The droid march? The podrace music? The opening battle music from EP3? Quite a few IMO.

On the airstrike point, any rationalization I can come up with fails.. because Striker Eureka uses missiles on Kaiju. The fact that they're used on Kaiju at all (Jaeger-launched) means that any rationalizations we can come up with fail. Logically, they should just use those same type of warheads on...

I think that's what they were directly implying. But whether they invented the dinosaurs or just wiped them out, 65 million years doesn't make a whole lot of sense. That's a shitload of time for a culture to exist and not have any substantial change in MO. They make Middle Earth's elves look like t...

Hey, I was just thinking - did this movie avoid the "exploding consoles of doom"? I lost track amidst the multiple hull breaches suffered by the Enterprise , but nobody seemed to get killed or injured on the bridge. Don't think so. Then again I don't think exploding consoles were really a...

And weren't they pretty much the bad guys at the end anyway?

Lilgreenman wrote:Yeah, the weirdest inconsistency of Into Darkness was the neo-DeLorean fairy dust that the warping Enterprise leaves behind. What was so wrong with the warp effect in the last movie that now we have to have blue steamers?

It was to show off the 3D effect I think.

I once saw a couple of strange, round orange lights moving over my neighborhood once--not paper lanterns as they were too fast and straight, and their light too constant. Didn't seem like any planes I've seen. I didn't immediately go 'OMGWFTALIENS', but it did weird me out at the time. Can't really ...

This movie was entertaining, but also really... well. Disjointed. Nothing really fit together. There wasn't even an overall theme. So the Mandarin was a fake. Fine. It'd be incredibly dumb if Iron Man's opponent was a freaking chinese wizard. But again, Iron Man's new enemies of choice are apparent...

Also, for all we know, it's a picture the David Warner scientist had made and put up on his blog decades after the fact. Now, as for this episode, so the villain's plan was to kill off humanity and have only the pretty survive? That seems...remarkably silly. Still, not a knock against the episode t...

Even in a perfect world (Conquest: The Movie?)...unless turbolasers bounce harmlessly off the deflectors of Trek ships, DarkStar and his minions will put up enough of a fit to doom the project. DarkStar couldn't put up enough of a fit to make anybody do much of anything as I recall. You mean to sta...

I don't disagree with him that it would be nice to have a "serious" Doctor next - maybe a McCoy type as Parallax said.

I've heard Chiwetel Ejiofor fancies taking on the role, and he might make a good choice for that.

'Gorilla warfare'? Yes, I suppose giant cyborg King Kongs thrown against ISDs would...take the Imps by surprise if nothing else.

The problem is the sheer amount of time that has passed since the OT now. If they decide to follow the RL timeline and st the sequel movies thirty-eight years after the OT, all the characters will be in their fifties and sixties. If they decide to set it after the current EU, they'll be even older ...

In all likelihood they'll just be cameos or will stick in the background as mentors. Unless Disney is going ass-backwards with this, there'll be a completely new main cast.

Either Orci or Kurtzman apparently do, since it seems they had reference to the group--or a very similar Starfleet conspiracy, at least--slipped into the IDW comic spinoffs.

Most of what I've head from this mod is that it's horrifically unbalanced.

From the dialogue, I would guess that while it isn't Khan, he's either another Augment or possibly a Section 31 creation.

Well, it sure as hell had potential as a unique flavor for Trek, one that only really came through in a handful of episodes.

You're arguing with either a troll or a racist motherfucker. In either case, you're better off just not bothering.

Maybe he was wearing a wig.

We do actually see non-clone native troops from time to time in both CW series...

For what it's worth, the Essential Guide to Warfare seems to say that the 3 million was the initial batch, and the GAR 'grew exponentially' over the course of the war.

Pretty much apples and oranges, isn't this?

Why would the humans of the SW galaxy be all over what's basically a planet in another whole universe so easily, when it's generally accepted there that Coruscant is their origin world? More likely they'd assume that Earth is home to a parallel humanity, or in some alternate realm altogether. It'd p...

Well, we saw the Enterprise rising from the sea in the trailer, so I guess it's legit.
