Description

Here's an updated mesh of Ganymede station.  The mesh has the hull plate that came with the zip file, but the image has the battleship grey colour that the original Enterprise had during the original series to help with rendering and memory.  I use an old style AutoCAD 2002 running off of Windows 10.




I added the hashtags #quentin #tarantino #quentintarantino with the #star #trek #startrek just in case.   


Yes, many Trekkies are still freaking over his R-rated Star Trek script, but if you review Star Trek before the Kelvin timeline -- let alone Discovery -- you'll notice that Star Trek is no stranger to gruesome deaths and gory images -- AKA Lt. Commander Remmick's head exploding on the TNG episode, "Conspiracy."


Plus while I'm at it, you know why Klingon blood was pink rather than red on Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country?  To prevent the move from receiving an R-rating.  Because with that much blood on the deck plate, blood still pumping out of Gorkon's body, and one of his aides getting his arm shot off via phaser and blood spewing out of him, if they used red blood then it would be a very gory movie and suitable for an R-rating.


Let's not forget:


-Rachel Garrett's fatal head injury on Yesterday's Enterprise,

-John Doe's horrific head injuries and severed arm on Transfigurations,

-Tom Paris picking up a Hirogen's helmet only to find its owner is still wearing it on Prey,

-Tom Paris pulling out his tongue on Threshold,

-The dead Romulan on the Amargosa observatory on Generations,

-Spock pulling the spear out of Latimer on The Galileo Seven,

-Kruge falling into the lava on The Search For Spock,

-The eel coming out of Chekov's ear on The Wrath of Khan,


And so forth...




Now I'm not a Tarantino fan, but I can understand the respect he's earned in Hollywood.


And if we review other R-rated sci-fi classics, then they're just as dependent on the script and direction as PG or PG-13 rated sci-fi shows and movies.


The Terminator (1984)

Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)

Alien (1979)

Aliens (1986)

Total Recall (1990)

Robocop (1987)


It's that they are not as restricted on their content.


Now from what I read, Quentin Tarantino movies usually involved graphic violence and drug paraphernalia -- both he abhors.  And of course there's language -- yes, I'm looking at you Tilly.  


But as with violence, Star Trek is also no stranger to drugs and drug use.


His movies involve little to no nudity and sex, so needless to say seeing Carol Marcus returning in her underwear is unlikely.
