So, this is how incredibly geeky me and my buddy Steve are:
I go over to his place and he excitedly shows me the Star Trek movie trailer, where it's just guys building the Enterprise. Welding, sparks flying and stuff...neat.
And I turn to him and say "Are they building that thing on a planet?"
He nods, his eyes lighting up; he was thinking what I was thinking. "Yep."
"But...it's been established it had to be built in orbit!"
"Yep."
"It would crush itself under its own weight under planetary gravitation!"
"Yep."
"Even Mars' roughly 1/3 Earth normal gravity. Crunch!"
"Yep."
"What the fuck is the matter with them?!"
"That's what I said!"
Aimee looks at Jen (Steve's wife), rolls her eyes and says "Who cares?"
Steve and I gape at her.
Girls.
I had that same conversation in my own head. Except there were no girls.
Ok Jars and Nutty - you got me there. Lemme restate...
HA! There's an American actor in the cast! Which means I should totally go over there and audition for something.
I'm a geek girl too but I still have problems with girls who don't get it. I've also caught myself referring to myself as a "fanboy" so maybe I'm a bad example.
There's "girls" as in "not male physiologically" and there's "girls" as in "don't get boy stuff." They are not necessarily the same.
I've known many (straight, even) boys who are "girls".
And, to be fair, many girls (straight, even) who are "boys" by which I mean "don't get girl stuff".
At that moment Aimee and Jen were Definition Two "girls".

Waitaminute - isn't the Enterprise planet-side at the beginning of 4 - where are the "nuclear wessels"?

Nope. Kirk blew up the Enterprises in 3, and they flew a Klingon Bird of Prey...a much smaller ship, capable of atmospheric re-entry and landing in a gravity well...back to 1980s Earth.
The nuclear wessel was, of course, the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Enterprise. Which is not a spaceship.

Fucking tag won't close...
Nice save, dude.
Yeah, you like that one? That was close.
