@Mole204: It helps that Nick Meyer, or at least someone in the makeup department, made the conscious choice to downplay the Klingons’ trademark forehead ridges in service of the film’s detente allegory.
“Watch, Gene Roddenberry’s gonna come back from the dead and kick your ass.” Feels like such a genuine thing a teenager would say, and I love it. If there’s anything you excel at, JB, it’s making these kids feel like real, sarcastic teenagers. They remind me so much of me and my friends at that age.
Totally not what I was expecting, and too bad. Put on the plus side, one of the best scenes from one of the best Star Trek movies, and JB draws better klingons than TNG has had. I wonder if this trial is what goes through Steve’s head every time he Has A Meeting in the principal’s office?
(Of course, panel 4, err, most of the panels, gives me flashbacks to NNS’s comments section…) I’ve re-watched Spock’s Brain. It’s not bad. I think it may be better than “the nazi episode.”
I know about Star Trek, but I know next to nothing about the specific Star Trek media this comic is parodying so I can’t really come up with a clever joke.
So, Steve grows up to become one of the writers of Star Trek: Lower Decks, doesn’t he?
I also love that, even here, Worf is the funniest guy in the scene without even trying.

I may not know much about Star Trek, but that got some chuckles out of me.

Funnily enough, I JUST found out that “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” was the first movie to be promoted by McDonalds in December of 1979 lol
