I don't know how they did it, but they found me.

88 light years an hour means crossing from one side of the galaxy to the other in about a month and a half.

Good luck hitting warp 9.999999999999 in that garbage scow!

Did I say it was a garbage scow? I meant to say it it should be hauled away AS GARBAGE

I wonder if the time-travel plot of Star Trek IV was subconsciously planted.

Star Trek III was released in 1984, Back to the Future was released in 1985, Star Trek IV was released in 1986.

Did the writers watch Back to the Future, remember that Lloyd was in Star Trek III, and unknowingly self-suggest they write a time travel story?

[-] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago

Movies generally have a much longer production time than a year. So the script was most certainly finished before ST III was released in cinemas. So BTTF writers would only have knowledge of ST III if they also wrote it, and even then it's highly unlikely that at the time of writing BTTF it would've been public knowledge (or even a made decision) Lloyd would be in ST. Getting most certainly wouldn't have even started for BTTF.

Um, no. It doesn't matter if Back to the Future's writers knew about Star Trek III. It matters if Star Trek IV's writers knew about Back to the Future.

Back to the Future was released in July 1985. Filming for Star Trek IV didn't start until February 1986. It's very believable that the Trek writers knew about Lloyd's role in Back to the Future as they were writing the script for The Voyage Home.

It is a curious thing that three of the greatest movies about time travel ever made were released within a three-year period.

There were chronitons in the air in the mid 80s.

This is news to me!

I just watched the movie for the first time in the past month. I recognized his voice right away. I was surprised but happy to see him as a Klingon

Whoa. This is heavy.
