The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)

[preserves42]

Just finished reading Star Trek: The Red Path and I've just got to share some of my favourite moments from it.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR IDW STAR TREK VOLUME 2 THE RED PATH BELOW

Go read it if you haven't already

We get off to a good start with Quark suffering, as he always should (affectionate)

Continuing strongly with one of the cheesiest lines ever (also Barada Damar actually has great hair I'm jealous)

In good comic book tradition we receive two excellent onomatopoeia one directly after another (com badges sure do go bdledoo)

Tom Paris should never be allowed to design starship controls for anyone but himself (affectionate)

Who gave red ghost Dukat permission to serve this much cunt? (derogatory)

Shax is a badass as expected

Lieutenant Descheeni is also a badass and becomes my new favourite recurring secondary character.

Lily Sato is such a badass that she stuns Shax into silence

Beautiful interaction between Data and Spot. Perfectly in character.

I appear to have hit the picture limit so I will reblog with the last few

A gal from another dimension. A problematic yet amicable kind of gal, if she isn't skipping some classes or starting fights. She can be seen lecturing Grim more often than not.

I’m not gonna spoil it, I’m just gonna say that Barada Demar a.k.a. Barb, is my new favorite Cardassian.

TAKING YOU BACK TO THE PALM DESERT SCENE WITH KLAATU, GORT, & HEAVY FRIENDS IN '92.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a promotional photograph of Gort and Klaatu from the American science fiction film "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (1951), and the same image repurposed for flyer art to a KYUSS and FU MANCHU show, performing live at the Sea Hag in Palm Springs, CA, New Year’s Eve, 12-31-1992. Flyer art designed by Scott Hill (I think).

IMDb/FILM FACTS:

The original story ends slightly differently. After helping the robot to revive Klaatu, a newsman asks it to be sure to tell its masters that Klaatu's death was an unfortunate accident. The robot responds, "You are mistaken. I am the master."

Klaatu assures Professor Barnhardt that "such power exists" to eliminate the Earth if necessary. What is not mentioned in the script is that mass invasions like "War of the Worlds" or "Invaders from Mars" would not be needed; that Gort by himself could do the job. In fact, in the original story the robots were the rulers.

Klaatu tells Professor Barnhardt that once the Earth brings nuclear weapons into space it becomes a threat to the other planets, as if it was a basic fact that intelligent life lived throughout the solar system. At the time the film was made the first astronaut to enter space was still almost 10 years away, and the idea of intelligent life on the other planets, or even the moon, was still an acceptable concept.

"The Day the Earth Stood Still" (1951) was also known as "Farewell to the Master" and "Journey to the World."

My favorite Jovians

Klaatu gets to keep his helmet on because the idea of everyone thinking he’s human after he just changes his outfit was funny to me. And he takes it off in the elevator and he’s just a normal guy and THATS when Helen is like omg… you ARE the spaceman…
