The Hunt for Red October
Re: The Hunt for Red October
I agree. I just thought it would be an interesting premise for fan-fiction, as we have seen the Romulan defector in said TNG episode. I just like both Star Trek and Star Wars so much, and since The Hunt for Red October was one of my favorite non-Trek movies ....
Re: The Hunt for Red October
Which makes me think, what would happen if Crimson Tide was made into a Star Trek story? XD lol
Re: The Hunt for Red October
I agree Graham. Hence, I would find it more likely that a Klingon would take, as you have quoted, ""several billion dollars worth of Klingon state property", and bring it straight to Starfleet, cuz if it WAS intended to be a prototype to attack the Federation and they wouldn't know anything about it, then Ra'mius would find it to be dishonorable and a ploy by the smooth headed Klingons to seize control of the Empire and as I would put it "put the bumpy headed Klingons in their place," as you have stated yourself that smooth headed Klingons do often use underhanded tactics, and maybe Ra'mius would, to quote Capt Davenport from the Red October movie, "sail on up, pop open the hatch and say here I am." He WOULD have sufficient reason to do that, as how you put it, cuz he believes in TRUE honor, like Worf and Klingons and his ilk, and if K'tinga was intended to be part of an attack on the Federation, as you put in your notes on the class, then if I were Ra'mius, I'd say, "to hell with this, SoH 'ach reH vISov 'ej bach vabDot vIq ta' 'e' bImejnIS Hoch," which would translate from Klingon as, "you are the most cowardly sons of bitches I have ever known and you all need to be shot for even thinking such a thing!"Graham Kennedy wrote:I dunno. Picard said that a Romulan defector was almost a contradiction in terms, and yet I'd consider that more likely than a Klingon defector myself. With the Klingons you have to have personal reasons compelling enough for the "wolves to lie down with the sheep", as Klingons see it. I can't see defections from either one being common - and certainly not defections that are accompanied by "several billion dollars worth of Klingon state property", as the movie put it.

Re: The Hunt for Red October
*sigh* Hunt for Red October is a guilty pleasure movie of mine. When it is showing and I click past it with the remote, I always pause and watch. Strangely it was one of my first introductions to Sean "Ooo Baby" Connery and it was love at first sight. Maybe it was the uniform, maybe it was the best toupee to date that he has worn in any film (heaven help him for that mess he wore in Medicine Man). But because of the film, I recently watched all of the Bond films that I'd never seen. It was strange to see him so young and now I understand how he became the Bond standard to beat.

Re: The Hunt for Red October
That is the wonderful movie called Zardoz. I strongly recommend that you see it if you can. It is a work of genuine loopiness that only the 70s could have produced.
Here's another shot of Connery from the movie :
Yes, he walks around dressed like that. Apparently after Bond he was offered a lot of "tough guy spy" roles and feared being typecast. So he chose the movie that was least like that. And boy is Zardoz SO not like that. In spades.
And here's one of the early scenes :
And you know the most weird thing about it? Underneath all the utterly bizarre trappings, there's actually a pretty decent sci-fi story in there.

Zardoz sounds like a medication you take for shingles, and "the penis is evil" sounds like a soundbite from a feminist rally, but my curiosity is piqued.
