Star Trek Notes

 Star Trek Notes

Nyota Uhura was revolutionary

First interracial kiss in TV

The first contact between humans and Vulcans

The ship USS Kelvin is immediately under attack by Romulans

223304

They kill the old commander

Captain kirk’s wife is having a kid

He goes down with the ship

Jim is a bad kid and it looks like they have robocops

Vulcans are nerds, the kid Spock is half human and Vulcan

Grown-up Spock rejects the Vulcan way

The movie moves very quick

Jim is still arrogant but Starfleet wants him to enlist

Weird to see Karl Urban with an American accent because he’s great in The Boys

Zoe Saldana being roommates with a green character is ironic

This Spock seems to have more personality than the one from 1966

If there isn’t a Russian character in the first one Chechov seems like a waste of a character

Spock and Uhura have a relationship contrary to the original where you told us she kissed Kirk

Time Travel?!

Giant monsters on Delta Bega

Runs into Spock from 129 years in the future on the planet

A black hole can turn years into seconds

Nero killed Jim’s father without really any intent

The Kirk in the previous timeline knew his father

Montgomery Scott plays a small role in the beginning, not sure if he’s bigger in other adaptations

The rule of not meeting yourself applies

Spock becomes emotionally compromised

San Francisco is the main Starfleet base on Earth

Accuracy with no sound in space

 

The Man Trap notes

Spock starts in command

Decent special effects for the time, but uses sets for the space backgrounds

Their ship is the Enterprise

Uhura is charming, Spock is very literal

Uhura is significant as a black woman in a high position

There’s lots of diversity, there’s a character named Jose Dominguez?

The craters were looking for salt and the dead guy had none in his body

Video and wireless phone calls were included

Two more men died from the same cause on the planet

The Craters can shapeshift like Mystique using the salt, and Nancy turns into green

George Takei

She keeps putting her hand by her mouth and biting his knuckle

They discover there’s an imposter among them

The blonde woman’s hair is elaborate

The creature was the last of her kind

Lots of science and reasoning are involved

Dr. McCoy kills the ugly creature who has suction-cup hands

Set in the 23rd century

4/5/2063 is the first contact


Star Trek: Picard notes

This one takes place in the 2300s

Data is an android and is Picard’s equivalent of Spock

Captain Picard has a chateau in France

Boston is imagined as a much more lively and bright city than I imagine it

Asian chick is powerful and an A.I.

Food can be prepared in an instant

Data was a synthetic

Picard resigned from Starfleet

Mentioned Vulcans had come to Earth in the 1940s, and the interview talks about Dunkirk

The “activation” is Dahj having all this knowledge within her that she didn’t know about

San Francisco looks incredible

The daughter painting looks just like Dahj

Her attackers are Romulan

She gets exploded

Dahj had a cloaking device

Maddox created both twins of Dahj using inspiration from the painting

The other knows they’re a twin and are a part of a Romulan reclamation site

The BORG


Star Trek: Discovery “The Vulcan Hello”

Love, Death & Robots: Pop Squad Reaction

I really enjoyed watching all of the episodes in class of Love, Death & Robots, but the episode "Pop Squad" stuck out to me the most. Out of all of the episodes, I felt that this one contained and covered a variety of real issues that us as humans face now or could be certain to face in the future.  "Pop Squad" is set hundreds of years in the future where cities expand way above the clouds, and those that are alive have traded the ability to have children in exchange for eternity through a drug called Rejoo. The main job that the police, and one of the main characters Briggs has, is to arrest any "breeders" and kill any children they find. It is not explicitly stated, but can be implied that everyone in this society is supposed to take Rejoo regularly and only those that stop taking the drug are able to either physically have children, or are able to think more freely and less selfishly.  The basis of this episode really made me think about what the fu

About Me

Hi everyone, my name is Shane Petagna and I'm from Edison, NJ. My life revolves around sports, and it's definitely what I'd consider myself a geek about. No matter what time of the day, I'm probably watching, playing, or reading about sports. Most of the time I'm consuming baseball in some sort of fashion. I also enjoy working out as a way to clear my mind. My goal for a career is to work somewhere in the field of sports, whether on the journalism or business side.  I'd say I'm pretty excited about the class. Who can say no to watching movies all the time? I'm really excited to watch movies I've always wanted to watch, especially The Matrix and Interstellar. I do have some concerns about some of the assignments, only because I've struggled slightly with artistic projects in past school years before. I expect to watch plenty of great works of cinema and also to have deep discussions about the world around us and the concepts that affect our lives

The Impact of Philip K. Dick

Through my research of Phillip K. Dick, it is very clear how much his creative fingerprint has been left on the world of science fiction. His ideas were revolutionary in the fact that many of his stories influenced the making of lots of iconic sci-fi films and TV shows. Dick wrote from the early 1950's until the early 1980s. He struggled with drug addiction, bad marriages, and long stretches of writer's block. However, he is perhaps the most influential sci-fi writer of all time.  The biggest difference in Dick's writing is how the dystopian elements of his stories affect his characters. Through his own works like A Scanner Darkly  which influenced The Matrix,  and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep that of course led way to Blade Runner , there is a much deeper connection to the characters in these pieces of entertainment than other installments in the genre. Dick never trusted the potential connection between man and machine, which was a common theme in his work. Through
