The Narada during Nero's impisonment?
- Thread starter Roald
- Start date
In the movie, there was no imprisonment that we'd know of...
In the comic, this wasn't explained - but supposedly the ship was too shot to hell to be of any worth to anybody. Except that the Borg technology repaired the ship while it was sitting on a Klingon junk orbit...

The Klingons impounded it at Rura Penthe. You know, because Nero could some day escape, and if he did he would want his old ship back.
Fuck this movie was stupid.
Or you could read the Nero comic book where the Borg technology somehow asserts control of Narada, attacks Rura Penthe so Nero and gang can escape, and then goes on a spiritual quest to the Delta Quadrant and finds V'Ger.
Seriously, that's what happens.

Nero was never in prison, that was a deleted scene. Just like Martin Madden is not the first officer of the Enterprise-E and Saavik is not half-Romulan.

According to what we saw in the movie, Nero and his crew apparently just "waited" for 25 years. There's no mention of imprisonment by the Klingons, or any other kind of imprisonment. The only indication we have that anything at all happened were the scars on Nero's head and his chewed up ear. How did that happen? I have no freaking idea. As far as we know from the events and dialogue depicted on screen, Nero and his crew must have either wandered the quadrant killing time or found a nice little planet somewhere to kill time for 25 years waiting for Spock.
Now, my "special" Zim-Cut of the movie shows the Narada being captured by the Klingons after the Kelvin's fatal encounter as well as Nero's interogation at the hands of the Klingons at Rura Penthe. Unfortunately, the Zim-Cut isn's available to the general public. So it really doesn't matter.
As for the ship going on a "spiritual quest" to find V'Ger??? WTF??? I'm glad I didn't read the comics.
Maybe Abrams realized how stupid that was, and that's why the scene was cut, eh?
And who gives a crap about what happens in a non-canon comic?
Cause it makes more sense than this movie did.
Actually, I see no reason why Martin Madden can't be the first officer of the Enterprise E. With Riker and Data gone, someone has to fill the position.

So instead we have Nero sitting idle for 25 years, despite the fact that he had the most powerful ship around and could have launched an orbital assault on Earth and Vulcan. That's equally as stupid.
Just imagine how much better this movie could have been if some thought were put into it.
The movie made it perfectly clear why he was waiting 25 years. Did you not understand the whole "I'm waiting for Spock to arrive before I start doing nasty shit" thing? Maybe you think it's stupid, but you're not Nero.
Go ahead and bitch about how the movie doesn't make sense. Keep bitching about how stupid it was. I really don't give a shit. I loved it. And it was a success. And it renewed interest in a dead franchise. And that's something you can't argue about.

Nobody on this particular thread topic, you mean.
I really didn't.
That perhaps the most flattering thing anyone on this forum has ever said about me. Thank you.
Okay. [Insert rant here bitching about Trek XI with accusations of childhood being raped and complaints about how cold it is in my parents basement.]
Well, who's fault is that?
I wasn't complementing you (or criticizing you either), but if that's how you want to take it, feel free.
Don't forget your inane bitching about zeros.
AFAIK, in the film, Uhura says that there was a transmission intercepted from a Klingon prison planet.
True, but that doesn't mean that Nero was actually a prisoner there.
It doesn't have to be shown for it to have happened if you're going by that.
Well, a dead franchise and what we have now isn't really all that different. A TV episode every week for a whole season compared to two and a half hours every three years is hardly what I would call an improvement. I don't think your idea of renewed interest is going to get you or this series any further than a typical action piece that was Trek09.
If this is all that you love, then that's all we're ever going to get. And everything that's been done in this movie has been done before, and done waaaay better. No amount of added Nero Imprisonment will change that.
I'm still figuring out the possible alien looking worlds from classic Trek that JJ will most likely change to make them look more like Earth the way he did Vulcan. If there's one thing you can't convince him to do is make anything look alien. He'll probably turn the Horta into a human wearing a dirty sleeping bag, a Gorn with human facial features (Oh! He did that already) and have those cool heads of the Tholians turn out to be helmets worn by humans. What else do you expect from a guy who won't make up his mind on whether Klingons have ridges or not?
I thought the implication was clear. If Nero's crew were at Rura Penthe, then so was he - there's no way he'd abandon them. The Narada was crippled, anyway, so he couldn't have done so even if he wanted.Similar threads
