Janeway vs. Nero

Nero took out V'Ger in the comics? Oi... and people ask me why I don't read that... stuff. :p
 
The casual filmgoer isn't going to know anything about Narada having Borg technology because it's not on the screen. It doesn't matter if it's "official" because it's in the comics. If a comic or novel contains important information needed to understand the film and get more money from the potential audience, then the film failed to get its information across to that audience. Blame it on studio interference for running time or whatever, any film that needs to be supplemented by books or comics or bubblegum wrappers to understand it hasn't done its job right.

All this extra information stuff seems to have started with The Matrix.

The Narada was five-miles long and armed to the teeth. Voyager would've been no more capable of holding off a surprise attack than the Kelvin was.

Again Nero had a over 150 year advantage in technology over the Kelvin, over Janeway he would have had a 10 year advantage and being in a mining ship probably not even that.

Yeah, take a cargo ship from today and arm it with sonar, rockets and the such and send it back 150 years, it'll still tear up the warships of the time.
 
Not that I am going to buy the comic, but Nero and V'Ger? timeline? alternate? when is V'Ger coming to Earth? will Krik have to deal with it again? and tha whale probe? my brain hurts. I'd be much happier if they just had said "it's a reboot" in the first time.

Anyone here like me, the first time I heard the word "reboot" applied to a movie it was the Incredible Hulk? After that fiasco of Ang Lee's in 2003? which has a Hulk that no smash? which starred ERIC BANA, NERO himself ? aaaauughh my poor brain
 
Janeway would find a way to restore Romulus, somehow without making it home.

In the process she would lose three ensigns but somehow not have any fewer crew members.
 
For STXIII I want politics, lots and lots of tables and negotiations interrupted by a pon farr virus that sweeps the ship. Or the quadrant. Let's aim big.
 
Zachery Quinto was explaining accurately and with precision what Pon far is to Conan O'Brien the other night on Conan.

Zack claims that he's been winking and nudging about Pon far with the producers at cocktail parties since filming began on the first movie, no luck yet, but he swears that the third movie is going to be a charm.
 
Here is a post from the "Reman Warbird Scimitar Thread from last year regarding the canon spec of the Narada. What we see in Countdown, in the film Star Trek, and what is on the special features are not all equal.

If the Narada really had Borg tech, then why is she portrayed as lacking in all the classic Borg abilities? She seems to be technologically humdrum (slow, almost unarmed), easily wounded (all ramming attacks against it are highly successful, and "shields up" or "shields down" make no difference whatsoever in combat), incapable of any visible self-repair, dependent on centralized resources, low on ammo...


I got the blu-ray special features version of the 09 movie to see all the canon abilities of the Narada. The Narada has reverse engineered Borg tech, helps grow the hull and repair the ship, and run the computer functions. The Narada is armed only with torpedos, and when Nero screamed "Fire Everything" you can count the torpedoes and see only 27 heading for the Jellyfish. The Narada is also equipped with transwarp drive, the special features claim. But nuEnterprise at warp 4 is able to catch up with the Narada as it heads for Earth after Nero destroyed Vulcan. Given the proximity of Earth and Vulcan, it's just another plot hole in the movie.

Nero wouldn't have had the clout or the time to acquire any Borg tech, either. His "decades of meticulously planning an evil scheme of revenge" came only after he had been stranded away from home base!


The special features does insert that the "simple mining vessel" was upgraded by Romulans at the secret base "The Vault", after Romulus' destruction. Going by what we see in the movie though. Spock left Vulcan, en route to Romulus was destroyed, and Nero appears in his space octopus and both are sucked into the red matter black hole. There isn't time refit a ship that fast.

Given that Zoe Saldana apparently has no problem with nudity and sex scenes, this could be quite interesting.

If they flip everything again.

T'Pring is going to have fight Uhura to the death for Spock's hand in marriage.
 
A little too coincidental if T'Pring isn't dead..

Wait. Why was T'Pau officiating at Spock's wedding again? Was she related to T'Pring?
 
The only person to ever turn down a seat on the Federation Council?

She was famous, Sarek was famous, famous people stick together.
