WHAT if we're all wrong about Captain Robau?

[cooleddie74]

Seriously.

We all laud him as the most badass thing to come out of TREK in ages because he looks kewl, is bald and(seemingly)emotes raw authority. But if what if he goes down like a whiny punk on the bridge of the Kelvin when Nero's timeship attacks? What then?

 

[Brutal Strudel]

Didn't hurt Boba Fett.

 

[SalvorHardin]

I doubt it.
He is going down with the Kelvin, but if the quotes that started all this badass craziness are any indication, he will go down proud and cause some damage.

But in the unlikely even that he is a wimp, I vote we erase all references to his name on this BBS and never mention his name agai.....agi...ghhhh arghh............

 

[cooleddie74]

Good point.


"Robau? Captain Robau?

WHERE?"


(*BBS admiral swings rod, accidentally strikes Robau in back of bald head and sends him plummeting and screaming into the dreaded Fan Pit.*)

So...a TREK XI forums reboot?

That'd NEVER work, Silly.

You are one of those bbs purists and zealots aren't you ?

The BBS was created to exist in a specific timeline with certain characters and events.

I'm all for rebooting the forum if Robau wimpification were to prove to be the case. But if we're gonna reboot, can we please think about recasting Matt?

 

[Therin of Andor]

You know, the only thing that pleased the brave old "Spock Must Not Die!" protesters, who ventured into ST III wondering if their favourite Vulcan would be miraculously resurrected, was the knowledge that Captain J.T. Esteban of the Grissom was gonna be a bad-ass.

After Esteban's early demise, they switched alliegience to Captain Styles and his swagger stick, but Scotty left him with his pants down.

I'd really rather we didn't follow that train of thought any further, if it's all the same.

 

[Devon]

Are you challenging the mighty Robau, that he may be a "W" word?!? I have to run fast before the wrath!

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Robau finds your lack of faith disturbing.

Captain Styles is so badass, his son became a doctor before he even reached puberty.

Who was the captain with the pink bridge? Doesn't get any more ballsier than that.

Not really intended as a slam. Just a creative decision. I'd also swap a few roles around, for instance casting Sam Cogley as Starship Polaris, and vice versa. And Cooleddie74 as the "Blue Warp Nacelles" thread.

The "vice versa" would require a bit of a RAM upgrade.

Will you people stop questioning Robau's badassness before you get us all killed.

So, you think maybe he was in training as a hair-stylist prior to becoming a ship captain?

Those insisting on a BBS reboot fail to grasp the meta-fictional appeal of science fiction message boards. The TrekBBs is not about our future but the future of the BBS at the time of its inception. Which is why I only access it over dial-up.

And there was a horrible Nair accident? Yes. I can sort of see that as a canonical possibility. If written and handled correctly.
