Kirk okay with it now?
The shuttle is told to approach and dock with the port side torpedo bay. So why does it dock with the engineering section?
Well the uniforms certainly look much more militaristic now don’t they? But hold on, I thought Starfleet “wasn’t” the military. Oh wait, David Marcus says that scientists were always “pawns of the military” when referring to the approaching Reliant. So I guess they “are” the military now... Even though I thought they were primarily explorers and scientists.
When Saavik is ordered to take the Enterprise out of spacedock, Kirk looks like a nervous Dad giving his daughter her first driving lesson. Why is he worried? Sulu is actually working the controls and he’s not about to ding the ship into anything.
When Reliant approaches the Enterprise, Khan quotes a Klingon proverb. When did he learn this? The last time he had access to a library was aboard the Enterprise. Even if the Enterprise databanks contained this proverb, I think Khan spent his precious time studying the
engineering/ship schematics and not alien cultures.
After Khan’s initial attack, the “main energizers” are knocked out. I assume this includes the warp drive otherwise why wouldn’t they flee? So if the warp drive is out (according to the Enterprise’s redesign in The Motion Picture) the phasers won’t work either as they channel power through the warp engines. Yet Kirk fires back at Khan with phasers.
Why does Scotty bring a severely burned cadet Preston to the bridge instead of directly to sickbay? And why does Saavik the Vulcan have an emotional reaction to cadet Preston’s condition?
In the underground facility on Regula, Carol Marcus muses that it took the Starfleet Corps of Engineers ten months to tunnel out the storage area. Ten months? Seriously? What happened to phasers that can vaporize rock or transporters that can remove it instantly? Scotty beamed up 400 tons of water and whales in Star Trek IV. I guess the Starfleet Corps of Engineers took a page out of Scotty’s book and grossly exaggerated their time to completion.
When the Enterprise enters the Mutara Nebula, everyone lurches forward except Kirk.
Even after Kirk “gets it” and has the Enterprise drop down 10 000 meters (because Khan is just circling around on the same plane), after Khan passes overhead, Kirk has the Enterprise pop back up behind the Reliant.
Why not just tilt the Enterprise’s nose up 90 degrees and shoot the Reliant from underneath it as it passed over?
During Spock’s eulogy, Kirk says that Spock’s soul was the “most human.” However in Star Trek VI, Kirk tells Spock that “everyone’s human” and Spock finds this remark insulting.
And Saavik the Vulcan cries her eyes out.
This is Trek’s best? Pffft!Kevin
Seriously, It depends on your own personal tastes. The Wrath of Kahn is definitely a fan Favorite.
Sigh....he know's, this is a tongue in cheek critique to compliment the Into Darkness thread complaints...You really had to be there.
Oh, I just thought he was someone who saw the movie once and didn't get some stuff. My bad.....
Dude, that is awesome! Too funny, and totally understandable. No, he is a HUGE fan who is making fun at all the complaining about Into Darkness.
Minor upgrades or Modifications to the system between TMP and WOK.
I thought they had battery power? "Enough for a few shots but not enough against their shields" or something like that.
This is a great reason to rewatch the movie.
Kirk: Scotty, what's left?
Scotty: Just the batteries sir! I can have auxiliary power in a few minutes!
Kirk: We don't have a few minutes! Can you give me phaser power?
Scotty: A few shots sir!
Spock: Not enough against their shields.
Kirk: Who the hell are they?
So some of the 'criticisms' are due to not understanding the film itself. Plenty of problems with "The Angry Bitterness of John Harrison" that aren't just simple misunderstandings. They're just bad writing.

Then address my concerns and explain how a criminal Starfleet washout gets given an officer's commission after less than a few weeks in the academy and promoted to the Captain of a starship with the power to level the surface of entire planets.
Right, just like some of the criticisms of Into Darkness. Like Jeyl asking why Khan put his crew in the torpedoes when it was Marcus that did that.
Kirk: Why is there a man in that torpedo?
Khan: There are men and women in all those torpedoes. I put them there.
*later*
Kirk: And what exactly would you like me to do with the rest of his crew, sir? Fire them at the Klingons, end 72 lives? Start a war in the process?
Marcus: He put those people in those torpedoes. I simply didn't want to burden you with the knowledge of what was inside of them.
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Pike wanted Kirk for his first officer, because both films show that Pike has an intense interest in wanting Kirk to succeed.
PIKE: You know, that instinct to leap without looking, that was his nature too, and in my opinion, it's something Starfleet's lost.
Strange New World said:Reed: Sir, we can't safely land in this wind with a thruster out.
Archer: Archer to Tucker.
Tucker: Captain, aren't you forgetting something?
Archer: We're going to have to wait until the wind dies down. Try to manage till then.
The burned cadet Scotty brought to the bridge was his nephew.
Deleted scene and book.
Even more reason to bring him directly to sickbay! :lol
I must admit, I never could figure that one out.
Sigh....he know's, this is a tongue in cheek critique to compliment the Into Darkness thread complaints...You really had to be there.
