Star Trek rants and spoliers
SPOILER WARNING ! ! !
If you have not seen the new Trek movie and don't want some of the plot spoiled,
QUIT READING NOW ! ! !
And don't scroll down.
Okay, so I saw Trek today.
1. I loved it, total awesome from begining to end. THIS IS WHAT A SUMMER MOVIE SHOULD BE
2. I actually got a little bit of manly goosbumpy when Kirk's father dies.
3. Okay, W T F ! ! !
Vulcan is being attacked by the Romula ship/gian drill thing. There's a GIANT DRILL boring into the planet. It's a physical, metal drill that is attached to the ship and looks to be miles in length. When it fires the laser bores into the planet, for a while cutting to the planet's core.
I can handle all this, it's science fiction after all.
What I can not swallow is that the producers seem to want the audience goers to believe that the entire planet of Vulcan and it's more than 6 billion inhabitants don't have a single damn aircraft capable of attacking the drill.
Holy Shit man, one single sparrow missle from an F-14 Tomcat in 1980 would have done enough damage to break the thing off and disable it.
Not one single Vulcan aircraft ? Not a single damn land based missle ? Sorry, that's just not logical.
And the same complaint when they attack earth, but at least spock was smart enough to shoot the damn thing.
Annnnd, how the hell long was Spock on that frozen planet ? Why the fuck didn't he run his old wrinkled ass to the Federation outpost ad try to get some communication to Vulcan and give them a little warning ? (yeah yeah I know the Romulans were disrupting communications) but it seems like Old Spock was just a little too willing to sit back and watch his planet die.
And, how many Trek nerds did this movie piss off ? Sorry bos bu the show you've been dedicating the last 40 years of your lives to is no longer official canon. Ha ha.
