Plot hole Shatty: Part 4!!!!

*reads over the prior pages*

Gentlemen, we have found Trek XII's Blue Warp Nacelles. Good job, everyone.

(Oh, and an inexplicable change in the thread title would be a continuity error, not a plot hole. Get it right, people! :rolleyes:)

Quiet you!

...Y- You're a PLOT HOLE!!!!
 
Uhura never mentions the lack of a Vulcan moon to Spock.


PLOT HOLE!!!!!!!

Pfft, the previous threads didn't get it right in the first place. Why start now?

Oh yeah, PLOT HOLE!
 
Ginormous plot hole:

Kirk doesn't screw a lady from the Kelvan Empire in the movie.
 
Most times, there are two or three years between Trek movies. There was 7 years between Nemesis and Trek '09.

PLOT HOLE!
 
Nero didn't mention the Tal Shiar or the Dominion War. Not once.


PLOT HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I actually think there's far less problems with the movie than some people like to claim. I have a different view on plot holes.

One of the things I've found out is that what plot holes are actually mistakes and most of the time minor ones. For example, the scene in ST V in the turbolift tunnel. Spock shot up over a hundred decks in that scene when the Enterprise has about 25 decks. That's just a minor mistake.

Some people would call that a plot hole. But it isn't. It is definately a mistake, although an intentional one because the director wanted it in there to give audiences a laugh.

A true plothole is an oversight that can have a direct impact on the story. If there is no explanation, that isn't a real plothole. It's just an omission.

Here's what I mean. let's take the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey. That movie has a very big plothole in it.

HAL 9000 decides to murder the astronauts. There are two of them, Bowman and Poole, who are not put into hibernation. So he decides to fake a malfunction in the ships communication dish. While outside putting the component back HAL takes command of the pod, cuts Poole's air hose so he can't get any oxygen, and shoves his body out into space.

In the movie Bowman is able to retrieve Poole's body using the other pod, then reenter the ship, and disable HALs' higher functions. Then he finds himself at Jupiter and the monolith. Because he was the first and only astronaut there, he is able to enter the monolith and merge with it becoming the Starchild we see in 2010 The Year We make Contact.

Now, here's the big plothole that could alter the entire story.

If HAL took over the first pod, there was nothing to prevent him from taking over the pod Bowman was in, and shoving him out into space. If that would've happened, the ship would have no astronauts in it and there would've been no Bowman to merge with the monolith and no Starchild.


That is an example of a real plothole. Most things people rally about don't even come anywhere near that big of a mistake. They are simple omissions. But not everything needs to be explained for if everything was explained to the detail that some people want then it would lengthen the movie.

So in short, the things that people call plot holes aren't really plot holes. They could be mistakes, but they aren't really, most of the time.
 
^Dude, you want to post that in Plot Hole City part 3, where the serious pick-every-second-of-the-movie-to-death discussion's going on. This is Plot Hole Shitty part 4. Totally different kettle of fish.

Oh, and you're 100% right:techman:
 
It's Plot Hole Shatty.

I can't keep up with you kids and your slang.

When I was your age we would answer the phone while having absolutely no idea who was calling!

Get off my lawn!
 
Plot Hole:

The nuEnterprise wasn't wearing a gigantic sombrero.

PLOT HOLE!!!
