Caltrops - Peter Molyneux's The Movies





	[quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="Creexuls, a monster >:3"][quote name="laudablepuss"]"Do we have power for phasers?" "A few short sir!" "Not enough against their shields." "Sulu, get those shields up!" "Trying sir." "We daren't follow them into the nebula. Our shields would be useless." "Our shields are collapsing, captain!" "Problem with the nebula sir, is all of that discharging gas clouds tactical and shields will be inoperative." -- I forget how she worded that one exactly. Also, three or four closeups of the control panel showing shields going up or going down..[/quote] And how <b>exactly</b> does this compare to hours and hours of pointless technobabble about the various percentages of shields and how they need to reroute various power supplies to various parts of the shields over and over? The answer is it doesn't, because in Star Trek 2 the <b>mentioning</b> of shields involved the plot and events of the story, and in the objectively bad Nemesis movie it isn't related to anything in the movie, and in fact turns the entire movie into an average Voyager episode. You've made like 3 posts about this and haven't even mentioned this stuff yet, it's like you're either avoiding it or you don't know about it(!!!!!!!!!!).[/quote] I know, it's amazing you haven't figured this out on your own. Here you go, Creex: you can't have a Star Trek spaceship battle without talking about shields. It's one of three things that you absolutely cannot avoid talking about. Did they talk about it too much? Shit I dunno. Half the movie was a space battle. Same with Khan. There are still more lines that I'm remembering about shields in WoK. If this is the reason you hate Nemesis, then why do you like ANY Star Trek? The difference between WoK and Nemesis here is that by that time, TNG and other series had established this transferring of power from engines to hull integrity, or shields, or phasers, or whatever a lot more than previously. It was related to the plot still because the plot WAS A BIG SPACE BATTLE. For the record, I hated Voyager, and I agree with you on DS9.[/quote]
