star trek generations

Wasn't it a reuse of a shot from Star Trek VI?

That's not quite as egregious as the reuse of the destruction of Chang's Bird-of-Prey late in the film for the destruction of Lursa and B'Etor's ship. The Excelsior going to warp wasn't any special, but the destruction of Chang's Bird-of-Prey was pretty stylish and memorable.

The shot of the Excelsior is forgivable. It's like one second, and the ship is flying at warp speed so fast you need freeze frame to tell it's not the Enterprise-B.

The shot of the BoP exploding, on the other hand, is just silly. I remember reading somewhere that the original idea was that Lursa and Be'tor would have had a much larger and more powerful ship, more of a match for the Enterprise-D. But because they would save VFX money if they reused the BoP explosion scene from TUC, they changed the ship to a BoP. I don't know if this is true, but if it is, that's pretty pathetic.

I don't know? It stuck out like a sore thumb on my 50" TV.

But in the Abramsverse, Kirk doesn't seem to have a brother, younger or older.

I know it is in the comics and therefor not admissible in court, but one IDW comic had George show up, living a similar life as in TOS Prime, though his outlook on life seems to be a bit harsher.

I know the deleted scene was supposed to show George running away from home, and the James Kirk zooms by him in the Corvette. Obviously, being deleted that scene is also not indicating anything, save for the possibility of George appearing later on.

The scene where Kirk roars by in the Corvette was in the theatrical release. The dialog was relooped so Kirk yells, "Hey, Johnny!" instead of "Hey, Georgie!" because the earlier scene showing the Kirk brothers having difficulties under their 'uncle's' iron fist was cut out.

So they removed the part that made sense. Smart.

Well you must have one of those newfangled super-tv's that can make this kind of stuff out. Not everyone has super-tv's, y' know.

Wait till we get the super duper tvs of the future. It will be impossible to get away with anything by then.
