    Who would have guessed an article that tells you the plot of a movie would contain spoilers? Luckily TFA has so many spoiler warnings that I gave up reading before I got to any mention of the plot.

  2. Hypocrisy! by Greatmoose · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So the author starts off the article by lambasting those who don't know the original series, and then proceeds to spend the majority of the article rehashing the "City on the Edge of Forever" episode and the Kobyashi Maru scenario. Oh, and has a few sentences thrown in about the new movie. Man, that was bad.

  3. More time travel? DO NOT WANT! by bckrispi · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Out of the 10 current films, three of them involve time travel with the intent of changing the present. Are the writers so bereft of fresh ideas that they need to go back to this stale premise again??? Gahh! Jar Jar was annoying, but at least he was original.

    Don't get me wrong, I'll still pay to go see it and drag my wife along kicking and screaming to see it with me.

    SCORE!!!

    No matter what crap they produce, just stamp "Star Trek" on it and they've sold tickets.

    They won't stop producing crap until you stop paying them for the crap.

    It's got time travel in it. It's 100% guaranteed to suck. That's why they had to include baby Spock ..... better include Big Spock just to make sure. Yeah, that will sell tickets. No matter how bad.

    The PROBLEM is that time travel does NOT change the present. They heroes fix the problem in the past and the present is the present again.

    There's nothing moving FORWARD. There is no development or change. The entire movie could just as well never have happened.

    So long as they do not have them all in the same year at the Academy or even all at the Academy at the same time. If they have Kirk and Chekov or even Sulu in the Academy at the same time I am waking out of the theater.

    And time travel is handled so poorly. In the TOS episode they had to go back and find out what happened, so it makes since for them to go back and figure it out.

    In the movie plot however, Spocks knows what the Romulan's plan is, so he could just go back in time right before the Romulan tries to go back in time and kill him there couldn't he? He knows where and when he will be, but instead chases him some place where he has trouble finding him.

    Same with the Generations movie plot. If Picard and Kirk could come out of the ribbon at whatever time they wanted, they could have chosen a better time and place.

    In First Contact, the Borg could have time traveled in secret, not in the middle of a big battle where someone might figure out what they were doing. They could also keep trying until they got it right - they still had the knowledge of how to do it even if that one ship was destroyed.

    I don't remember much about the save the whales movie.
