yeah it's one of those ships with the regular saucer, the engineering section on top, and one ample nacelle stuck on the bottom

maybe elevators going down is just more cinematic

[CaptHawkeye]

The captain takes a turbolift down...to go to a shuttlebay...above the bridge?

[starku]

Should install rollercoaster track out top of bridge

[Veef]

it's one of these ships

[Stofsk]

for all you know he took the turbolift to the transporter room so that he could be transported to the shuttlebay

8-)

[starku]

The tactual rollercoSter track would improve observation of the enemy at a low, low cost

Also good for women with babies

looking at the design of the kelvin i can sorta see how that would work

you can't have the turbolift going straight there thanks to structural reasons

[uraniun235]

wait wait wait wait

so i don't remember the movie, help me out


are you describing a scene wherein we see the turbolift go down from the bridge? or one where we see a turbolift descend into the shuttlebay?


because the former makes sense. it's at the top of the saucer. you have to go down before you can go across and back up again.

the latter... doesn't make as much sense.

I highlighted the requirement for an external track over breakfast

Take your petty squabbles elsewhere at once!!!!!!

ok lemme call up the .AVI movie

Captain the Mummy walks out of the bridge (which is clearly in the middle of the saucer) and says "hay george dee kirk ur captain"

gets into turbo lift. door closes

cut to turbo lift going down

gets out. walks up a short flight of stairs in beer factory then goes down corridor to shuttle

I'll say it, I like that ship.

well there's a long 'walking places through venting steam' montage

Considering that the ship was full of holes and had chunks of hull missing maybe he had to take a detour because the trubos were busted or the normal route to the shuttlebay was open to space?

maybe he just likes to make a dramatic entrance

[timmy]

I LIKE THE WAY BBBBBBBOUNTY THINKS

plz don't mock my ideas on spatial arrangements

i did centroids in college ;-;

So I watched ST2 - ST6 in the past few days. No TMP, though. I would say it's because I hate the uniforms and could never get past that, but really it's because HBO wasn't airing it alongside the others for whatever reason. Cinemax was, but I don't subscribe to them.

Anyway, 3 and 5 weren't really as bad as I had been led to believe. A little boring maybe? Okay, sure. But I'll be honest, I wasn't exactly blown away by TWoK, and people hail that as the greatest TOS movie ever.

And 4 is totally a Captain Planet episode, but with the TOS cast and a bigger budget.

Personally, my favorite was probably 6, although General Chang did get pretty goofy by spouting off those quotes to Kirk endlessly. I did like McCoy wondering when he'd shut up, though. That was boss.

[Aaron]

Well all the good ones after 2 flow from it.

[starku]

none of them are really good movies, though, and some aren't even good stand-alone stories

i mean i'd rather watch a new movie or brand that i have no idea about than re-watch any star trek movie

but then my brain isn't set to 'star trek fan' with the knob broken off so....

I actually liked TMP, but I suspect I'm in the minority.
