The Barfly

[Trekker4747]

In this movie when Kirk is trying to pick-up Uhura they both stand on either side of this long faced alien.

Sitting in a bar.

In Iowa.

On Earth.

I wonder what his story was. What brought him to freaking Iowa of all places?

He's not an alien, he's a Slipknot fan wearing a mask, and he's doing his annual pilgrimage in Iowa.

 

[SonicRanger]

Shipyard worker?

 

[Mr. Adventure]

He was Kirk's wingman.

 

[section9]

He was Kirk's wingman.

Bollocks. He's the lawyer who handled the McCoy Divorce.

 

[Nick Ryder]

He was Robau's best friend and when news that he was supposedly killed in action actually made his face go long. Or...

He got reeeeally sad when he saw how much money he could have saved if only he had Geico Classic Insurance for that classic Corvette that he loaned to Kirk's Uncle/Stepdad

Literal LOL.

 

[Peter the Younger]

I took him to be an homage to Morn (whom they probably couldn't use because some writer would have to be paid royalties if they did.)

To me, it look like he wanted a drink.

 

[Jedi Marso]

I'm sure someone will turn that small cameo into a full length novel at some point. It's the Trek Way.

Star Trek: Tales from Some Random Bar in Riverside, Iowa

 

[The Wormhole]

I'm sure someone will turn that small cameo into a full length novel at some point. It's the Trek Way.

As opposed to the Star Wars way where meaningless background extras get action figures and a comic book series?

Was even Trek ever this bad?

 

[Middle Earther]

He reminded me a little of Mickey Rourke in Sin City. Anybody else get that impression?

 

[adamisme]

he was the Morn of the 23rd Century, alway there but never speaking

 

[All Seeing Eye]

Yeh I assumed it was a Morn tribute too, although if they had actually used Morn to sit there it would have been the most awesome scene in the film.

I'd say 'exactly like the SW way where meaningless background extras get action figures and a comic book series' instead of 'as opposed to.'

 

[Mr. Adventure]

What would his Star Wars Action Figure name be? I like Longface Bukowski myself.

 

[Jeri]

That dude was boisterously expressive compared to Morn. He was really into Uhura; that was obvious.

P.S. He's a brewmaster at the ship yard.

I loved how he kind of rolled his eyes at Kirk's advances.

(Without actually rolling them. )
