"I swear, it's not that ridiculous all the time..."

During TNG S1E4 Code of honor: "Yeah, it looks bad, but there's an important progressive message in there somewhere."

Enterprise pilot episode: "Ok, so Rick Burman had a bit of a horny streak, but it gets better."

"Ok, let's try another TNG episode then. Ooh look, this one is about a ghost!"

"Okay, fine. I'll try a movie. This one looks okay. Wait. Why are they in San Francisco? Why are they... are they stealing a fucking whale?"

I can't go to San Francisco without thinking about the nuclear wessels. My husband is legitimately worried that I'll start asking random strangers about them.

Actually - considering the amount of unsolicited (and invariably wrong) advice we got from SF locals who saw us looking at transit maps and butted in to offer some friendly assistance... I may just do that at the next visit.

"Are you looking for Fisherman's Warf?"
"No."
"It's just down that way!" \
~~"I think we're good! Thanks for the help!"~~
"Actually, we're looking for nuclear wessels. Do you know where I can find nuclear wessels?"

\ He's right to be worried.

One of the first things I'd want to see in SF is the future site of Starfleet Academy.

Judging by most of the shots, it will be where Fort Baker is now, in Marin.

Yeah but they'd know.

Anyways, the ghost fleet is parked across the bay I believe.

Oh I'm not saying it isn't. Just going with the trope of "Star Trek is deep!" and then seeing something ridiculous. Wonderfully ridiculous, but ridiculous.

thats actually my most rewatched Star Trek movie, its maybe not the "best" but its the funnest to watch.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd say it's the best. None of the other ones are at the top of their genres as far as action or dramatic sci-fi goes, but Star Trek IV is right up there with the best sci-fi comedies of all time.

Wait not startrek V?

I remember 10 year old me trying to get my friend to watch it. Oh boy, lol

What if he invented the thing?

Try recognizing the SF of 1986 compared to SF of 2023.

Fair enough. Also, love the username. Beside the song itself, I'm always reminded of Gentlemen Broncos. Weird, great movie.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gentlemen Broncos is such an underrated gem.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Gentlemen Broncos

Thanks guys! Had not heard of that one.

So has Gene Roddenberry.

John Norman has been cranking it in the chat for hours.

Star Trek was always horny.
