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.

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.

But it was damn funny regardless!:-P

Ah, a keyboard. How quaint.

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

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

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Made mid '80's.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Noted thanks!! I shall check them out.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (4 children)

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

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Were you holding him or was he in a carrier?

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.
