Star Trek Movie Not To Be Missed

[JALU3]

...Star Trek Movie

- A single drop of red matter can destroy a sun or a planet, and create a black hole through time and space no one can escape from. A whole beach ball of it can destroy a starship and create a black hole, easily escaped from with a few explosions. Maybe a shipload of it would have created a pretty firework.

- There is no need for an universal translator, as the entire universe has learned to speak flawless English. Either that, or the universal translator has not been programmed to cope with russian accent.

- Cheating an exam and illegally boarding a starship is okay if you can subsequently identify a trap, and it will get you an acting first officer rank. Some nerds just bother themselves with graduating from Starfleet Academy and serving some time as enseigns...

- Nokia phones are still used in the 23rd century and still use the same ringtone. They probably have changed their motto to "Connecting lifeforms", though.

- When dealing with an unruly crewmember, drop him on the nearest monster-infested planet. If he survives, he can then be made captain. This is Starfleet implementation of Darwin theories.

- Vulcans being portrayed as self-righteous and intolerant jerks is completely okay, as long as it happens in a story Braga and Bermann had nothing to do with.

- Lighting storms are the telltale sign of a Romulan trap. And all this time we were fussing about detecting cloaking devices and scanning subspace transmissions...

- The destruction of a single ship is enough to alter the timeline so that 25 years later people invented transporters with a light-year range, made contact with the Romulans and Cardassians, and could reach Vulcan in a few hours at warp 4. Maybe Starfleet should implement destroying a few starships from time to time as a policy in order to jumpstart its development.

- There is no sound in space. Someone finally told them.

- Forget the holodeck, the Enterprise is now outfitted with a giant waterslide in engineering. Now we know how Scotty used the time he gained by exaggerating his repair times.

And here are ten more:

- Exposition is always better when the person giving it is an attractive female who just happens to be undressing at the same time.

- Star Trek is now just like D&D - all adventures begin in a tavern after the obligatory barroom brawl. This movie even had random encounters and a dungeon crawl.

- If you are going to cheat on an exam you might as well violate the "no eating in the simulator" rule while you're at it.

- If your homeworld is about to be destroyed you apparently need to rescue all the old people who probably can't have kids to save your civilization, because it's the logical thing to do.

- In the future old people aren't allowed on starships, they just get in the way.

- At Starfleet Academy it is completely acceptable for a cadet to have a relationship with an instructor, but don't even think about messing with that instructor's simulation or you are in for a world of trouble.

- If you bring a sword you will always get a chance to use it, but if you bring a phaser it probably is going to get knocked from your hand.

- To promote better linguistic skills among the crew in Starfleet you have the guy whose accent the computer can't recognize do the ship wide announcements with critical instructions for the crew.

- Don't wait till after the birth of your child to pick a name. You never know if you might be rushed into a bad decision by an attack by disgruntled miners from the future.

- Never, never try to get an emotional reaction from the halfbreed, because there's a reason he's trying to hold it together. If you do get a reaction, then get ready for your face to be rearranged into a bloody smear.
