I can’t go to San Francisco without thinking about the nuclear wessels. My husband is legitimately worried that I’ll start asking random strangers about them.
Actually - considering the amount of unsolicited (and invariably wrong) advice we got from SF locals who saw us looking at transit maps and butted in to offer some friendly assistance… I may just do that at the next visit.
“Are you looking for Fisherman’s Warf?”
“No.”
“It’s just down that way!” \
“I think we’re good! Thanks for the help!”
“Actually, we’re looking for nuclear wessels. Do you know where I can find nuclear wessels?”
Oh I’m not saying it isn’t. Just going with the trope of “Star Trek is deep!” and then seeing something ridiculous. Wonderfully ridiculous, but ridiculous.
I’d say it’s the best. None of the other ones are at the top of their genres as far as action or dramatic sci-fi goes, but Star Trek IV is right up there with the best sci-fi comedies of all time.
“I swear, it’s not that ridiculous all the time…”
During TNG S1E4 Code of honor: “Yeah, it looks bad, but there’s an important progressive message in there somewhere.”
Enterprise pilot episode: “Ok, so Rick Burman had a bit of a horny streak, but it gets better.”
“Ok, let’s try another TNG episode then. Ooh look, this one is about a ghost!”
“Okay, fine. I’ll try a movie. This one looks okay. Wait. Why are they in San Francisco? Why are they… are they stealing a fucking whale?”
Hey that movie is great

\ He’s right to be worried.
One of the first things I’d want to see in SF is the future site of Starfleet Academy.
Judging by most of the shots, it will be where Fort Baker is now, in Marin.
Yeah but they’d know.
Anyways, the ghost fleet is parked across the bay I believe.

thats actually my most rewatched Star Trek movie, its maybe not the “best” but its the funnest to watch.

Wait not startrek V?
I remember 10 year old me trying to get my friend to watch it. Oh boy, lol
What if he invented the thing?
Try recognizing the SF of 1986 compared to SF of 2023.
Frank Herbert has entered the chat.
Fair enough. Also, love the username. Beside the song itself, I’m always reminded of Gentlemen Broncos. Weird, great movie.
Gentlemen Broncos is such an underrated gem.
Thanks guys! Had not heard of that one.
So has Gene Roddenberry.
John Norman has been cranking it in the chat for hours.
Star Trek was always horny.
