No dialog, but looks very interesting. I really love the painting on the wall.

 

[Kchunda]

Interesting.

 

[Rat Boy]

Did we lose another pet?

 

[Sharr Khan]

I love the Spot portrait in the background!
Shatner gets his cameo, via hologram LOL!

Curious...

I like seeing the old Data's painting of Spot again. As well as the holofile record of the Shatner Kirk as he appeared in the TOS timeframe.

Is there a nightclub on the Enterprise? the upper left panel looks like they're watching a stand up routine.

Ever heard of Ten Forward ?

Had forgotten about that - Did we ever see the Enterprise-E's version?

Nope!

Not once in three movies over the course of six years.

I assume the 1701-E and other Sovereign-class ships have Ten Forward lounges or their equivalents. Seems sensible given the greater size of the newer Enterprise and her ability to carry just as many people if not more.

I remember seeing it at least in Insurrection at the beginning, were they were wearing those white formal uniforms and had to meet the Evora (?) delegation.

IIRC from the cutaway poster put out several years back it's actually 'Eleven Forward' on the E.

I guess THIS Enterprise has an even bigger duck or hamster than the last one, then.

 

[Cky]

May be nothing, but the first panel that is being looked at, the very last thing in the that is denied access is named "Memory Alpha"

 

[cooleddie74]

Cool! That planetoid was a major repository of information even in the TOS era, and it would make sense it would still be around in some form or another over a century later. Even bigger and more impressive. The Library of Congress, if you will, of the Federation.

That painting of Spot is actually from on screen, I think it's from GENERATIONS but i'm not sure. It's in the book "The Art of Star Trek".

Looks interesting. Nero seems to be interested in Kirk for some reason...

I think the painting was first seen in "Data's Day" or another TNG episode and was reused in the background in GENERATIONS. It's been seen more than once.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

I don't like Data's new uniform. Damn it, this movie will be teh Suck.

 

[The Wormhole]

I haven't gotten around to reading the first comic book yet, but has it been explained yet how Data has come back from the dead? Did Geordi re-build him using quantum mechanics or something?

No, it hasn't been explained yet.

They probably had to bypass the transaxial thermal array and recalibrate the deflector dish first.
