RKMBs Forums .::Robegories::. Media Star Trek is crap

The show was never really popular here, so a small part of me always felt like I've been missing out. But I was just looking at some clips in Youtube, and it's all just boring crap isn't it?

Mariachis? In space? Really?

Star Trek is the

How the fuck did this show stay on the air for so long? And people make conventions for this?

you need to see Star trek V the final frointer

for the ultimate in crap.



Following the events of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, the crew of the USS Enterprise-A is enjoying some well deserved shore leave. The newly christened starship's shakedown cruise goes poorly and it is in Earth Spacedock for repairs. In Yosemite, Captain James T. Kirk faces two challenges: climbing El Capitan, and teaching camp fire songs to Captain Spock. Unfortunately, their rest is interrupted when the crew is sent on an urgent mission to rescue hostages on the desolate planet of Nimbus III.

A brash young Klingon commander named Klaa learns of the Enterprise's mission and pursues in an attempt to capture or kill Kirk. His actions are not authorized by the Klingon government, however, and he takes this quest merely to obtain personal prestige as a warrior, and is bored by his mundane assignment of neutralizing alien probes that land in Klingon Space.

Upon their arrival at Nimbus III, the Enterprise crew discovers that a renegade Vulcan named Sybok, the emotionally driven half-brother of Spock, has taken Klingon, Romulan, and Federation representatives hostage. Sybok reveals that he used the hostage situation as a ruse in order to obtain a starship, being sure the government of one of the hostages (Federation, Klingon, and Romulan) would mount a rescue mission.

Sybok uses his unique ability to share with and help conquer a person's greatest emotional trauma to gain the trust of most of the crew. McCoy accepts the experience, reliving his father's death (he euthanized his father to end his pain, but learned afterwards that a cure had been developed a short time later). Spock also accepts the experience, reliving his birth (being half bred of Vulcan and Human, he was never fully accepted by his father). However, Kirk denies Sybok, telling him that the pain experience is what makes them Human.

Sybok then seizes control of the Enterprise, so he can reach a mythical planet named Sha Ka Ree, where a mysterious, presumably God-like entity awaits. Sybok claims to have had visions from the entity of its existence, and feels compelled to follow those visions in order to experience the entity's possible wisdom and power first-hand. However, the planet is somewhere behind The Great Barrier, a mysterious region of space that has been walled-off from exploration since time immemorial and that has never been breached (this is the "final frontier" of the title).

Under agreement and cooperation (as long as he plays it by the book), Sybok relinquishes the helm back to Kirk, and the Enterprise successfully crosses the Great Barrier, finding a planet in this uncharted region of space. Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Sybok explore the planet, which seems completely barren until a strange outcropping of rocks rises from the ground in front of them and an entity appears to them. Masquerading as God, the entity asks the explorers how they got there. When told about the Enterprise, it demands passage aboard the ship in order to leave both the planet and the Great Barrier and to spread his knowledge to the rest of the Universe. When the skeptical Kirk questions the entity's motivation ("What does God need with a starship?"), it turns malevolent, harming Kirk. McCoy and Spock rush to his rescue, and even Spock has to ask for an answer to the question. Sybok then realizes that the alien entity is actually the manifestation of his own arrogance, seeking to escape the Great Barrier.

Realizing his mistake, Sybok sacrifices himself to delay the evil being long enough for Enterprise to launch a torpedo. However, while Sybok is killed, the entity isn't, and the Enterprise has enough power to beam up two people. Kirk tells Scotty to take Spock and McCoy, leaving himself on the surface of the planet with the entity. Spock is able to convince the Klingon ambassador to order Klaa (who followed the Enterprise into the Barrier and to the planet) to rescue Kirk rather than kill him. Klaa's Bird of Prey suddenly de-cloaks and destroys the alien with a disruptor blast. Kirk is beamed aboard, where the Klingon ambassador insists upon an apology from Klaa himself, who begrudgingly does so, and admits that his attack on the Enterprise was not authorized by the Klingon government. The gunner who shot the entity was none other than Spock. The crews of both vessels and Sybok's captives enjoy a peaceful celebration of their newfound détente. The film ends with Kirk, McCoy, and Spock resuming their vacation in Yosemite National Park.

the film you just posted about never happened. it does not exist. there is no star trek V. it went from IV directly to VI.

I was unfortunate enough to see Star Trek V in theaters. It was a double-feature running that along with The Karate Kid III. Apparently, the theater owners were going to throw in Pink Cadillac as well, but fears of in-theatre suicides put the kibosh on that.

How not to get laid 101:

This is obviously a fake quote. King Snarf never has girlfriends, old OR new. There's a whole thread devoted to that. Pay attention, Sikkbones!

the only girl snarf ever tried to fuck reminded him of his sister.

He would have prefered someone who looks like his brother

Dude, it was '89. I was 11. I didn't even know what getting laid WAS back then. In fact, I'm still somewhat fuzzy on the subject. I'm not fuzzy on my head, however, because I am bald.

I already knew how to get laid when I was 8. It was very easy, all you need to do was accept the ice cream cone from G-man.

mxy. watch the movies (2-4,6 and first contact) the shows, to me, were very hit or miss but i found those movies very enjoyable

dad, please don't forget that we don't acknowledge the opinion of black people.

now lets not discuss this any further before certain posters return from the grave...

and dont accept the ice cream!

you forgot that youre black you self-hating motherfucker!

he does own the spock ears however.

You are gay, just accept it.

Don't speak to me of numbers. I think I've seen 2 (Khan!), the one with the whales (snore), the one with the invisible Klingon bird of prey (can't have been good because I don't remember much else about it), the one where Kirk and Picard meet (schmaltz) and Kirk dies (spoilers), and the one with the Borg. I hadn't heard of the Borg before and I thought this was actually half-decent.

The old series with Kirk was fun if silly. The series with Picard was very much like contemporary comics - unintelligible unless you watched every show.

The one with the whale (IV) is the only one I enjoyed, mainly cause I thought it was a comedy!
The rest are pure gayness!

yeah?

It was an environmentalist wankfest.

Who would have thought the sweet sound of whalesong could save humanity from future evil alien probes?

Who cares about all that shit?
The Nuclear Wessels was comedy gold!

That Chekov always was a card.

that script would be a smash hit today if they'd just mention that the whales all died because of GLOBAL WARMING!

Next thing that'll happen is Al Gore claiming he wrote it.
