Star Trek Into Darkness (Pre-release)

You know what else is usually personified with the female gender? The Enterprise. Apparently the marketing campaign likes showing off how beaten and bloodied she looks.

I will never look at a shuttle entering the rear main shuttle bay the same way again.

The original Enterprise was a lady, Scotty said so (to Geordie, IIRC), this one, where the size keeps changing, bits has been over-enhanced and the proportions are wrong... well...

That was McCoy actually. Data was giving him a tour.

Encounter at Farpoint said:
MCCOY: Well, this is a new ship, but she's got the right name. Now you remember that, you hear.
DATA: I will, sir.
MCCOY: You treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home.

But hey, why use the female gender as a positive attribute when you can use...

SCOTTY: She is one well endowed lady. I'd like to get my hands on her ample nacelles, if you'll pardon the engineering parlance.

...grope jokes instead.
 
Confusing McCoy in Encounter at Farpoint with Scotty in Relics... Well at least I knew it was a TOS character talking to a TNG one. :D
Guess I need to re-watch TNG. Time to save up for the blu-rays.
 
Interesting ship. It's the Enterprise-D with bigger nacelles too close to the saucer.


Yay! Big fat nacelle goes boom.


Reminds me of a fifties era diner.
 
As I said before, it's gonna be a fun ride.

I see they're re-treading on the ground of the first film though. Pep talk from Pike inspires Kirk to be a better man so that he can save the world against impossible odds. Oh well, if it works I guess. That formula isn't terrible. :)

What I'm really hoping for in this film is some character development that makes me believe that Kirk is a character who is respected and trusted by his crew. That has to be earned and I didn't get it from the first film. I don't mind if they take a while to get there as long as they develop it.

That would imply you would have to know and care about the characters. That is a problem.
 
I'm getting unfortunate Star Trek: Nemesis flashbacks from that giant black übership of doom. Huge, check. Overpowered, check. Jagged and black, check. Facing off with the Enterprise in a nebula, check.

It's the Starfleet version of the Scimitar. Why are they borrowing ideas from the worst Trek movie of them all? :lol:
