Have we figured out Robau…?
- Thread starter T J
- Start date
I thought he was the commander of the Kelvin. Which also falls into the realm of "Poor little ship getting it's butt kicked by Nero."
I remember early reports said Robau would be depicted as a "badass" captain, to counter all the supposedly incompetant Starfleet captains we've had in other Trek movies.
I dunno. I always thought Terrell got a bum rap.
+1
I thought Terrell had the capacity to be fairly badass if he wasn't under mind control.
There is dialog in the film where Pike tells Kirk that his father was the captain of that ship for 12 minutes. So presumably Robau gets killed or incapacitated and George takes command he then sets a colision couse with nero's ship and has everyone (including himself and his wife) abandon the ship (this is way you see alot of shuttles near the Kelvin in the trailer) . So Nero fails to kill kirks parents but significantly alters the timeline by causing the Kelvin to be destroyed.
The guy vaporized himself as a last act of defiance against Khan. I'd say that's enough to earn a spot in the Halls of Badassery.
All we know is that he's the Badass Captain Robau.
If he wants to take on a giant space octopus by himself, he can... because he's the Badass Captain Robau.
If Kirk's parents get killed... that's not his problem, cause he's the Badass Captain Robau.
The people of Iowa loved the Badass Captain Robau so much that they named one of their streets "Badass Captain Robau Street". But they had to change it back because people kept dying on the crosswalk. Noone crosses the Badass Captain Robau and lives.

Uh.....ri..what...oh, yeah....I heard about the...Iowa thing. (I can't make up my mind to laugh or what...)
I still like the Final Frontier setup where Kirk was April's first officer when April captained the Enterprise....obviously that's out but...still, too bad Robau wasn't named April. It'd be a nice little touch which wouldn't mean much other than they know something of the books (which were great, I might add).

Do you think that includes Sulu?
As did the Reliant, I know we have seen the same ship on the good guy side since but there always seems to have been a slight hatred for the ship by certain fans...shame because its one of the best non 1701 ships in Trek.
Id say thats a fair guess at the plot, Ive been looking at screen caps trying to work out if the shuttles are covering the Kelvin like fighters or moving away, I guessing the latter as in some shots it looks like the front of a shuttle with lights (which in some shots the windows arent too visible making the lights look like engines)
Im betting George Kirk stays behind at the helm to let the others get away, meaning he would be the Badass Captain Robau's Badass first officer...mayb the Kelvin is just one Badass little ship.
You probably have to eat a live Tribble just to get assigned to her.
Sulu was competent- that's not the same as Badass.
Are we going to get the line I always love?
"RAMMING SPEED!"
Hot damn, I bet George Kirk is smoking a big cigar as he says that.
Who's playing George Kirk? please tell me it's the HOFF?
(with a special uniform that shows his hairy chest).
Unfortunately, the spoilers seem to indicate the Badass Captain Robau gets killed by the Space Octopus when it destroys the Kelvin.
He was too busy looking good to care.
