Enterprise C got stuck in the wrong time!

[Holdfast]

Ah okay thanks for that then. One could argue then that the reason they weren't able to determine what happened to the Enterprise-C in their time line is because the incident that happened in our time line cause theirs didn't happen in theirs. It is possible that their Enterprise C was lost in the line of duty some other way though I won't dispute that. The point of Yesterday's Enterprise though in my opinion is what I mentioned before with Guinian's line that the whole thing was wrong. It was never meant to exist in the first place.

Okay. this statement is ignorant and borderline moronic. The reason they didn't know about the incident because the Enterprise C TIME TRAVELLED 20 years into the future.....

Temporal mechanics already gives me enough of a headache, without my also having to determine whether posts like this count as flaming or not.

I fully accept that you have phrased it carefully so the statement is classed as "ignorant and borderline moronic" rather than classing the poster as that, so technically it's fine. But I'd ask - purely as a fellow poster rather than as a mod, since this request is largely unenforceable by the rules (unless it becomes a really consistent/long-term pattern leading to a cumulative effect, which it isn't in your case) - to consider how the other party may feel when throwing around such strong statements as that. The TNG forum - certainly compared to some of the other forums on the board - is generally pretty laid-back and friendly, as you know.

I wasn't offended by the posters comments to my statement just was baffled as to why they made those specific comments.

^^you are right, Holdfast. I normally don't care about stuff like that. It was an off week in RL for me. I apologize even if no offense was taken.

I always wondered, where were the temporal police (Capt. Braxton, Daniels, etc.) during events like Yesterday's Enterprise?

Also, with all of the super weapons the Federation has laying around ( Doomsday Machine, Genesis Device, Organians, etc.) how could the Klingons defeat the Federation?

 

[Finn]

Um. There was probably only one genesis device. They killed the doomsday machine and the organians are a people, not property of the Federation.

Seeing how the temporal paradox resolved itself in YE, the Time Police likely didn't see the point in resolving it themselves.

A war as long as the Federation Klingon War probably prohibited the funding for a terraform project as ambitious and as big as Genesis.

I think Data had it right when he said that if they were successful, they would be unaware of the changes. The change was so big, Picard had no recollection to report to temporal investigations; and since everything changed, without anyone knowing it happened, TI would have nothing to investigate.

Yep as soon as the paradox resolved its self and the time line was restored there would have been no point for the DIT to investigate this incident since none of the crew remembered it.

See, it's posts like these two that make being a mod in TNG no work at all. Thanks guys.

I think I found a flaw in my own theory. Once Sela was discovered the true story of the 1701C would have been reported to Starfleet Command through Picard's Captain's Log. Then TI would at least do a cursory investigation.

YE may not have been a predestination Paradox. I think it was, but since it might not have TI would have to investigate.
