Most unrealistic part of the movie, and by god I'm including TIME TRAVEL, is that Scotty would be both dismissive of and insanely good at keyboarding text entry and use of a 1980s computer. Either he'd be pissed off because because there was no way to use this antique, or he'd be delighted at the chance to use his historical reenactment skills.

[–] Tolstoshev@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This is a very good point. The only possible retcon I could come up with for this is if starfleet had a required core curriculum course in ancient technologies that Scotty hated but also got an A+ in because he’s Scotty.

I think he was just trolling. It would be a classical comedy form by that era.

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 5 points 2 years ago

But it was damn funny regardless!:-P

Every time I open a terminal window I say these words in Jimmy Doohan's voice

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

Ah, a keyboard. How quaint.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall during that movie pitch.

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 23 points 2 years ago (2 children)

If you had been a fly on the wall, you would have seen the lines on the table...

[–] tpyoman@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm sorry but which movie is this I'm very vurious.

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Made mid '80's.

[–] tpyoman@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Thanks!! I've been meaning to watch Star Trek I'm familier with some of the lore, should do that at some point.

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you are going all the way back, movie wise, you can start at Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan as the first one is not the strongest.

2, 3 and 4 make a good trilogy.

[–] tpyoman@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Noted thanks!! I shall check them out.

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Wait, you've never seen any Trek movie or episode? How in the world did you find your way here?

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 2 years ago

Star trek and Linux are the Lemmy bread and butter

[–] tpyoman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The first movie I took my then newly born son to. It was loud as fuck. He slept through it. What a great kid he was.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I think Star Trek 5 was my third theater experience. Grandmother took me which is weird bc I don't remember her watching, but my mom was obsessed with ST:TNG. But I remember IV being on TV back then.

Were you holding him or was he in a carrier?
