What tropes in science fiction annoy you?

If you want to talk about bad guys and delays then what the hell had Nero been doing for 25 years!!! He doesn't strike me as the discreet quiet type.
 
I don't get it. Are you saying that he was hiding in a Klingon penal colony?

There was a deleted scene from ST09 which showed Nero and his crew being imprisoned at Rura Penthe (and Nero's subsequent interrogation) after their capture by the Klingons. It took Nero 25 years to escape and get his ship back.
 
I really think deleting that was a big mistake, they created a bit of a plothole without it.

Ooh good one. Yeah always wondered what the bad guys actually do during the delay.


In 2012s Go-buster series the formation had an energy shield to prevent the enemy from interrupting the formation

I sometimes think the stock footage formation is just for viewers convenience.

In the show the formations are the blink of an eye

I am surprised the Klingons didn't dismantle Nero's ship then. Plus how was he able to hide a big ass ship like that (Enterprise looks like a shit fly in comparison) while he was serving for 25 years on RP. That guy is one resilient sob given that the Klingons themselves say that the average life expectancy on this rock is about one year.
 
Well, there was a "Klingon prison planet" mentioned in the film. Seems obvious it was Rura Penthe. How many prison planets do the Klingons have? :lol:

As for why the Klingons didn't raid the Narada and take it apart: Maybe it had self-defense mechanisms. :shrug: Although I suppose they could have just scanned it, like the crew of the Kelvin must have done.
 
Well then, in this case, deleted scenes are canon. ;)

It's not canon, but they did do a Nero comic (the link leads to the digital comic, but there was also a physical release) that also helped to explain a lot of this stuff. I tend to just accept all of this kind of stuff myself if it isn't specifically contradicted by something else, but I know some people are picky about this kind of thing.
 
Unique ways a ship is captured.

Wasn't there an episode of TOS where the Enterprise was literally shrunk down and put on a table and Kirk walking around the ship and from the inside you could see him on the viewscreen only everyone inside was frozen.

It was never ever done again in any show or series.

Didn't Q turn Voyager into a Christmas ornament once? My memory is fuzzy.
 
He did indeed, in his first apperance on that show. He even looked in at the crew through the viewscreen the same way Kirk did in "Reqiuem For Methuselah".


Thank you for the TOS episode title. I was trying to remember it.

Wouldn't Voyager and Enterprise weigh the same regardless of size?
