best part of the movie--one of the few redeeming qualities in an admittedly quite-flawed star trek movie. fun part, though.
I think the most amusing thing is that it was Kirk asking the question, not the logical Spock. Then again, he was the only one who hadn't had his mind F'd over by Sybok by that point.
The religion of the director doesn't enter into it. The question stands, What does God need with a Starship? If God is Omnipotent, then why does he act as if he was limited? Who is limiting him? Is he limiting himself? Why does god work in mysterious ways? Why are his thoughts and motivations not made clear? What does God need with a Starship?
@3234718 No I just like to be entertained at the theater, not preached to. This Star Trek nothing but that and because it had an atheist message is no exception.
@ajones35 It's difficult to understand you without, ya know, proper grammar and syntax, but what I assume your point is: that this movie somehow preached atheism, is extraordinarily foolish.
@ajones35 Then you have not seen this "episode". This is hardly atheist stuff. Other than it has one moment where one guy doubts this guy is god. If you had seen this "episode" you would know it does have a religious message. Especially at the end.
@ajones35 Actually it did not have an atheist message. This MOVIE was written and directed by William Shatner who is a devote JEW! Bill's point of the movie was that it doesn't matter if we ever find God the person in our life time; it is the quest that brings us closer to God. God is in all of us. You might say that Sybock looked for God and found the Devil and by finding the devil he proved that God exists.
@ajones35 "Shatner is not a Jew" LOL It's a good thing He did not here that! Try this video made by Shatner for the Holyday season, "William Shatner - Funny Jewish Commercial" here on YouTube. And next time do your research before you decide to make an ass out of yourself!
@ajones35 Judaism is a religion not blood line! Num nuts! Also your research is incomplete and 10 years out of date!!! Did you watch the video? By your moronic reply I can tell the answer is no. WATCH THE VIDEO! Again it's called "William Shatner - Funny Jewish Commercial"!
@ajones35 Bondfreek is right. Shatner loved his faith when he made Star Trek V and he returned to practicing it about 3 years ago. Shatner always believed in God! Bill loves his animals and misses every single one that died. The only part of the Jewish faith he had trouble with was the idea that only people go to heaven.
@vomisacaasi Really? I would say it definitely carries a "God message". But I would say it carries a lot of other ideas too. Assisted suicide, free thinking, murder, trust in strangers, friendship, etc. I still think it had a weak but still underlying tone of God in the movie.
"Horrifying. Dr. Barron, your report describes how rational these people are. Millennia ago, they abandoned their belief in the supernatural. Now you are asking me to sabotage that achievement, to send them back into the dark ages of superstition and ignorance and fear? NO!"
Plus I need solid evidence, facts, or proof before I believe in it. Btw I'm an atheist, there are some things that I'm just very skeptic about but I'm still pretty open-minded about other things as well.
@TheStarTreker Well, it's not a problem. As I cannot prove the stuff that I have experienced over the years, I couldn't expect you to believe me on the basis of blind faith. But the religious people expect you to follow them on the basis of nothing more than blind faith.
He doesn't. That's just an alien pretending to be god. But, now that I think about it, what does a non corporeal alien need with a starship? Can't he just... float away or something?
@Tarynus err, q would be a good example of how a good starfleet officer deals with a situation like this. you didn't see picard peeing himself when confronted with something apparently omnipotent, and sisko punched him in the face. (or course after being invited to do so, but he still did it)
@Tarynus i'm not a treker or whatever myself. what quote are you talking about? my reply was just stating that a good officer in starfleet wouldn't immediately think diety. they would instead like any man of science question. i simply don't understand your post. and i doubt sisko was following orders beyond "beware of q and his games" maybe. q set him up for old school fisticuffs match and sisko knocked him out. but that is because his name is benjamin sisko, middle name, don't fuck with the.
Now this god doesn't need a starship, But he does want it so he can brag to the other gods about how they have all these unique powers but do they have a bitchin Starship? I THINK NOT!!! >:D
What does god need with a starship? Just like weirdos who regard god (where applicable) as male. If god is male then god has a penis. What does god need with a penis? I'm really afraid to find out.
Hey just because you do not like a comment does not mean it is spam. Knock it off. I do not mean just on this video I see it all across youtube. Are people who do this idiots or something?
Anyone remember the episode of TNG where Barclay becomes super Brainiac and brings the Enterprise to the center of the galaxy to meet a powerful entity?
I like to think Sybok's "God" here was a criminal from the same race and imprisoned. Both entities hae shown the ability to reach out to other races and affect their minds to give them the ability to bring them to where they are.
gods answer would be Well im not all powerful. But i am all knowing! well kinda.. acually im some dude name joe who works at a use car lot now give me your spaceship!
I was a Die Hard Star Trek Fan of the Original Series. It took until year 3 of the Next Generation to warm to that Show. Half of Deep Space Nine 7 Voyager were a Waste. That last series was just awful. Once again, Raw Hard Die Hard Action which people here on Earth like what we saw in Star Trek 11 is what brought the audiences in . Next Generation , like all the newer shows had "The Curse" of the Original Series to avoid. Each show tried to not be like TOS & Failed. They ended up copying TOS...
Star Trek 5's Opening was Great. But after that the Mountain Climbing scene should have been delayed after the Credits, so the New Starship Enterprise-2 could be seen in Mid-Battle with Multiple Klingon Warships taking a Heavy Beating and Dishing it out Just as Hard and Winning the Battle. Until she proves she has the "Right Stuff" On Screen for the Audience to see, then the she is the Enterprise in Name only. Without that , No Passion, No Pep and Vigor, Big Deal about her : ( Dull Movie.
@terrywest111 The Enterprise-2 Proving itself in Star Trek 5 was Mostly Conceptual. All it did was handle one Torpedo Attack at th end of the movie, and it got thru the Energy Storms at the " Center of the Galaxy..."
Which is nothing like what the First Enetrprise went thru in the Battle of the Mutara Nebula in Trek 2, Seven Years earlier. The Earlier Enterprise endured that Battle in the Nebula with no Shielding. The Stress from the Clouds was Damaging it's Hull and Airframe.
@roman14032 Not Really, Actually. You are Right. It is All B/S.
They Show us an Educated Uncorrupted World with No Greed, Deception,or Lies or Wars for Big Industry Profit, No Unemployment or even any Layoffs of any kind, with No Discrimination or even Reverse Discrimination. What Nonsense.. ......
Great scene! I actually kind of love this movie even though it was also kind of bad. It felt more like old Trek than a lot of the others (which admittedly were much more well thought out, better quality movies)
@HiopX I'm a sci-fi fan though not a huge one and I do believe in God though I don't really belong to any religion. Me personally, there's a higher power up there that I believe I'll have to answer to
@SpockNation so he had some other guy write the book that says "Here you go. I'm awesome, you're not, and by the way, don't scew up" and somehow that changes things? sorry but I'm not following.
@Commandodude Now, I'm not going to wack you over the head with a Bible, or argue with you, because you're entitled to your own beliefs. But I will ask you this: would you be more inclined to believe in what the Bible says if God himself had claimed the glory for writing the book?
@Commandodude I do believe God wrote the entire Bible through men. "Divine inspiration" as I call it. Yes, it wasn't written in a day, and yes, it was written by many different people, over a large span of time. In fact, the Bible is mostly like a history book of the Israelites, and the history of Jesus.
@clemstevenson God can write. He put the Ten Commandments on the stone tablets. He just chose to write the Bible THROUGH man. It's like a carpenter hammering nails into a wooden board. He uses a tool (the hammer) to get the nails into the board, much like God uses man as a tool to do His will.
@SpockNation Then god was stupid. If you want to use a tool to hammer nails into wood. You use a hammer. Not a rock.
So, did God write the bible through every man that cobbled it together? Because you do know it wasn't written by one man right? Or when Jesus was alive? Did he help all those other men translate the bible? Every single time?
@CommandoDude haha the real funny thing is i jsut got home from building a frost wall and starting to frame ou the rest of the walls today =) no nail gun so everything was nailed by hand..
@CorvidDude I strongly sense that 'God' already has a fleet of star ships :) Whilst Star Trek is a popular fiction, I also have good reason to propose that William Shatner, himself, is aware of the reality.
@signa8 nope. Not with Decker. Not with Spock and Saavik. Certainly not with the space dock crew intent on decommissioning her. After going into withdrawls for the ten minutes after he destroyed the first Enterprise, he violenced the hell out of some Klingons to steal their ship. Not with Sybok. Not with God. Then not with that chump who had Enterprise B. I bet he'd try to steal Picard's ship too if he had the chance.
Wow, I didn't think about it that deeply, but yeah, Kirk loves his ship a little too much. I should watch the intro to Generations again and see if he did anything directly to rip the hull off of B. I bet he had some hand in it.
I can only begin to imagine Shatner's angst when the visual effects for these scenes came back from the fx house. Shatner: "Well it's ok the rockman didn't pan out because Bran Ferren said he cooked up some good fx for the faux god! Let's watch!" Shatner then calls up Associates and Ferren. Shatner: "Ferren, you filthy blood sucker! You completely missed the target! Do you hear me? Do you?" Ferren: "Unless you have more money, you're buried alive!" Shatner: "Feeerrrrrrreeeeeeeeen!"
Well its not about what God needs. Its what he uses. We don't need a TV remote to turn the channel yet we create 1 for convenience. We don't need vehicles we can walk. Of course, when ur God u can do what u want. Kirk shouldn't question LOL.
But the bible does seem to elude that God and his angels use chariots of fire or Wheels in the middle of a wheel. Does God need these things. No, but does he need heaven? Does he need to create? Does he need to exist? Theres more to God then the spiritual.
What does the 'God' of religion have to do with "us", or the universe, or reality? Religion has given us the 'mythological' meanings of things rather than the 'etymological' meaning of things. This has fostered in people an unrealistic picture of what 'God" really is,, what the 'angels' are, and what 'heaven' really is. God as a holy ghost or spirit does not need a ship. God as a material ET probably needs a ship. If God is an ET, then who are we and what are we worshipping?
Did you even WATCH the damn movie? At the end, McCoy asks, "Is God really out there?" Kirk informs him, "Maybe he not out there, Bones. He's right here." *Points to self*
Thus, Kirk proved the so-called 'god concept' by showing that HE is God.
.....which just proves........smart deities dont need to be ethereal........smart dieties travel in Galaxy class space vessels!! "The only way to go!" After all........who needs to be ubiquitous when you have a trans warp drive?
Why does God need humans? they don't believe in life ,and like most people say ''who cares'' i say destroy everything, and every wicked one. Then there will be heaven on earth.
If there is a God or not--and really it shouldn't matter, live this life first and to its fullest, since you only get one, and worry about an afterlife after death--but I agree...
If there's a God--what does he need with a starship?
And a House? And money? And a book?
And people KILLING EACH OTHER over that book?
Faith is a beautiful thing--so let your fellow man believe what he wants, and you do the same...in your own homes, with your own money, no wars!
Of course God could trap himself. And then he could free himself. Since he is God and can do anything. As a human can. You can trap yourself by handcuffs. Then you can take the key and unlock them and release yourself. I think the bigger issue is, how many humans would dare ask the question that captain Kirk asks?. That is the good about many people that they do not just except what its said and what it sees they also question it.
God: God needs a starship to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before....(god winks at the camera)
Shatner, you nearly killed the movie franchise (and perhaps all of Trek) with this film, it's horrible, it was an OK idea, Enterprise looks for God, but it was just so awful...and you made Chekov, Sulu, and Uhura look like jerks and idiots when they were right at Kirk's side in his adventures, it was just AWFUL...
But this line...doesn't make up for it, but at least it's something...
Keep on Trekking, folks! (Right on to Trek VI!) :)
Lol, it's strange but this is the only Star Trek movie I haven't seen so far... I keep hearing how bad it is but I guess I'll have to watch it some day. On a side-note I think that VI and VIII were my favorites.
@AnotherSchmoe What! How could anybody forget about Khan? He is the best villain ever created, and (SPOILER) Spock's death scene is the most beautifully done in the universe.
I guess I'll forgive you, since you eventually remembered. LOL
Obviously he's going to trick it out and pick up chicks with it, why else would anyone want a starship?

@Commandodude I do believe God wrote the entire Bible through men. "Divine inspiration" as I call it. Yes, it wasn't written in a day, and yes, it was written by many different people, over a large span of time. In fact, the Bible is mostly like a history book of the Israelites, and the history of Jesus.

I was under the impression that the Bible story of the issuing of the commandments involved god landing on mount sinai in his "chariot"...

@clemstevenson God can write. He put the Ten Commandments on the stone tablets. He just chose to write the Bible THROUGH man. It's like a carpenter hammering nails into a wooden board. He uses a tool (the hammer) to get the nails into the board, much like God uses man as a tool to do His will.
SpockNation 10 months ago
@SpockNation Then god was stupid. If you want to use a tool to hammer nails into wood. You use a hammer. Not a rock.
So, did God write the bible through every man that cobbled it together? Because you do know it wasn't written by one man right? Or when Jesus was alive? Did he help all those other men translate the bible? Every single time?
I don't believe it.

@signa8 nope. Not with Decker. Not with Spock and Saavik. Certainly not with the space dock crew intent on decommissioning her. After going into withdrawls for the ten minutes after he destroyed the first Enterprise, he violenced the hell out of some Klingons to steal their ship. Not with Sybok. Not with God. Then not with that chump who had Enterprise B. I bet he'd try to steal Picard's ship too if he had the chance.
What a selfish bastard! X-D

Wow, I didn't think about it that deeply, but yeah, Kirk loves his ship a little too much. I should watch the intro to Generations again and see if he did anything directly to rip the hull off of B. I bet he had some hand in it.

I can only begin to imagine Shatner's angst when the visual effects for these scenes came back from the fx house. Shatner: "Well it's ok the rockman didn't pan out because Bran Ferren said he cooked up some good fx for the faux god! Let's watch!" Shatner then calls up Associates and Ferren. Shatner: "Ferren, you filthy blood sucker! You completely missed the target! Do you hear me? Do you?" Ferren: "Unless you have more money, you're buried alive!" Shatner: "Feeerrrrrrreeeeeeeeen!"

Well its not about what God needs. Its what he uses. We don't need a TV remote to turn the channel yet we create 1 for convenience. We don't need vehicles we can walk. Of course, when ur God u can do what u want. Kirk shouldn't question LOL.
But the bible does seem to elude that God and his angels use chariots of fire or Wheels in the middle of a wheel. Does God need these things. No, but does he need heaven? Does he need to create? Does he need to exist? Theres more to God then the spiritual.
MinWilliamJosephWWM 1 year ago
What does the 'God' of religion have to do with "us", or the universe, or reality? Religion has given us the 'mythological' meanings of things rather than the 'etymological' meaning of things. This has fostered in people an unrealistic picture of what 'God" really is,, what the 'angels' are, and what 'heaven' really is. God as a holy ghost or spirit does not need a ship. God as a material ET probably needs a ship. If God is an ET, then who are we and what are we worshipping?

Even Kirk owns the god concept. This proves conclusively that there is no god. All religion is false. You fail.

Did you even WATCH the damn movie? At the end, McCoy asks, "Is God really out there?" Kirk informs him, "Maybe he not out there, Bones. He's right here." *Points to self*
Thus, Kirk proved the so-called 'god concept' by showing that HE is God.

If there is a God or not--and really it shouldn't matter, live this life first and to its fullest, since you only get one, and worry about an afterlife after death--but I agree...
If there's a God--what does he need with a starship?
And a House? And money? And a book?
And people KILLING EACH OTHER over that book?
Faith is a beautiful thing--so let your fellow man believe what he wants, and you do the same...in your own homes, with your own money, no wars!
So sayeth God, er, Kirk! ;)

Of course God could trap himself. And then he could free himself. Since he is God and can do anything. As a human can. You can trap yourself by handcuffs. Then you can take the key and unlock them and release yourself. I think the bigger issue is, how many humans would dare ask the question that captain Kirk asks?. That is the good about many people that they do not just except what its said and what it sees they also question it.

The ONLY truly awesome moment in the film...
Shatner, you nearly killed the movie franchise (and perhaps all of Trek) with this film, it's horrible, it was an OK idea, Enterprise looks for God, but it was just so awful...and you made Chekov, Sulu, and Uhura look like jerks and idiots when they were right at Kirk's side in his adventures, it was just AWFUL...
But this line...doesn't make up for it, but at least it's something...
Keep on Trekking, folks! (Right on to Trek VI!) :)
