Default Re: Old Films , New Films Discussions

All of the Star Trek films have huge plot holes. A few examples:

*Who is still transmitting images after the Klingons and Epsilon 9 are destroyed?
*Why is Enterprise always the only starship in the quadrant, especially when the quadrant is the one that contains Earth?! (basically, Earth is all but defenseless)
*Why is Khan suddenly at least 20 years older than his followers, all of whom were around his age in Space Seed?
*Why didn't Spacedock just lock a tractor beam onto Enterprise and stop Kirk and company from stealing it?
*How were aliens (presumably) from another galaxy listening to whales on Earth?
*When did Enterprise get 78 decks?
*Why did the Klingons only build the one Bird of Prey that could fire when cloaked? Was someone stupid enough to have the blueprints aboard the ship when it was launched?
*Why didn't Soran just fly into the Nexus with a ship? It worked out well for him before.
*Why did the Borg send 1 cube to Earth to assimilate it with the backup plan being an elaborate plot to go back in time and do it then? Why not just send a fleet of cubes to Earth?
*The Son'a were clearly criminals with chips on their shoulders, why did they even conspire with Starfleet before trying to mine the Baku planet's rings?
*Why didn't Picard have hair when he was at the academy?

That's just a small taste of the plot holes. Not that we care, we love the films anyway. Besides, if that's not the 1st JJ Abrams film you've seen, you know he's more about big action sequences and special effects than worrying about things like plot holes. Hell, some people can make lots of money and become living legends making films full of plot holes (Steven Spielberg, for one.)
