Star Trek releases 4 of the worst minutes in series history as Starfleet Academy clip
By Joshua Taylor | Published
The full four-minute clip from the upcoming series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Already online. This may be a reaction to the bad reaction to the poster that was released late last week. The poster was criticized for resembling an episode of the TV series dawson creek, So Paramount released a complete four-minute clip of the space battle. here it is…
Is this the worst scene in Star Trek history? I think so.
As evidence, I submit this line of dialogue spoken by Holly Hunter’s Captain character: “Full fire!”
Full spread of what? Usually in Star Trek, this line contains the word “torpedo”, as in “launch a lot of torpedoes.” Put this way, this suggests that the ship’s weapons officer should fire all the torpedoes in the torpedo tubes at once. However, no one has mentioned weapons so far, so it’s unclear what she’s trying to spread. Maybe butter?
This is what one of Holly Hunter’s police officers said after she asked for buttered toast: “We can’t!”
The Karen people never said why we couldn’t. Typically, such lines will contain more words. Like, “We can’t because there’s a burr in the tube,” or “We can’t because the weapon won’t be installed until Tuesday.” However, Karen’s failure to fire “full” never explains why she can’t fire; she just says “we can’t,” and then no one bothers to ask why not.
Holly Hunter, now hampered by her officers’ failure to open fire in full force, ordered: “Emergency avoidance!” To escape from what? Often, this sentence will include the word “drill.”
The captain might say, “Emergency evasive maneuver.” If the word “evasive” is plural, the word “maneuver” can even be omitted. For example, a captain might say “Escape!” Dodging something usually requires multiple actions, which is why it’s multi. But Holly Hunter’s captain ordered a sidestep of an unknown type.
Was she ordering the officers to duck under the console? Should they give evasive answers to her questions? She never said.
Understandably, the ship’s officers ignored these vague orders. No one responded to them, or did anything like “avoidance,” whatever that was.
Instead, blue-haired Karen, who was sitting somewhere behind the captain, started shouting that the ship’s systems were simultaneously overloading and draining power. This shouldn’t be possible since overloading means too much power. However, the ship seemed to be running out of power at the same time as it was getting more power than it could handle. Such bad luck.
Holly Hunter’s Captain character reacts with neglect to the news that she simultaneously has too much power and not enough. Instead of taking action to save the crew from being blown to smithereens, she called the ship’s doctor and asked for a report. As for what, it’s unclear. The Doctor stood in the corridor, waving his arms, unable to do anything to help their current predicament as a Doctor who couldn’t handle weapons or had no background in engineering or combat.
Then the villain appears and starts discussing the origami chicken. This is the best part.
