Ohhhh yeah.
Now at the risk of getting a bust in the chops from some fans:
Wrath of Khan is a great film but there was a glaring plot flaw / glaring inconsistency that I am sure that all Trekkies spotted it the first time we saw the film. Funny but I find very few fans who mention or even talk of it but there it is in the most perfect and the most beloved of the Trek films. I am sure that Roddenberry complained at the time thatt the writers tried to sneak one past us. I doubt it escaped but fans never mention it. I want to be the first...
When Khan captures Chekov and Terrell, he says to Terrell, "I don't know you," then to Chekov, "I never forget a face Mr. Chekov".
As most fans know "Space Seed" aired in Season I....Ensign Chekov did not join the crew until Season II ...
I will try to catch it! I love Benedict.
I happen to believe it. After all, Chekov being in the restroom all of season one explains why we never saw him, because we never saw a restroom.
You guys are right. With over 400 crew members, Chekov could have been on any other level or deck in Season 1 and was later moved to bridge as helmsman. He may have supervised the security detail that was in charge of Khan prior to exile.
Seeing the high mortality of "red shirts" he switched his specialty and moved to his new post on the bridge by Season 2...
And plus Into Darkness has Chekov in a red shirt.
I'll see it on DVD.
Sadly, I had to look at this picture twice to see what was wrong.
Did 'In To Darkness' have more, less or the same amount of action as the previous entry?
It had less action in it. More focus on story. But what Action there is, is exhilarating.
Well without spoiling anything for you, I can tell you. To me ST: Into Darkness felt like a classic TOS episode.
I found it a cute little nod that one of the first things
Of course if you're not familiar with The Wrath of Khan then the big reveal and reference twists are lost on you. If you are familiar with the original then you might ask yourself why didn't the writers come up with something new. I thought the whole purpose of the reboot was to get out from under the weight of canon and do something fresh, but instead it just cribbed heavily from the Wrath of Khan in the 3rd Act but without the emotional punch that movie packed.
Let's hope the next one goes somewhere more interesting, though sadly we'll have a long wait if JJ wants to be in the director's chair again. Live long and prosper.
I think he'll have time to fit it in afterwards.
But if he makes an amazing job of Episode VII? Then surely Disney won't wanna let him go will they?
