USS Franklin jump start

[schwarzerritter]

This movie somehow managed to have the "Airplane falls out of sight, silence, then rises up" cliche with a craft without wings.

I think it's pretty cool that even in times of desperation, everybody still has the decency to address the navigator and helmsman as "Mr. Chekov" and "Mr. Sulu". Nice touch and a great homage to tone of the television shows

The design of the USS Franklin was paying respect to the time peroid of Captain Jonathan Archer which was fitting from the back story to Captain Edison, specifically speaking about fighting the Xindi and Romulan wars prior to James Kirk being the captain in the prime universe.

Fun fact: simulating microgravity by putting a craft in freefall has been around as long as we've had astronauts.

Kirk: " Mr. Sulu...You can..you know.... fly this thing...right? "
Sulu: : Turns in you kiddin me sir?"

Man, i love this scene on the movie, love to see old machines coming to life again, and even more in this case when this ships looks like a flying battleship.

In case you were wondering why a decades-abandoned Federation ship is still in a functional condition: Sulu doesn't dodge all the mountains. Mountains lose. Sulu keeps flying.

"We can't just jump-start it" indicating a near-impossible task.
45 seconds later....

The U.S.S. Franklin, returning to the stars where she belongs. Loved this scene

[CloudHindlen]

The Franklin builder was the only starfleet ship builder ever to be smart enough to include a five point seat harness in the chairs...you never see the most useful feature ever again in a starfleet ship. 😂

Uss Franklin, a callback to the Enterprise era and the NX class layout.

engine nacelles in tng: *breaks like glass*
engine nacelles in the kelvin timeline: *goes straight through three or more jagged cliffs*

[Creasy]

If this was possible, why didn't Krall try it? Answer: Kirk is crazier than Krall ever was...

[briananthony]

They certainly build that model tough, even slamming against rocks just broke part of the rock off. The first warp 4 starship I believe.

[Turboy]

So the Franklin had an advanced feature that they forgot to include in every newer ship we've ever seen....SEAT BELTS.

[chrischappell]

respect at all time to the captain ……….”are you kidding me, Sir.”

[jocknarn]

That cast did a gr8 job replicating the TOS characters & banter👍

[imkerrusin]

Ah! The good ole' pop start trick! Let gravity generate enough speed so you can hit the gas and release the clutch in second gear. :)

0:31 love the way Sulu looks at his boss

[johnsteiner]

What I'd like is a show specifically about a ship like the Franklin; smaller vessel, less understood galaxy, small crew. A kind of Mass Effect scale story in Star Trek.
