But that makes perfect sense when you're talking about a film and television franchise that's nearly 50 years old.That was the idea, I expect. You're not supposed to see every facet of the ship. The Narada was kept dark and shadowed because the direction team wanted it to come across as menacing and overwhelming. I think they did a stellar job. There's a certain brutality to the idea that you can show up with a mining ship but the fact that it's from a hundred years in the future means that it has the upper hand against anything thrown at it.What we're telling you (and giving what we feel are pretty solid examples for) is that Trek was never as incredible as you think it was - certainly not in film. And, above all, that the new movies do at least passable justice to the franchise as a whole.</blockquote>
