Part 1
A good start, and I'm looking forward to him really starting to rip into the Luddites.

Maybe he sequestered himself to work on his INS script.Captain Seafort wrote:There's neither, actually, and hasn't been for over a month.I wonder where he's got to this time.
So, we're never going to see him again?Mikey wrote:

Guess not. Now it's a race between him and the heat death of the universe.Griffin wrote:So, we're never going to see him again?
That was left rather fuzzy - intentionally, probably, so as not to let any inconvenient facts get in the way of the intended visceral pull of the poor abused Space Amish.Lighthawk wrote:I have to admit, I don't remember much of Insurrection. But looking back on it and on this review, it does rather seem like the movie had to bend over backwards and shove its head up its own ass in order to make the Son'a the bad guys and the Ba'ku the good.
I don't recall, but was it ever even mentioned in the movie if the Ba'ku actually owned the planet? I know it was in Federation space, but does that make it legally the Federation and the Ba'ku are basically squatters, or is it legally the Ba'ku's and the Federation decided to just oust them without even giving a notice of eviction?
Well, heat entropy has a lot further to go... but it does tend to work more quickly than Rochey...Captain Seafort wrote:Now it's a race between him and the heat death of the universe.
I always figured that it was in their space but unclaimed by the Federation. While the Feds may claim the sector and space surrounding it, the planet was ostensibly pre-warp so the Feds couldn't actually do anything with it. I would think they would leave the pre-warp civilizations go a bit, at least until they develop the technology to detect the presence of the Federation/warp drive.

I was under the impression that Starfleet/the Feds were unaware of their technological past. I suppose it should be rephrase to an apparent pre-warp society. What's his face references their migration from their homeworld as 309 years ago, which would put it sometime in the 21st century. I doubt anyone was out there at the time to spot them (it has been established the Briar Patch seems to pose some sort of hazard to handling/navigation/Mikey wrote:It would make sense, except the planet (meaning the inhabitants) weren't pre-warp. The non-interference principle applies to societies that haven't achieved warp, not to societies which have renounced it.
This, to me, was actually the most important aspect of the film.Lighthawk wrote:I don't recall, but was it ever even mentioned in the movie if the Ba'ku actually owned the planet?
