Robau...in the sequel?

Captain Robau:

A panzy-assed man who got his ass handed to him, couldn't straightly answer simple questions like, "Have you seen this ship," and then got stabbed in the chest.

He also somehow confused "Stardate" with "the year plus a decimal" and in the process drastically altered how Stardates are calculated for centuries.

Oh, and he couldn't be trusted with a starship so much that Starfleet only risked one nacelle on him.

Robau: WEAK and FORGETABLE.

Bobba Fett looks at him and says, "Dude? What's all the fuss on this nobody?"

Dude, you're missing the point. Robau Rage isn't about the character of Richard Robau himself, it's about what he represents. Here we have a brand new character never before seen in Trek, and he caught everyone's attention. This sends a message that Trek fans want someone new, not a recast former hero. We want new captains, new adventures.

And besides, don't blame the fans. Blame Abrams and his cohorts who originall hyped the "badass Federation captain" we all eventually came to know as Robau.

And it's spelled "pansy" not "panzy."


And what did he do to "catch our attention."

What did he do to stand out to generate all this nuttiness?
 
I will agree that his actual role didn't quite live up the hype that had been surrounding him, but I think the fact that he generated that much hype is pretty impressive on its own.

Only those who believe in the might, wisdom, and all encompassing glory that is Robau were able to bask in the glory of the additional 7 hours and 23 minutes of Robau-ey goodness before the "actual" film even began.

Those heretic disbelievers not granted with the "sight" aka the "Robau Eye" such as yourself would ask such questions after only being able to witness the last 4 minutes of the Odyssey known as Robau.

The part where he space walked without a suit to destroy 10 Klingon battle cruisers with his bare hands and then dragged the Maru herself back to his ship to get the survivors off when he took the Kobayashi Maru test, was simply awesome.

The Good Captain should not only be in the sequel, but star as the lead, and be the front runner for the TV show.
 
If only we hadn't seen the medical display go TERMINATED because we never actually saw him die. Perhaps it was malfunctioning?

Maybe there were some nanoprobles on the deck and they scurried into his spilled blood and made their way into his body and put him in some kind of stasis and he remained in the garbage dump of the ship preserved until it went into the black hole where miraculously he was the only one to survive because of the nanoprobe powers and his awesomeness and he will be seen floating in stasis in space in the next film next to Data's head and R2D2.
 
Apparently someone has not seen Roc Robau do pushups: when Robau does pushups, the planet comes up to meet him.
 
Don't open this door. There are dirty secrets to be discovered...like how Robau is a descendent of the evil terrorist dude from Iron Man.
 
Jesus Christ.

This IS Boba Fett all over again.

:rolleyes:

So here's an idea: stop posting in the threads and destroying everyone else's fun.

I'm trying to ascertain what the appeal is.

What he did in his five minute of screen time to warrant this kind of base? Was it that he was bald? That he was black? That he was bald AND black?

That he refused to answer simple questions like "have you seen thi ship?"

That he tucked his tail and gave in to the demands of his attacker?

That he got killed without putting up any kind of fight whatsoever?

That he so cooly and casualy swept away those plastic curtain things I have going in to my meat cooler?

What make's him so bad-ass that he's getting this near Jack Bauer/Chuck Norris-ian take of awesomeness?

Or am I missing the joke?
