Dorsal Hull blown apart in next movie. Something new

[DumbDumb2007]

It almost happened in TWOK. Reliant's Phasers hit the Enterprise at the base of the Dorsal Hull.
Why not take it a step further to show something new and be savage. Let the Enterprise get hit in the side of the Dorsal hull and let the ship get cut in half .
It would be new and different. It would give the special effects people a new job to do. It would be cool seeing the Enterprise separate and dump the section of the dorsal hull still attached to the saucer.
( It would be cool seeing the saucer actually land on a moon with it's landing legs extended).
It would allow for the Enterprise to start out in the film with a different Neck and after it's repair it would have close to the neck we later come to see.
Let's see cut the ship in half !

It might look...a little SOMETHING...like this:

Me, I'm not looking forward for the neat stuff blowing up. I'm looking forward to the story.

Personally, I'm wondering if there are going to be any hot doods in the movie!

Is that Pendercraft's "flyable" Jupiter II for MicroSoft Flight Simulator?

I think it would be cool to see an academy scene where we see test flights within our system and a litle more of earth too

Why do I get the feeling that I am looking at the starship equivalent of a golf-cart?

 

[The Squire of Gothos]

Man oh man, there'd better be one ship getting torn apart like this or I'm walking out!!!1! etc etc

 

[number6]

I am sooo boycotting this film if that doesn't happen.

 

[DumbDumb2007]

Let's see it Cut in Half....

 

[archeryguy1701]

If they cut it in half, we would be skipping right to the Enterprise-A. I don't think they would simply repair a ship that was that badly damaged. Salvage parts, likely, but they won't repair it.

Agreed. Such damage sounds a little too severe. I don't Starfleet was that hard up for ships.

You want to see the Enterprise take one in the neck?! What's wrong with you?

I honestly don't know for sure...I was just looking for a pic of the Jupiter 2 with landing struts extended. Found several, but this was one of the best I found to illustrate my point

No matter; still, thanks for the reply.

Yeah man, this movie is gonna have to bring the brutalz. Who cares about the story line when you have the Enterprise being ripped in half?

/sarcasm off...

 

[sturmde]

It's too bad we never got to see the "Captain's Yacht" on the underside of the Enterprise D in TNG. It would have looked like the Jupiter 2 shown there.

So, instead of slicing apart the ship, perhaps we could slice apart some characters too? I'd rather talk about Barry Russo's character, Commodore Robert Wesley, who appeared not just in the "Ultimate Computer", but also in One of Our Planets Is Missing, in numerous of the professional novels, and later portrayed in the movies by Harve Bennett just as "Admiral Bob" in the movies. So, with some of the chatter about Star Trek (2008) having an "important Starfleet captain" other than Pike and Kirk... why not a Captain Robert "I Knew Bob" Wesley? After all, we know that Kirk knew him very very well. Might even have been his previous commander, thus DEFINITELY related to the movie if it's relating Kirk's pre-Enterprise career. But oh well, I'm OT, as that thread was closed as being totally irrelevant to the film. So let's slice up something else.

Sure, it wouldn't be a dealbreaker if the Enterprise took major damage. We have no idea of its history between The Cage and WNMHGB.

Not completely.

[sturmde]

Ah hah, yes it does look similarly... but I need a bottom view to know if there are or aren't retractable legs!

The Hangar Bay on the 1701 was much more practical though than that Captain's Yacht Mooring appears. One of the few things Star Trek: Enterprise seemed to have gotten correct was the shuttle pod and the pod bays. Those seemed like predecessors. Perhaps we can see a ENT-era shuttlepod still in service in some early parts of Star Trek (2008).

You tied a tourniquet around his NECK, doctor?!
