As the title says, this thread is for spoilers for the new Trek movie. Whether they're confirmed or just rumours, put 'em here.

For the sake of those who don't want to read spoilers for the new Trek movie, please refrain from posting spoilers for the movie anywhere other than here.

Good idea, Rochey.

I've been known to have them.

PROBABLE SPOILER

Has anyone seen the extended "disease and danger" clip of Kirk, McCoy and shuttle? It's on yahoo, and can be found Here. I'm fairly certain that Karl Urban is McCoy. I could see this guy on the orbital office complex telling the transport chief "send these guys first and let me know how this thing scrambles their molecules."

Spoiler...

So apparently Nero's wanktastic ship is even worse than the Scimitar, rather than a planet killing radiation gun they have a planet killing Blackhole generator.

IMO Planet killing guns = fail

Although there is at least a little bit of canon behind this, arent Romulan ships powered by a singularity? Maybe they just manipulated this into a weapon somehow.

"So get some more guys then it will be an even fight." Excellent!

What's wrong with planet-busters, Teaos?

Vulcan is destroyed leaving Spock the last Vulcan. Read it on IMDB.

I really wish I hadn't read that by the way. Hope it's not true.

There's a guy answering spoiler questions from only those who ask to be spoiled on IMDB.

Ultimate one upman ship. If a ship can destroy a planet it can destory a starship fairly easily.

Which means you need either:

1) Convoluted plot or 7 fucktones on luck to beat it

2) Equal and opposite firepower ie a massive fleet, which is cumbersome to use day to day.

Planet killers are a cheap way of adding drama to a movie/episode.

EDIT:

HIGHLY doubt that spoiler is true nutso.

How does destorying Vulcan destroy all Vulcans? Are there no Vulvans on ships or other planets?

Hm, so it was Vulcan being destroyed in the trailer, as some of us speculated.

That said, he can't be the last Vulcan. We know from ENT there are a few Vulcan colonies elsewhere, and presumably there'd be plenty of Vulcans on other UFP planets.

Or perhaps the weapon is just unsuited for ship-to-ship combat.

True, but when done well they can be pretty good.

Or perhaps the weapon is just unsuited for ship-to-ship combat.

For example, it may require a relative stationary target to lock onto.

Or maybe the ship's too cumbersome to aim the gun at the target.

Agreed, it would be like a 16 inch gun taking out a speed boat.


BTW I had to watch McCoy in the new clip again. Had my wife watch it, I told her it reminded me of her when we go flying together.

It generates a blackhole, get the thing anywhere near a ship and its fucked.

You dont have to be hit by a nuke to be killed by it.

Perhaps it is setup so that it requires a lock on in order to activate. A safty system of sorts.
