[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] It would be strange to leave Earth defenseless while you attack a neighboring Empire, since they would send out a general message to eradicate humanity to every ship in the empire, who would then beeline to Earth to be the first on the scene, with Earth's pants down. But my main contention was that the Khan battle occurred between Earth and the moon (they even used them as backdrop), so sensors and alerts on Earth, the moon, and Mars should have gone off like a christmas tree, and Khan intentionally set his ship on a Kamikaze-run towards SFHQ, and there is no reason the Vengeance's warp core shouldn't have exploded and taken out the entire coast (it landed ON the engineering hull, getting Alcatraz on it), so the threat was entirely real. This shouldn't have been able to happen on another day; a ship catastrophically explodes in high orbit and then starts accelerating towards the most important building complex on Earth [i]13 movie-minutes later[/i] (much longer in-universe) and no one cares. Transports, global security, science vessels, not a peep. I felt it broke immersion, is all. This is why I hope the writers of SW:TFA have a just a teensy bit more care for cause and effect, logic and consequence. [/QB][/QUOTE]
