I will never understand why the beard went for that movie. People give it shit constantly but the worst part is the lack of beard, not the Shinzon stuff

[–] aeronmelon@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Bro, Shinzon was Nemesis. Riker lost the beard in Insurrection.

And you complain, but that super hot Trill Ops officer seemed to like it.

My head cannon is that he couldn't be bothered, so he sent Thomas instead.

[–] aeronmelon@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Riker, over comms: "'Sup, stupid."

Thomas: "I'm closing the channel."

Riker: "How would like to make some extra scratch and keep my Imzadi company for a few weeks?"

Thomas: "...I'm listening."

Edit: Wrong actress, please see replies.

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Meredith Murphy is the actress who portrayed a Trill science officer in Star Trek: Insurrection. She received no credit for this part

Wow, why?

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think that must have been a different Trill officer? According to a link in the footer of the same page it was this actress on the bridge: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Stephanie_Niznik

My bad. You're right. Good eye!

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Huh. Been a while since I seen Nemesis. I must be conflating the two movies.

Also just means the trill had bad taste, that's all

I mean...

By the way, were the Remans all left to die when Romulus and Remus were destroyed? Because they never got mentioned again.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I outright refuse the complaint about the ARGO. I have never understood people's problems with it.

Also when it comes to the Remans, presumably. I'll do some research and get back to you on that.

Complaint: What was the point of the entire sequence?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Patrick Stewart said "make it so"

Star Trek Online has a whole storyline about that. It isn't canon, but it ought to be.

His beard refused to be a part of the movie.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Anything without the beard is bad.
