Hey, I never noticed that before....

It appears to have the gunsight "window" on the front edge.

 

I thought it was just a distraction to ease the tension. Chill everyone.

I noticed it but never thought he was holding it backwards just weirdly like he has to keep it close or something. Like he was super concerned.

 

That explains why the photo in TMOST shows internal parts! I've always wondered what that was about, and suspected they faked the image to make it look like a "real" phaser. Nope. I've wondered that since I was a little kid.

Naturally, the Photobucket free account banner takes a perfect dump on my image:


Let's see if I can fix that:

 

What was Captain Pike doing on Space Station K-7?

 

Turns out living with Vina wasn't all it's cracked up to be.

 

Can't quite make it out, but it looks like it could be the Antares insignia from "Charlie X."

 

Yep. Pike high tailed it off Talos and joined the Merchant Fleet.

 

I agree, but I didn’t want to speak ill of the late scienceprobevesseltransport Antares and the deserter who overstayed his liberty.

 

Once outside of the Talosian influence Pike would have reverted to being a cripple in his wheelchair with a battery driven heart! That or it was Chris's younger brother, Jeffrey Henry Herman McInnies Pike!

We know they can influence minds out to Starbase 11. There may not be a limit: could be infinite. Side note: their mind power reaches many lightyears with no time delay. What are the range and the speed of thought?

Jeffrey Hunter (born Henry Herman "Hank" McKinnies Jr.). To be exact, JB: you missed "Hank" and "Jr."; last name has a "K". I had to look it up on the net cause you confuse me.

 

Surely Hank is Henry anyway? So was his actual name Henry Herman Henry McKinnies Jr or just Jeff Hunter?
Well I'm glad I confuse you, Henoch, proves I'm good at something then!

Spock was able to sense the Intrepid’s destruction and V’ger over many light years, I guess that psi-abilities in Trek must manifest through subspace or something.

 

He's a series regular in Discovery, right?

 

Einstein's "spooky action at a distance."

 

So they tell me, Phase, but Chris Hunter died nearly fifty years back!
JB

 

Who?

 

Henry McInnies Jr, Nerys, who used to act under the name of Jeffrey Hunter and whose most famous character after Jesus was Capt.Christopher Pike of Star Trek fame!
JB

 

I heard Pike was Spock's bro. Twice removed. Or something. No? (I haven't seen any of this season of DISC yet - all kidding aside I hope that it is good.)

 

No that was Jeff Pike.
