Star Trek - USS Constellation

[@juansantiago3296]

One of my favorite..and I love how they updated the SFX

[@blockmasterscott]

For some reason, that guy exclaiming “what a mess!” always cracked me up. 😂😂😂

[@Protobooster]

This has akways been ine of my favorite episodes and I like the new spfx. I liked that shot of the Constellation damange and that debris hitting the hull and shattering.

[@bobbycv64]

I was fortunate to serve on the 3rd Constellation - CV64, just search CV64 - 1st was the 1st US Navy ship 1797 - 2nd 1854 in Baltimore, MD as a museum and 3rd Carrier (1961-2003) - my ship. Everyone recently has seen CV64 Constellation in the media, the 1st to strike Vietnam, 1st invasion in Iraq 2, 1st Aces of the Vietnam War were on Constellation, many more FIRSTS. BTW, my friend who had me join the USN, we went to Boot Camp together and later he served on CVN65 Enterprise.

the two guards by the lift..apparently their battle station is two steps forward

[@rikeralpha100]

But if it's amber alert you take one step back.

[@FP194]

Some people don’t like the updated effects, but I think in this case, it really works because it shows the absolute carnage that was done to the constellation in much better detail than the original

[@robertcalva3773]

One of my favorite episodes.

[@paktype]

I like how Kirk had to think about it before deciding to board the Constellation. Boarding another commander’s ship without permission is a big deal even in this situation.

No response, automatic beacon only

Nerd

[@FredPlanatia]

@@markwolfshohl6562 yeah, so?

[@gerry-p9x]

Only way to snap Decker quick frozen in terror..did on Omaha beach d day to USA. GIs

[@mahbriggs]

I doubt that is what he is thinking. He is trying to decide whether it is safe! It would be rather embarrassing to beam over there and then have the enemy so up and cut him off from his own ship Which is exactly what happened!

[@mblaber2000]

Like the way Kirk screams at someone obviously having a nervous breakdown. I thought he might slap him too. Old school…

[@ExWEIMan]

Whatever works.

[@DanielJohn-xr7ly]

He saw himself a lil bit in Decker and didn't like it.

[@smacwhinnie]

Great camerawork on bridge opening

[@gsdubz9931]

I've always like the musical score at :57, so majestic.

[@summer20105707]

The latest rumor is that this doomsday machine was an el aurian super weapon used against the borg. This makes perfect sense to me.

[@ScottGammans]

You’re referring to the events depicted in “Vendetta”, an excellent 1991 TNG hardback novel by Peter David.

[@chuckaddison5134]

I read that book, many years ago when Jean Luc and his ship encounter another, more powerful version. They discover it had been an ancient civilization's defense aganist the Borg. Don't remember all the details but thought it was well written, a good story. Always thought it would have made a better movie than some of the other TNG ones.

[@midsouthexpress]

@@ScottGammans Another TNG novel that is really good is called Before Dishonor. It involves the original doomsday machine that they go to and reactivate.

[@gruntforever7437]

Balance of Terror, Doomsday Machine and City on the Edge of Forever are my three choices as the best of TOS

[@seanmcdonough4902]

Best shots of Enterprise TOWING Constellation...

[@Gargoyle2556]

William Windom

[@paulpayton1348]

He was one good thespian. Comedy and drama.

[@kurtfrancis4621]

A great actor. He was the prosecuting attorney in "To Kill a Mockingbird", and played Charlie Snead in the original Walton's movie "The Homecoming: A Christmas Story".

[@Willpower-74205]

At that time, he was known as "Willie the Weeper" for his uncanny ability to break down and cry on cue, which he used to good effect here. 🖖😎👍

[@Saanichian]

Solar systems? I mean, Kirk ain't no Spock, but I'm pretty sure that he would know to say "star systems."

[@JohnnySmithWhite-wd4ey]

AMT brought out it's model of the Enterprise. One was donated to Norway Productions. That's where the Constellation came from. AMT only provided 1701 as registration number. That's where 1017 comes from.

[@paulsimmons5726]

I like the updated version of the Enterprise but I grew up with TOS so either way is great! 🖖

[@tomb7942]

The rest of the ship is habitable? I presume he meant expect for the huge chunk of the saucer that isn't there.

[@kenw.1112]

THAT HOT CHICK WALKED PASS KIRK AND KIRK ACTED LIKE HE DID NOT SEE THAT BABE!!

[@B-and-O-Operator-Fairmont]

"The rest of the ship seems able to sustain life." Well, except for the blasted away skin and protruding structural members on the main section. Oddly, the bridge area at 3:08 doesn't look damaged.

[@Willpower-74205]

The bridge being damaged and uninhabitable likely means that the controls and life support system were fried when the ship was hit by the Planet Killer's anti-proton weapon. The outer hull of the bridge might not have been directly in the line of fire at the time. My two cents, anyway. 🖖😎👍

[@gerry-p9x]

Only time bridge crew Kirk. Walked in front of main view screen

[@wilsonle61]

"She may have been wrecked by whatever destroyed these solar systems....." Ya think?

[@ExWEIMan]

snide comment

[@wilsonle61]

@@ExWEIMan Nope! just military gallows humor!

[@JeffreyWilliams-dr7qe]

Thought only the Borg could do this! Why didnt the Meltons stop all this in peace of course.

[@MICHEAL-l1d]

That is not THE Constellation. THE Constellation (CV 64) is a 900 feet long 90k roaing motor scooter and a bad go getter. She even learned how to fly in Age of Ultron

[@ronwit]

Busy with another project, if I recall correctly.

[@ronwit]

Sorry wrong place.

[@MICHEAL-l1d]

@ronwit I know. I was being a Connie sailor.(and a bit of a sa) 79 to 81. Captain's Office. The Age of Ultron reference comes the Shield helicarrier whose side number was 64. Also appears in the first G.J. Joe movie.

[@dougdeepdown]

Great work...until screwing with Decker's dialogue to Kirk 😢

[@briantaylor9285]

@@gruntforever7437 that "lmfao" at the end was a clear indication that my comment was clearly in jest, and I am certainly not the first to poke fun at Shatner's acting.
