More importantly, rather than blowing up two perfectly good stars, why didn’t the nutcase just get hold of a small shuttle and fly into the nexus?
The Soran device was a silly plotline anyways. Collapse a star, cool! Doesn’t change the mass that’s there, though. Nexus rumbles on by…
IIRC, it was established that this wouldn’t work.
Hell, it worked at the beginning of the movie. They didn’t do it deliberately, but still…
I think that was the reason. You had to let it take you. You just jump into it.
It worked that way for everyone who was in the nexus. They got there because their ships flew into the nexus. HUGE flaw that ruined the move for me actually. Plus having Kirk die in so mundane a fashon. He deserved better than that.
