ship destroyed but she got away in an escape pod  :D. I know, it's a fanboy's dream.
Aw, I don't have a wicense for a fwickaseeing wabbit.

What gets me is reading some deeply high-brow epic geeky posts on the Startrek.com boards that say time travel only works in such and such a way, and this is not canon Star Trek, but they can't explain how Tasha Yar's daughter is a commander in the Romulan fleet either.

A Corellian corvette? Why not just put up a X-wing for reference? Why compare a ship of the line to a civilian transport/blockade runner? It's apples and oranges. Come on, how about a Victory class Star Destroyer at least?!? Even a Nebulon-B Frigate would be better. Of course, to be most useful, it would probably have to be an Imperial class Star Destroyer...
Yellow Lantern smash!

I still don't know if I was filled with awe or disgust though. :P

Spring Heeled Jack

Me neither. But since I'm a nerd too, I think I'm filled with quiet contempt and mild acceptance.

Let's just cut to the chase and break out the Executor.

So the new timeline Enterprise is supposed to be bigger than the old timeline original Enterprise?  Why?  Has any explanation for that been given? 

And yet it was still built planet-side....  Dumb.

So, just saw it and was awed. It looked great. Also, you want ships, here you go.

Oh, I'm part nerd too.
Long live Slaanesh, Prince of Pain!!!

The Trade Federation Battleship was larger than an Imperial Class Star Destroyer?! Something about that is just so very wrong.

Oooh, a Super Star Destroyer! That's just plain unfair.  :)

Interesting.... so the vast majority of ships in Star Wars really aren't that big..... It's just that there's a few insanely large ones.

Yeah really... which is why it stands as one of the iconic moments in film history. Such a deeply compelling way to have the heroes go "Oh crap, we're so screwed...."

Until they find the "blow it up" button, that is. ;)

But it's only two meters wide, it'd be impossible to hit, even for a computer!
I apologize in advance for everything I say on here. I regret it immediately after clicking post.

I forgot to mention...Did anyone else catch the 619 reference in the movie?  I thought it was really strange to see a link between ST and perhaps WWE.  Then on RAW The Miz mentions Star Trek.  What is the connection?

Did anyone think to look through the credits to see if it was funded by Vince McMahon?
