It was a little silly, but it didn't bother me. What's really funny is that when Scotty falls to the ground, Kirk gets wet as well, but the next time we see him he's totally dry.
I thought the scene was amusing. But I like Keenser, the Brewery and that the ship is 725 meters long.![]()
The thing that bugged me about that scene was how much it felt like a copy of Star Wars - either the voyage through the Naboo core ("There's always a bigger fish") or the arena fight, or Luke on Hoth, or... It just really wasn't necessary. And frankly, the odds of Kirk and Spock Prime finding each other in that frozen wilderness, and Spock just happening to be in the cave that Kirk runs into... Yeah, that whole sequence bugs me. Even just having them meet up at the outpost instead of the cave would have helped that in my book.Really, I think if they needed to cut a scene, it would have to be the Monster Chase scene on the ice planet. That's the roll-my-eyese scene that takes me out of the movie more and more each time I see it.

718...
725 is a guesstimate from the second announcement by the company that's making the plastic model...
Why, because only Star Wars is allowed to have scenes that involve exotic yet pernicious wild animals trying to eat main characters? Because Star Trek aliens have to be subtle/slow moving menaces like shapeshifting salt vampires, blood drinking cloud creatures, rock-eating pizza creatures, six-inch psycho-parrots or twenty-foot spearchuckers that never show up on screen?The thing that bugged me about that scene was how much it felt like a copy of Star Wars - either the voyage through the Naboo core ("There's always a bigger fish") or the arena fight, or Luke on Hoth, or...Really, I think if they needed to cut a scene, it would have to be the Monster Chase scene on the ice planet.

Star Trek in general isn't necessary. We watch it because it's COOL, not because it serves any larger purpose. And I found this to be an incredibly cool scene that, ironically, answered every question I ever asked about "How can you be sure there isn't something really dangerous on this planet you just landed on?"It just really wasn't necessary.
This sounds like the perfect signature line!"Starfleet was founded to seek out new life. Well, there it sits... thinking you might be lunch!"

Yeah, because those 7 meters really make a difference on a ship that's three times the size it should be.

How far away were they from the outpost, about 10 KM or something?
So a circle with a radius of 10KM would have an area of about 314KM² or so.
How likely is it that two people-sized people would happen to find each other in a icy wasteland of 314KM² just by chance?

"The film series began with Star Wars, released on May 25, 1977"
"The original Star Trek was an American television series, created by Gene Roddenberry, which debuted in 1966"
I don't think ice planets or getting eaten on foreign planets is the exclusive domain of star wars.

Yes, they are, because pop culture identifies ice planets with Star Wars. San Francisco in the new Star Trek looks like Coruscant. That original Star Trek aired in 1969 and original Star Wars in 1977 makes no difference to that.
