Speaking of things on the Romulan ship...did we ever figure out what was with all the water? Was the ship getting old? Was it a byproduct of the borg technology integrated in?

I thought it might have been because the ship was a big drill, and drills need coolant anw water.

It was only in that one scene with Pike, right?  Thought maybe it was a home for the little darlin' brain clamping leeches.

Well, I saw the movie in IMAX last night and the "eel" things Nero uses look more like a crayfish to me and not really like the flat thing Khan used (different color, body shape, etc.).  Yeah, obviously a very similar tool they are using for the plot but I can see why they didn't make it a ceti eel.  It's doubtful the Romulans would even know about Ceti Eels or even have them.  Not even sure why they had these things on board a Romulan mining ship.  Frankly, I thought that whole sequence was weak.  Why not just torture Pike or mind meld with him?  Seems like a much more simple answer.

Romulans aren't telepaths like Vulcans, which it probably why the go with torture instead of mental abilities. I don't think that we've ever seen a Romulan telepath on screen. that's probably why T'pol in enterprise could use their mind ship and they needed the white andorians to drive it otherwise.

Another good point about the eels that is Ceti is a tropical paradise right now. Several decades away from becoming a wasteland. So they would have no reason to fly into federation space and go to the tropical planet to search down eels that they don't know exist or what they can do.

Having them as something different makes it easier.

Having them as something different makes it easier.

Having them not at all makes it easier. Having a creature with long front mandibles, a body and tail, that enters through an orifice and causes the subject to become susceptible to suggestion and not having it be the same thing from another movie doesn't seem to make it easier, either.

They could have just injected him with something.

Granted, it could have been done a million different ways, but then it wouldn't be a tribute.

But that just it, Chris. It wasn't a tribute at the end as they felt the need to make some slight changes. Just go for it! Stick it in his ear! That's a tribute and would have been a great scene! What, do they have to pay royalties to the Ceti Alpha Eel Union?! :)

Bryan, as someone on JJ's secret payroll I must put a stop to all this questioning of Mr. Abrams' intentions. :)

Do me a favor and ask your boss how long he thinks the damn Enterprise is upposed to be as he clearly has no idea!!!! ;)

[billybob476]

He says it's as long as you want it to be ;)

BA-DUM-DA!!!! Thank you I'm here all week! Try the fish! Polar Lights announced the new plastic model kit at Wonderfest. The New Movie Enterprise kit will be 11 inches, and is 2500th scale - in the film it's a massive 2,375 feet.

Romulans are lousy plumbers, that is why they stopped at the Klingon Prison planet.  To borrow a plunger and a snake, but negotiations went south....   You know how those Klingons can be...;)
