Star Trek V reference in TNG

[Burning Hearts of Qo'nos]

Considering that the Romulans went into isolation for 70 years, and the Klingons never really made peace with the Federation until after the Ent-C was destroyed in 2344, I'd say that Nimbus III was a resounding failure.

Good to know STV continues to disappoint well into the 24th Century.

I'm pretty sure the point was that Nimbus III was a resounding failure in the 23rd century too.

But they're dead.

When has that ever stopped Star Trek?

But the Enterprise-A never had a system-wide technological failure, at least from what we saw in STV. The ship was having problems but it was still functional. The Excelsior, on the other hand, was dead in space.

I wasn't really making the argument myself. I was just relating what the ST Chronology said.

always surprised the later TNG eps didn't do a sequel ep to Trek V or TMP - the way they mustve been scrapping around for ideas (Robin Hood/Holodeck goes wrong again/Worfs kid) ud think Piller or Branga would've gone 'hey why don't we bring back Sybok for an ep? or Decker? (its not like either actors would've turned it down)

I don't think that anyone was exactly clamoring to see either of those guys again.

Good to know STV continues to disappoint well into the 24th Century.

With Nimbus III a failure, the Enterprise on the fritz (including a portable log entry??? good thing the shuttles didn't break down either!), and Starfleet not being able to find any other ships with "experienced commanders" (wouldn't you just assign Kirk to one of those working ships?), I think Shatner's basically laying out that by 2287 everyone in the galaxy had become incompetent.

And it all ends with people getting drunk AF, whether at Kirk's Ten Forward or camping at Yosemite. When in doubt, booze it up.

All this TFF talk makes me wanna watch TFF this weekend. It's honestly one of my most guiltiest of pleasures; I usually watch it at Christmas haha.

And the portable log recorder not working properly is one of my favorite stupid gags of the film! It's as absurd as the Klingon dictionaries in TUC.
