  Mormons with a starship?

  Do you want bugs to drop a rock on Buenos Aires? Because that's how you get bugs to drop a rock on Buenos Aires.

    It’s not exactly Mormons that you need here. Just to point out, but the bugs on that movie are completely unable to redirect a space rock in any way.

      They’ve got bugs that can shoot spaceships out of orbit with their butts. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think they could knock an asteroid out of orbit.

      Though considering your username it might be you dropping the rocks.

    In the Star Trek timeline, all Mormons left Earth on a sleeper ship for uncharted space. Over the centuries they devolved into the Pakleds. /headcanon

  Related: I just spent 2 weeks doing a fanedit of STV. I will die on the hill that the plot is good if you can get around most of the silly humor of Shatner (which obviously I removed), as well as most of the weird shit between Scotty and Uhura.

  At the core, it is a sweeping critique of religion and charlatanism. Larry Luckenbill as Sybok is one of the great performances in all of Trekdom.

      I haven’t figured out distribution yet but you can bet I’ll be sharing with the community here (even if only for discussion).

    That thing is in TOS? I really thought it was another Expanse meme.

    I would love to see what the fan edit looks like. I (re)watched it just last week and the theatrical cut is… a mess, to put it gently. There’s almost too much going on, with not enough focus on the elements that make the story tick. But there’s lots to work with here that would make a very high-production-value 50 minute Trek episode.

    Scotty and Uhura’s flirting was cute, but it doesn’t go anywhere so it’s dead weight film-wise. But without it, the characters have even less to say in an already crowded story. It’s just sad.

    One moment that stuck out to me was the bar fight. Kirk just tosses a Catian stripper, over his head, into a literal “pool” table and she’s rendered dead/unconscious floating face down in the water. Either she has bones like a baby bird or Kirk is on 'roids. I can’t make sense of that edit unless there was a longer fight that got chopped down somehow. It makes zero sense.

    Hell, I love it even with the silly humour.

    Bones’ bit with Sybok making him relive his pain is pretty beautiful.

    And then dress up as the natives and kill the next settlers that come through.

  Prolly cuz everyone on Earth got tired of their BS…like when they had to flee the US to Mexico. Hell, even one of Abe Lincolns campaign posters promised to eliminate the “twin relics of Barbarism” - slavery and polygamy.

  Been playing X3TC again and I’m noticing how this ship looks a lot like the Argon Trading Stations (or rather the other way around). Now I wonder if this was the actual inspiration for 'em.

    it's also similar to the Pirate Manticore from Escape Velocity Nova.

      Omfg EV was so good, I'd forgotten all about those games!

      I downloaded some freeware 3d rendering software to make ships for mods, learned what sprites were, and spent so much time using resedit.

      Damn that was a great series of games.
