yep
But you can't expect them to have actually have watched that movie......

 

I like to headcanon the signs in that scene are messed up like that because the sign guy was having a bad day and got pissed with his supervisor, so deliberately made a mess of them to get back at them, thinking no one would see them because they're outside the turbolift.

What's funny is spock descends, so when he walks off, he probably got a turbolift to get ahead of kirk and bones.

 

Why should I be the only one who watched it

 

It was a comment on how the people who are writing episodes of Star Trek have obviously not watched the show or movies much and can't be bothered to do simple fact checks or do basic searches on Google. Most of the writers on the show have very few Sci writing credits most of them wrote for shows like Gilmore girls. They think they can just make things up as they go a show that's supposed to be a prequel.

 

I know brother I was just making a joke of my own

 

Wait... Does Kirk call them Marshmellons here as well? I know Spock does at the campfire, but never caught that Kirk says it here too. Haha. As many criticisms as can be aimed at Final Frontier, I do think this one gets the Kirk/Spock/McCoy dynamic perfect. Heck, I could just spend half an hour watching them around that camp fire.

And not gonna lie, it made me strangely happy to be talking about the Enterprise's lifts. Felt like talking about proper trek for the first time in quite a while.

 

McCoy called it that way I don’t think Kirby did that I would have to watch it again

And I always felt the relationship between the 3 displayed in this film Was absolutely perfect

 

In the vid posted just above, they start dropping, spock says something like too much weight and kirk says must be all those marshmellons. Unless i misheard. Could be bones, but sounded like Kirk to me. Just a funny callback I've never noticed before in the film.

 

No you’re absolutely right, I was just thinking about them around the campfire

That’s one bone says it

 

Ah, ok. I thought that was Spock at the campfire, though it has been a while since I saw Final Frontier so maybe it was Bones. Either way, someone said it.

 

Huh! I just rewatched The Price and this made me realize, the science officer lady whom Pike brought with herself is a Barzhan.
The Price (episode)
Nhan
Kinda weird, since in TNG it is established their planet is devoid of resources and they have not yet mastered manned space travel, hence why they only sent a probe through the wormhole they wanted to sell to the Federation, Chrysalians and Ferengi. So how the heck one of them is a member of Starfleet decades before TNG...

Yes, and the kids are eating them raw... Also they keep pouring out of a never-ending box. It's a joke commercial they put in after the credits, it even mentions they recommend razors for the tribbles and do not take responsibility if they reproduce in your stomach, so "chew carefully". UGH.
But yeah it is not canon, it's just a joke they threw in at the end, at least I think so.

And yeah, I know turbolifts can go horizontally and vertically - at least on TNG. Remember that episode where Geordi gets slammed against pretty much every wall on his way up to the bridge...

Thanks - that's what I thought too. This is the same nonsense as in the movies where the JJ AbramsPrise had giant tubes of... I dunno, water? With valves and rivets... all over the place, and some giant open hole that I think they only put in there so people can fall down in it. No wonder that hack went on to do Star Wars, he was basically doing SW in Trek already... which is more fantasy than sci-fi. Like instant planet to planet transports and miraculous death cures... Ugh. Glad at least that movie series is over (or I hope it is).

Heh, thanks, remember that scene. So they had proper elevator shafts in TOS already.
Honestly, if I was on this ship, and knew Turbolifts were basically coffins suspended on thin railings hanging over a giant void, I'd be like McCoy or Pulaski and refuse to step into one, rather I'd be crawling through Jeffries tubes.   I mean, these things are nightmare fuel for anyone afraid of heights AND closed spaces.

 

The same way Saru is a Starfleet officer. His was basically from a race with stone age technology, but I guess Starfleet Academy has a great remedial program or something.

 

At the campfire Spock is the one who first says marshmellon. He says to kirk and mccoy he is preparing to roast a marshmellon, as he pulls one out McCoy responds with how bout that a marshmellon. Later in the shaft when the boots cant hold all 3 kirk mentions it must be because of all those marshmellons

 

So everyone calls them marshmellons! Awesome!

 

There's no real explanation for it either. I think in the novelization it says that Bones was trolling Spock by altering the computer data on camping and Kirk just ran with it.

 

That's it exactly.

 

On Black Friday I got a roku stick and signed up for All Access; and as a fan of Star Trek I know I’m not supposed to like this show, but I find myself digging it.

 

I got a fire stick and did the same thing.....I’m on episode seven now and so far I’m not exactly hating the show

 

End of the season is when it goes off the rails and season 2 gets worse.

 

So I watched the next 2 Short Treks.
-Girl Who Made the Stars: WTF was this even. They made a CGI cartoon to tell this story? I fail to see why that was needed, this could have easily been told in live action. But the story itself had nothing to do with Star Trek, it was just an ancient tribal tale. And it irks me that a Starfleet scientist would tell his little girl a fable on how the stars were made, when we know education will teach her otherwise soon enough.
-Ephraim and Dot: Another CGI thing. I... really dunno why Starfleet would make an educational video on the tardigrade when the whole mycelial network and mycelial travel is super secret technology never to be used again. And... tardigrades are anything but docile. We seen that one they captured kill several humans and klingons. That said, the animation was pretty nice and the tardigrade was adorable. It is basically that short from WALL-E with the rail rod replacement bot, just with Star Trek.
I guess they can fly in space now somehow without propulsion, too... And I guess this took place during Kirk meeting Khan for the first time? And I guess the Enterprise had super advanced droids to protect the hull from intruders... we just never saw them. Also I guess they could never clean out all the tribbles from the ship?
Though then they also have the scene of crazy Sulu trying to attack Kirk with a sword, which surely did not happen at the same time as Khan...
Then we have a huge montage of TOS episodes like that weird horn-like super weapon, the Tholian web, that green energy hand (they met the Green Lantern corps?  )...and... giant Abe Lincoln in space? I assume that was some nonsense from the last season. Never could finish that one...

Saru is kind of a special case... But here, we see that even decades later the planet is not a part of the Federation nor do they have warp capability. Saru's people now do have it (no matter how stupid that was), or at least a race on their planet does.

Roku stick? That sounds like some tribal voodoo magic item...   What is that?
Surprised you have not yet watched the show... Weren't you commenting here before? Or maybe that was some other trek topic.
