Star Trek: Countdown (SPOILERS)

[CaptainWacky]

WTF?

 

[Hambil]

His lips don't move when he talks.

 

[CaptainWacky]

he's a robit

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

LOL they gave him Spiner's middle-aged paunch.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

And they put the word "loaded" beneath his crotch.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Lock and load!

 

[Colonel Kira's Left Tit]

Everybody's favorite gay robot lives!

(?)

 

[CaptainWacky]

AND IS THAT TASHA YAR IN FRONT OF HIM!? (No, probably not.)

 

[whisky]

Someone on another board pointed out that the display in front of him appears to be a screenshot from the game "a final unity"

 

[Fuddlemiff]

And to the right is a console screen from the Enterprise B. Maybe the artist was having fun, or maybe they did an image search for Okudagrams?

 

[CaptainWacky]

I don't notice things like that.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Just read issue two...

Spoiler

Romulus is destroyed at the end!

Oh, and Data is still alive because the transfer of his memories to B4 was a success (meh.)

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Do they explain where the hell Spock got a time machine?

 

[The Tomtrek]

Not yet, but there's still two issues to go (or it might be something they explain in the film)!

 

[CaptainWacky]

Of course the big question is if NERO has a time machine why doesn't he just go back and save

Spoiler

Romulus?

 

[The Tomtrek]

Because then we can't get a bunch of young, fresh actors to play the Original Cast and have explosions in space!

 

[CaptainWacky]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaah.

 

[The Tomtrek]

Just read the final issue, and it's making not dread the movie a little.

Romulas being destroyed was a pretty ballsy move, as was almost killing Worf (although him on the bridge of the Nerada looking for Nero was pretty cool).

But what I liked best is that Spock and Nero's travel through time was both:

A) A one-shot thing (falling into a technobabble black hole what was sealing up a technobabble supernova)

and

B) Accidental

Which makes a few things make sense, like the "Of course the big question is if NERO has a time machine why doesn't he just go back and save Romulus?" question.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Oh yeah, I guess it does. Nero's rage against Spock and the Federation still didn't make total sense to me though. It was really the Romulans who were to blame for not abandoning the planet. But I guess he couldn't realy take his rage out on them because they were all dead.

Interesting that the comic didn't end with Picard and Data ceasing to exist or changing due to the changes in the timeline...I guess they do intend for their to be two different but "canon" timelines now.

 

[The Tomtrek]

Yeah well Nero's hatred of Vulcan was just because they wouldn't help save Romulus, but then they changed their minds after Romulus went bye-bye (WHAT HAPPENED TO REMUS?????).

But at least we know the meaning behind his tattoos and his pointy stick thing and his wibbly-wobbly squid ship.
