        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.

              Outraged, but unable to change this because Starfleet won’t allow him to alter the officially licensed hardware, Scotty pretends this computer doesn’t exist, in the hopes of it one day breaking down so badly Starfleet will let him replace it with something he made himself.

              He’s already replaced it, but has to keep the HW and remain proficient with it, in case Starfleet shows up for an inspection and he has to swap back to using it

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

              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.

            Meh, I got a chuckle especially since the search didn’t show the Star Wars movie in question. 😉

              It’s “the one about the whales” not “with”. It gives the right first result if you change that.

              It does if you scroll down a bit. Not my fault someone actually made a movie called “One with the Whales”. It use to be that only Star Trek 4 would come up with that search.

    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.
