Transparent. Aluminum.
Most unrealistic part of the movie, and by god I’m including TIME TRAVEL, is that Scotty would be both dismissive of and insanely good at keyboarding text entry and use of a 1980s computer. Either he’d be pissed off because because there was no way to use this antique, or he’d be delighted at the chance to use his historical reenactment skills.
This is a very good point. The only possible retcon I could come up with for this is if starfleet had a required core curriculum course in ancient technologies that Scotty hated but also got an A+ in because he’s Scotty.
Where are your nuclear wessels?
I would love to have been a fly on the wall during that movie pitch.
If you had been a fly on the wall, you would have seen the lines on the table…
Transparent Aluminum is a thing!
The first movie I took my then newly born son to. It was loud as fuck. He slept through it. What a great kid he was.
