A design flaw limited to the first models at that. Later models and upgrade fixed the problem.

What's next, the Scimitar being replaced by the Klingon Bird or Prey from ST:VI?

Agreed. Sela would have made this a far more personal battle.

Quiet you! :D

Yea well I always assumed it was a general Idea it was all fed ships were made out to be like this.

In the eyes of the Non trek side.

Sorry it has been a good long time since I actually debated ST vs SW so I am probally outdated.

Forget my Sela post. I just saw some stuff on a website that sort of explained Shinzon's purpose but posting here would be posting spoilers.

Hm I just thought this about the even/odd Star Trek sequel curse...

Anyone else thinks that they make odd movies crappy on purpose, so that all even movies will always be great by comparison?

Actually they did when the 2 Son'a ships were chasing the E-E the E-E fired a QT from its rear launcher at the pursuing Son'a vessels.

Incorrect. It fired 2 photon torpedoes from its aft launcher.

Exactly, They didn't look like Q torps at all!! then Again that also could be attributed to crappy Special Effects.

Unlikely given that we see the E-E fire photons from this very same launcher in Nemesis.

Alyeska, you too...

No, I mean the Torps looked shitty compared to FC, as for Nemesis I thought those were pulse Phasers.

Actually, if you think about it, why would a solid object (A photon/quatum torpedo) look like a ball of light? I think the new look in Nemesis portrays the torpedoes in a more realistic manner.

I'm pretty sure that the reason they cloned picard is some sort of psychic connection. Thats what Shinzon implies, that he sees exactly what picard sees. Tho, it should be noted, that Shinzon seems to be little more then a slave to the Remans. I can well guess that at some point Shinzon will turn good but not soon before dying.

It was totally a new writer who wrote Nemesis so B&B probably didn't have much to say about it.

Agreed. Sela would have made this a far more personal battle.
And made the WOK ripof even more transparent.

It has explosions in space. I'll see it.

Really. WOK involved the Romulans, a cloaking ship, a ship that was vastly more powerful then the Enterprise. It inolved the daughter of a former Enterprise crew member. It involved finding an android?

Usually, I know a lot of thebackgorun characters in Trek, but who is Admiral Sela and what episode was he/she in?

I feel guilty for having a look at the vide clip, I didn't do that for AOTC, because I didn't want to spoil the movie for myself.

She is Tasha Yar's daughter who just happens to be half Romulan.

Sela is a Alternate Timeline daughter of Tasha Yar who was sent back in time by alternate picard on the Enterprise-C.

Oh, ok, thanks for the info.

Now that I have a had a look at the Remans, I am going to hope that Romulans will eventually offer them good Dentists instead of British ones. :lol:

I must say, Nemisis looks as if it just might be a good movie. Now as long as I see a fleet battle I will be happy. :D
