The Death of Captain Robau

Surely not.

 

Yes, yes the the question indeed was in regard to the "subtle" part.

Nero was a raving emo manic and in case the audience missed this fact Elder Spock points out for us that he was "troubled". Not unlike a certain eugenic overlord we once met, at least their pain stems from similar motivations, dead wives and all.

 

lol. Yes, I know. The question was silly, so I responded with more sarcasm in the hope that you would catch on (and then again to the other poster's comment) but I'm not in a jovial enough mood today to keep it up.

Obviously, my remark that Nero's insanity might be overlooked by the audience due to its subtlety was not meant in earnest. I find it hard to believe that anyone could think that it was.

 

Consider that you're in a thread discussing what actually happened to Captain Robau...

 

Fair point.

 

That was just SpockPrime's penchant for understated humor. As in substituting "troubled" for "bat-shit looney".

 

lol

Kirk: "Pike was captured."

SpockPrime: "By Nero."

Kirk: "What do you know about him?"

SpockPrime: "Nero put the 'crazy' in crazy motherfucker."

 

I think he was just total intergalactic awesomeness that just blew me out the chair at how he was.



I think they should make Star Trek TV spin-off about Captain Robau and the voyages of the U.S.S. Kelvin (NCC-0514) before its demise.

 

I keep hearing we're going to get at least one Pocket Books novel about Robau, George Kirk and the Kelvin if nothing else. Dunno though.

 

We are? cool. I really hope they make a backstory book for Robau, the Kelvin, and the Kirk family.
