When Kirk blows up the Enterprise... I STILL get teary eyed! So sad to see an old "Friend" passing like that. But Bones was right. He did what he HAD to do to survive!
They won't... ST 3 came out 10 years before a lot of those writers were born! Anything pre-2010, it too old for these guys. I'm amazed at the arrogance of people who refuse to do BASIC research before they write for TV series that have established canon.
If they'd left it in as a stolen Romulan ship, any future uses of the model would be for Romulan-based stories. That would have changed the fifth film (maybe a good thing) but also the sixth film, TNG, DS9 and Generations. I don't think the bird of prey ever appeared in Voyager though.
3:30 Star Trek Federation Realistically is NASA or SpaceX, as if We had Multiple Organizations or Kinds of Space Ships ! imo One can imagine with that "Space Force" Branch, if that would eventually become Interstellar Shipping XD but NOT Just Military Space ships is What I'm Saying
What a shocker, Paramount skimped on paying as much for the making of documentaries for III vs II. Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to shoot this quasi-handheld with poor lighting, and to not put any effort into more cutaways when these wonderful artists are explaining things like the motion control process? Paramount cheaped out on these releases over and over.
Actually, that particular drawing of a new Starship Enterprise was one Ralph McQuarrie ( _Star Wars_ ) and Ken Adam ( _James Bond_ ) put together for a planned movie in the 1970s called _Star Trek: Planet of the Titans_ which evolved into the planned TV series _Star Trek: Phase II_ and later into _Star Trek: The Motion Picture_ if I remember right.
@Mike DeMarco While I am certainly no astrophysicist, I'm inclined to disagree. Gravity is what puts stress on anything, especially when it is mechanically connected together. Without gravity, there is no stress. Without gravity, there is no force, no resistance. Nothing pushing, nor pulling. So, should it make any difference whether or not the ship moves? How can a ship NOT fly apart at warp speed? Then again, I may be WAY off. Thanks for your reply.
@Mike DeMarco See? I told you I was missing something. That's VERY interesting, and puts a whole new perspective on the subject. Question: Why does the Enterprise, when dropping out of warp, not cause everyone to fly out of their seats? Or is this a TV thing, that the show overlooks? Or, am I just watching way too much tv? I don't get out, much.
@Mike DeMarco "Because the Body doesn't want to move" when you say it like that is confusing as most people describe inertia and centrifugal force, instead describe it like your body can't Keep Up with the Larger Object 🤷♂️ It just sounds like Our Body's Are sentient And are stubborn or something Lmao, pet peeve
@@DrWhom The struts that hold the nacelles to the hull aren't really practical in an atmosphere then. I could see how your point makes perfect sense *in a gravity surrounding, with resistance (air, wind, precipitation, etc.) But, in space... there's none of that. For example... when a ship increases speed (like going immediately from impulse to the highest warp speed), how come the passengers don't fall backwards from the sudden thrust? At warp 10 (which is 10 times the speed of light) why doesn't the ship fly apart? Warp 10 is FAST. Warp 10, in an atmosphere where resistance is present would peel the skin from your face, if you had your head sticking out of a window. Ships are known to burn up when they're entering an atmosphere. But, in space... they don't. If that's the case... why is strength so critical in ZERO resistance?
