TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name

Looks too light to me:

Yeah, don't know why people jumped on you like that. This is a silly nonsense Star Trek board, not an official serious forum to discuss Star Trek accurately ... basically, everything here is a joke and not to be taken seriously.

If people disagreed with your comment, they could have just ignored it.

I posted the image as a joke without any real ill intention against Sulu or Takei .... I love George Takei and follow him on all his social feeds.

I only posted the image and text just as a joke to juxtapose the idea of a calm Captain sipping tea while the world falls apart.

Was it seconds after that screenshot? It's been awhile since I've seen Undiscovered Country but the way I remember it:

Captain's Log, Stardate Something Something Point Two. The Excelsior is continuing its mission to study the Gamma Quadrant. Our calm routine science mission is going according to plan. I'm taking the opportunity to enjoy a nice cup of tea.

Sir! Sensors indicate state of the art special effects off the port bow!

everyone is thrown around, like actual thrown around because Sulu's tea table is actually a mounting point for the hydraulics the bridge set is mounted on so they can actually thrash the actors around

"Sensors confirm, Praxis exploded sir. Should I contact Starfleet Command?"

"Are you kidding?"

way at the end of the movie

"The Enterprise is in trouble! We have to get there just in the nick of time!"

"If we go any faster she'll fly apart!"

"FLY HER APART, THEN!"

Excelsior arrives

"Okay, we're here. So, now what? I guess we'll let the Klingons shoot at us too for a minute while Spock and Bones modify the torpedo I guess."

It feels doubly weird to me because this is the only time in the TOS movies that the Enterprise flies into combat fully ready, and it's the only time another starship comes to her rescue.

In The Motion Picture, Enterprise's refit broke more than it fixed, she barely works, the transporters kill a couple people, and she doesn't actually fly into combat.

In Wrath of Kahn, the ship is in decent shape but they're loaded with trainees on a training cruise, and Kahn catches Kirk with his pants down, so the ship is limping for the rest of the movie.

In Search for Spock, Enterprise is still wrecked from the last movie, Starfleet isn't gonna fix her, and Scotty slaps together an automation system so 5 guys can fly her to Genesis...not expecting to go into combat.

Voyage Home barely has an Enterprise in it; the HMS Bounty is just casually used to fly back and forth in time but does not see combat in this film.

Final Frontier, the Enterprise A barely works because apparently the only person in Starfleet who can make a Constitution class ship work is Cdr. Scott.

Undiscovered Country, Enterprise is in good working condition, has a full capable crew and a seasoned command staff aboard, she arrives at Khitomer ready for a fight...And gets the conference room kicked out of her. They sit there awkwardly getting the shit kicked out of them because they can't detect the bird of prey until they decide to modify a torpedo. At some point during that sequence Excelsior turns up to...help get shot at.

I think I want a different scenario where Excelsior comes to Enterprise's rescue, maybe if Enterprise is outnumbered or just completely outclassed, rather than facing a slightly better cloaked than usual bird of prey that Enterprise can utterly maul the second she gets her teeth around it. Excelsior should get a big damn hero moment, like arriving just in time to take a torpedo meant for a wounded Enterprise, or to surprise Klingon Ship #3 with a volley of torpedoes, giving the Enterprise enough of a respite to bring Klingon Ship #1 into her sights. Something.
