Death of the Enterprise

Who else thought the destruction of the Enterprise was weak and poorly thought out. They should have had a way more heroic death for the old girl. I was pretty cheap to have it blown away by a 20 year old Bird of Prey in like 2 minutes. It was just badly written. If I was in command I would have emptied my entire compliment of torpedoes into that bitch as fast as the launcher could throw them. Sure the BoP was shooting through the shields, but I dont think it would have lasted long against a nonstop barrage of over 200 photon torpedoes.

Yeah, It Blew! Bottom Line!
Too Much 'Hollywood'..
Just wasn't real enough - Especially when the Borg were Much More Vicious of an enemy!

Guys, it got killed because Riker was in command. I'm actually surprised the ship lasted as long as it did. It should have blown up the instant Picard beamed down to the surface of the planet.

Ahh Yes.. 'Numbah 1'! Blame it on Numbah 1!
SSUUURRREE.... Sounds good to me...

I'm just amazed the had the blasted frequency of the shield right there in full view for any: traitor, diplomat, intruder,etc..... to read.
It reminds me of the shmucks who write down the combination to a safe right on the wall next to the safe and then wonder why there stuff is gone.

Yeah, considering the number of times someone working against the Enterprise has been right there it's shocking they lasted as long as they have. And you'd think the second they shot through the shields they would change the frequency. They did this on the fly in other episodes. Sure the ship might be damaged by that initial shot but the Klingons would only get one.

Yeah, and I guess Riker forgot the "Change the shields to modulation pattern B" after the shields went down the first time.

RVR II · July 10, 2007, 03:36:02 PM

THAT'S RIGHT! HE DID FORGET TO CHANGE THE SHIELD MODULATION (THAT LOSER)!!
DIDN'T HE REMEMBER THAT FROM THE GREAT BORG BATTLE??
WHAT A DIP SH*T!!!

Didnt they crash the enterprise in a later movie as well?

RVR II · July 10, 2007, 03:41:39 PM

Yeah.. That was the Enterprise 'E' being used for Demolition Derby in Star Trek 10

Just Some Guy · July 10, 2007, 04:00:57 PM

And Star Trek 3. And it really got trashed bad in 2 (a.k.a. the one worth seeing even if you don't really care about Star Trek) but they manage to survive.

He didnt even try to eject the warp core either.

I personally got really tired of the whole "jettison the saucer section" thing. It was cool the first time, but they went to the well to often on that one.

what would have really been cool,is they did an auto destruct sequence, and had the crew leave with escape pods, and we could have seen the Big E blow up all Michel bay style......
