Oh well. At least they have names. Over at the competition with Kenobi (spoilers for Star Wars)Seems weird. Not saying what the names actually are (like it's a big mystery to reveal later), and having posters designed, manufactured and displayed with incorrect names. Yawhat?
The same posters have the 2009 Enterprise on them and not the SNW one. I guess they're not checking them too closelySeems weird. Not saying what the names actually are (like it's a big mystery to reveal later), and having posters designed, manufactured and displayed with incorrect names. Yawhat?
Can mods PLEAE fix the spelling in the thread title? It's S'chn T'gai
Yes but look at the poster itselfTaken from trekcore

Well, your forum display says you hail from Canada. Tell me, can you pronounce 'Shawn' differently from 'John' and 'Quran' as various accents in the world do? And if you can, what does that say about all the North Americans who cannot?Unpronounceable indeed.
Jeepers, we coulda been calling him "Shawn" this whole time?

It's not canon unless it's on screen. And it's said to be unpronounceable. Thus if it's pronounced on screen it's not unpronounceable.![]()
And ignores some early novels and tie ins which gave him the name Geoffrey.
Trek-ed that for you.![]()
Reminds me of "John Harrison is not Khan."Seems weird. Not saying what the names actually are (like it's a big mystery to reveal later), and having posters designed, manufactured and displayed with incorrect names. Yawhat?

Check Diane's acknowledgment page for The Wounded Sky. Next to Rotsler's name, she has him saying in a parenthetical statement ("His middle name is Edward. You want his serial number?")
Rotsler's book was published in December, 1982. Duane's was published in December, 1983.
Why couldn't they just leave TOS and everything in that era alone ... it's getting worse and worse!
Would it bother fans if the writers made the Enterprise to be named after someone, as their last name?
Bob Enterprise, maybe? Or Gene Enterprise?![]()
Were you upset in the 80's when Pocketbooks came up with Hikaru and Nyota too?Why couldn't they just leave TOS and everything in that era alone ... it's getting worse and worse!
Why has the thread title not been fixed by a mod?
Yay!My first official duty. Scary!
What's getting worse and worse? They are expanding upon an era with limited information and a lot of fan assumption.Why couldn't they just leave TOS and everything in that era alone ... it's getting worse and worse!
In what way does revealing a first name that was already said to exist alter the character? It's just a bit of background filling in the blanks for eagle-eyed fans, not a significant change to the character. They're not going to start calling him by this name.Why couldn't they just leave TOS and everything in that era alone ... it's getting worse and worse!
