One thing I never understood in the logic of this movie was:
Why bother with blowing up stars to redirect the Nexus if he simply could have bought a ship to fly into its course...
That was established in the 1st act that ships weren't a stable vehicle for transference to the Nexus.
Not so good movie, not so good changes to the Excelsior class, but boy do I love that whole scene. CG composited onto models will always look the best.
The movie was ruined for me when he launches a rocket into a star that looks to be about 1au away and the rocket gets there in like 15 seconds. Dont tell me that ish was warp-capable.
And if it was 1au away, it takes about 8 minutes for sunlight to reach earth. So if there were any visual changes to the star they wouldn't be able to see them for a few minutes
This is so correct, and upon reflection adds to the bad effect.
We don’t know the size of the star he blew up so we can’t know how far away he is. Maybe it’s a small star and they’re really close. Also why can’t the missile have warp? Dreadnaught, the missile reprogrammed by B’Elanna, was warp capable and it was designed and built a couple years before Soran tries to return to the Nexus.
It was equipped with "The Screenwriter and Director are Pretty Sure The Audience Doesn't Know High School Physics" Drive. Very powerful!
Soren hasn’t got the time for thirst-trap Klingons.
He already had paradise, if only he could see it.
I always wondered, since soren did manage to get into the nexus the first time, and the nexus is outside time, did Picard's time shenanigans effectively "pull him out" again (if so why doesn't he remember) or is there a version of him now back in the nexus forever?
is there a version of him now back in the nexus forever?
I don't think he exists in the Nexus like Guinan does. Guinan and the crew of the El-Aurian ship were beamed out by Scottie while the were phasing into and out of our existence and the Nexus. My head canon is that they were doubled at that instant (like Riker or Boimler). That's why she can be there and on The D at the same time.
No, but he got in the Nexus proper along with Picard, no?
± what?
Give or take. His species lives for centuries and I'm sure they lose track after a while.
I suspect the person you responded to understood the context, but was cheekily calling out the "technically incorrect" usage of ±
The ± symbol requires a tolerance value to create a defined maximum and minimum range, e.g 300±20 (so Soran could be anything between 280 and 320)
it doesn't mean "approximately"
But I understand this is just an inconsequential funny picture, so whatever right.
