Did they ever go into who crewed the Enterprise A afterwards? I know Sulu went on with the Excelsior but I don't recall ever hearing anything about the A except it was decommissioned.
At the end of 6, there was a comms to report for decommissioning
Yeah, that's what I thought.
I don't believe any of the official canon stuff ever said anything about what happened to the A after Kirk. The novels and comics aren't considered canon anyway.
iirc at the end of the film the implication is they take the scenic route back to spacedock, however long that takes.
Has Kirk ever fought a bear?
Nah. I view it as a return to form. Back in the day Trek was very good at subtly tacking political issues of the day. I salute Trek for having the balls to address the Biden Presidency and how having someone not mentally there has bad consequences for everyone. Bravo.
Starfleet seems to get compromised A LOT. And when not being compromised, be blatantly misused by secret asshole admirals who are up to no good. They really need to beef up their security protocols to prevent that. Maybe introduce some personality tests to screen out the secret asshole admirals.
They took that option out in StarshipOS 11. If you haven't upgraded to the latest service pack, it will let you disable intership wifi in the registry BUT every time you try to fire phasers or raise shields you get a popup box that stays up for 30 seconds and tells you you have to register Starship OS 11. Definitely not ideal.
After seeing how awesome it worked blowing shit up, you don't think some secret asshole admiral tried to replicate the genesis device? During the Dominion War they probably tried to make a fucking million genesis devices.
In the shatners ashes of Eden it gets decommissioned and sold to a half Klingon half romulian private buyer with the weapons stripped out. They put Klingon weaponry into it and ask kirk to help out in a 7 samurai ish situation, but it turns out to be a unwitting trap.
It was kind of funny, because when Ro went on screen to tell the crew of the titan Starfleet was compromised, I was like, 'What, again?' Its basically, "HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN"
Maybe its the job itself. Maybe being an Admiral in Starfleet is so boring and soul crushing people end up losing their minds and get up to all sorts of fuckshit.
I said as much somewhere much earlier in this thread. Good admirals are glorified middlemen between the Council and Captains. They don't get to actually make decisions on their own. If anything, they get punished as it goes against Federation policy.
That sounds legitimately interesting. Think I'll pick up both versions, thank you.
starfleet keeps all the competent people as captains out doing missions, while the sycophants and useless ones get put behind an admiral's desk to push paperwork until they inevitably get caught midplot by one of the worthwhile captains.
Eh, Leyton and Pressman were competent; they just fundamentally disagreed with Federation policy. The dirty secret is that Leyton was also completely right and had they listened to him, the Federation would have had a 2 year lead-time on the Dominion War. They might have even prevented the war completely by destroying the wormhole.
