STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS - Grading & Discussion [SPOILERS]
- Thread starter Agent Richard07
- Start date
We argued about ship sizes a lot and have now established the pattern of repetitive complaints that will tide us over until the next film in 2016.
I've been taking some time and reading through some of this stuff. Whoa! Some crazy fun arguments. Seems like a few Trek fans here didn;t like the new movie all that much. Here I thought it was just some crazy nonsense I read in some news articles to drum up website hits. Too bad.
Seems like a lot of new faces on the boarfd. That's good. Or is it that I came back just in time for Halloween?
Can't wait for '16. Count me present for opening night.

Seemed to be quite a few new people showing up to get in on the discussion about the Blu-Ray/DVD release, but I don't think I'd rule out the Halloween effect completely.
I give it a 6/10. Big improvement from the last film, and it actually felt like Star Trek, but there's still a lot of stupid and the whole thing with Khan felt tacked in. Where the 2009 film is something I would have started all over again from scratch, with STID I can see what needed to be fixed to really make it work better.
Just hit me - I wonder why Khan and his people weren't deposited on a planet of their own at the end of STID, like they were in "Space Seed".
Spock Prime probably advised them not to.
Not sure if that works as a joke or as something believable in the Abramsuniverse.
Probably easier to keep an eye on superhuman popsicles.
^ But it would be easier for somebody to let them loose from the warehouse where they are stored. If Ceti Alpha V had worked out as it should have (in TOS/ST II), no one would have ever had to deal with Khan's people ever again. They'd have been totally cut off.
Then place warning beacons in orbit so they won't.
I don't doubt the Klingons or Romulans or some other space-faring group would have no issue setting them free so they could be a thorn in the Federation's side.
That would never happen!

But there's the rub. It wouldn't just be the Federation's side necessarily. It's a genie out of the bottle thing isn't it, so they might show some common sense for once. Well, unless they figure they could "control" them of course.
Make sure the planet is in Federation space, then.
In any case, it's like I just said: it would be much easier for somebody to wake them up from deep freeze in that warehouse and release them, than it would for the Klingons or Romulans to stumble across some uncharted, lifeless planet in Federation territory.

That's never stopped anyone before! I'll point to Kruge and the Genesis planet as exhibit A.
Borg and Earth: Exhibit B

At least Kruge knew exactly what the Genesis planet was. Placing Khan and his crew on some random world wouldn't do anything, because there'd be no reason for passersby to suspect that anything was there.
By having spies deep within the Federation that could access those records. What makes you think those same spies wouldn't exist in the Abramsverse?
Wherever Khan and his cadre are stored, danger exists someone could set them free either intentionally or inadvertently. In the Abramsverse, the Klingons now have had a pair of run-ins a century apart with what seems to be human(s) of exceptional ability.
It may pique their curiosity.
Only because Valkris found out about it for him.
I'd be more optimistic if we had ever seen the Ark of the Covenant unboxed again.
