Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

Who says it isn’t? My theory was it can only go to the LMC and back


Because it’s not important.



There’s nothing wrong with that.

If I say I’m going from Toronto to Berlin I don’t need to explain how I’m getting there.

Or the plaque’s info is simply nonsense that nobody was going to see on screen anyway, and doesn’t need any deeper analysis than that.
 
If you say so. To me, nonsense info in illegible background material is nonsense info in illegible background material.
In the original version of the TNG episode "The Neutral Zone," an illegible list of names on a family tree of one of the displaced humans included Kermit T Frog, Miss Piggy, and several actors from Dr. Who and TNG itself. Names were changed with the remastered version, but I guess they were "canon" for a while since they were onscreen. :hugegrin:

Well I tried to come up with some convoluted explanation for why Claire Raymond's ancestors were a talking pig and a talking frog hand puppet, but I just can't.
 
Some people choose aliases to preserve their anonymity as a compromise for storing their information in public records. Or some hacker messed with the system and it wasn't ever corrected.

Well, Spock did note that records of the period are fragmentary.
 
That's complete speculation, they never went into detail how the drive worked in 'Hope and Fear'.

So no, it wasn't an oversight for them to follow the only canon information available on how slipstream drives work.

If you want an actual legitimate oversight with on screen facts backing it up, it was said in Voyager that benamite crystals can be synthesized. In the 24th century it would take years, but surely by the 32nd Century they could have found a way a faster way to do it.
Someone forgot that Voyager was capable of utilizing slipstream in Hope and Fear without a quantum drive.

The problem was the ship wasn't made for it so the quantum stresses on the ships hull caused cumulative damage that put the ship at risk.



AFAIK nothing with the power generating level of a matter/anti-matter reaction or a singularity drive, so they'd be limited to very slow speeds.
Yes, but that would have led to a contraction of space travel, not the complete secession we saw in Discovery.

And as Strange New Worlds just showed, those other methods could potentially reach ToS warp speeds.
 
Hello,
New to this Star Trek forum. Glad to be here. Long time Trekkie here.

I'm looking forward to this show. I like it when Star Trek covers new ground and introduces new characters, but also acknowledges some previous things from the previous shows or films.

Things I'm look forward to most:
- Seeing the 32nd century
- Holly Hunter, Robert Picardo and Paul Giamatti. All good actors and they'll give the show some heft.
- Learning about all the new characters.

I hope the show is successful and has a solid run.
