poor worf

Those Cadet uniforms were pretty snappy. Granted it's the same color scheme DS9 ended up using, but the TNG collars were better than the turtleneck shirts. Especially when the shirts seemed to be purple for some reason.

Michael dorn does a really good mr worf impression

Hey is this the for-real-actual poster and whatnot?

Looks legit.

Basically, this is what happens when Captain Kirk gets very drunk and decides to take the Horatio Hornblower comparison a wee bit too seriously.

Star Trek: Into Darkness the sea

The trailer actually seemed to show the Enterprise crashing into the ocean, so I don't think it's 'hiding', exactly...

Edited to hide spoilers on request. Highlight above to reveal.

argh, spoiler tags!
Don't want to give away what was in the trailer lol

Fixed anyway, just in case someone complains seriously about it.

So the new movie has Cumberbatch confirmed as Gary Mitchell right because despite all the evidence I have a friend who claims he is Khan citing a vid where Quinto called Benedict Khan by mistake.

wtf? Hiding in water? Really? Crazy

Officially he's still some new dude called Anderson or something. I'd say Mitchell's as good a guess as any, though I've heard a halfway convincing amusing theory that it's actually captain April and the movie's a remake of that TAS episode where aging runs sdrawkcab.

Also the Star Trek nerd in me is obliged to point out that the Intrepid-class starship was rated for submarine duty provided the engines were suitably waterproofed

Just read that the guy who plays Bones said He's Gary.

Hiding from a primitive civilization. I hope it makes sense in context.

That makes even less sense!
Ah well, it's nuTrek, I don't expect it to make sense

Did that fact only emerge after Fluidic Space was invented?

I don't care what anyone says, 'Scorpion' was an epic two-parter and one of the best stories Voyager ever told. Fluidic space be damned.

i just felt like throwing that in there, carry on

It was promising with realizing the laws of Physics would be different, then they ignored it completely.

I'm going to not just let that slide

Scorpion was awesome and I totally agree
Fluidic space did not ruin it

Who the hell honestly complained that fluidic space of all things ruined Scorpion?

I thought the concept behind Scorpion was pretty neat. The handling of it, not so much...

Snar snar snar

That made me laugh more than I should have.

I think it came up in the one episode where they find the planetoid made completely out of water, and there's something deep in the waterball that they need, and supposedly Voyager could be made waterproof but it would take too long so let's use the Delta Flyer...


it's been years and years since I've seen that episode why in christ do I still remember that

Because it was one of the decent ones. Also, because we're nerds.

I don't see why, with SIF in play, a starship couldn't survive underwater

Not sure whether they use the standard propulsion systems or use tractor/repulsors to get around
