I confess that for years I thought "The Galileo Seven" referred to the name and number of the shuttle, not the number of passengers!
Well it's both, isn't it? Clever title that way. I always got it.

Nobody in the 2250s would be equipping an outpost with technology that was already out of date by the 2030s.That may have been the point. That outpost wasn't exactly a desired posting.In Star Trek 2009, the remote outpost they find Scotty in has flickering neon tubes and TFT displays. I expected something more advanced than that, considering what we're shown throughout the rest of the film and what technology is already existing.
Well, they DID use a brewery for engineering...That may have been the point.

Maybe the outpost was deactivated over a century before and was hardly up to date even then, but when Starfleet Admiralty was looking for a nice little shit assignment for Scotty, someone had the bright idea to send him to delta vega as a "caretaker" for the facility.Nobody in the 2250s would be equipping an outpost with technology that was already out of date by the 2030s.
But not a very good one. He ain't found shit!I just recently found out that Tuvok was once a desert-combing Spaceball.
Yeah, that's bugged me a little since day one. Scotty was the one that broke the camel's back. A disgraced officer sent to a distant outpost as punishment, he just shows up with a cadet who was kicked off the ship, ignores a direct order from a superior officer, then dries off and puts on a uniform to become chief engineer. Whaaaaat? It makes Kirk becoming captain so quickly look almost like a sane decision by comparison.That until "Honest Trailers" pointed it out...only Chekov and Spock are where they're supposed to be.
"The state of being out of favor" isn't really an overstatement of where he was at that point, in my opinion."Disgraced" is a bit of an overstatement. He made a mistake and got punished.
Disgraced is a pretty load term. It implies more than a punishment assignment for using an Admiral's dog in an experiment gone awry."The state of being out of favor" isn't really an overstatement of where he was at that point, in my opinion."Disgraced" is a bit of an overstatement. He made a mistake and got punished.
Scotty's integration would have been so incredibly easy. Also Old Spock's passiveness, and a lot of contrivances from the middle part of the film...Yeah, that's bugged me a little since day one.
