"Forcing" might have been a stronger word that I intended. But again, I just don't see that exchange as being actually meant to establish that visiting this bar is literally therapy for Scotty. I get the impression that would not have been the expectation, even in the 1960's.

I just don't see this as being a scene forcing any kind of norm upon the characters. To me, they just wanted to hang out in this certain bar and were saying what was in their minds, but obscuring it so as not to refer directly to what happened to Scotty that apparently injured him badly. I...

I did not view the arc in the way I think you are describing. I view the arc as Spock being emotionally tested and also that he "acts uncharacteristically" in all 3 episodes, even though the first it is due to an alien force in his body, the second is his own genetics, and the third is a...

I was not trying to rationalize it: Scotty never actually does anything in the episode that demonstrates his dislike of women, so I based my comment on the assumption that McCoy and Kirk are not fully describing what is happening. It makes more logical sense that way than taking their claim of...

Regarding the discussion of Scotty's amnesia and the targets of the violence, I'll repeat that in stardate order this episode is immediately after "The Changeling." Thus, Scotty has been healed by Nomad, and Kirk and McCoy don't know how or why Nomad was able to "repair" Scotty. Nor do they...

I used to think it was a contradiction because Brannon Braga even admits they put Scotty in the movie knowing that it was a contradiction, but finally it occurred to me that Scotty probably just didn't believe Kirk was really dead :)

I don't think the episode implies that Scotty's body did the killing. What I take from the episode is that Hengist was the killer. The entity also does not jump from body to body that rapidly, and picks the ship rather than switching from person to person. I don't think the episode means to...

As is narrated in the video game Star Trek Legacy, by the way it is described on the series, I always assumed that it was simply a disaster that eliminated some of the crew, and that Picard jumped in with authority to order actions to save the day. Obviously as an LT ot LTCMDR, Picard would not...

Yes, it's an absurd idea, but it was worth imagining :)

Interesting thought, because in a way, the Bridges used in ST:5 and ST:6 have some concepts in common TOS, with the large black areas, red trim, and areas that light up for use. I almost think that the Bridge seen briefly in Star Trek 4 should be ignored and assumed to be the one seen in Star...

They could, and many people have. Fans sometimes have different priorities than the designers, resulting in some pretty big differences between an official set and fan model. The big one is probably the durability of the constructed model. Lego wants to make sure that they can be played with...

Honestly, in Starfleet, a cruiser is pretty much equivalent to any other cruiser and the light/medium??/heavy designations could not mean much; if what we've seen in TOS is what Starfleet calls cruising, then it amounts to exploration and general patrol, which gives plenty of room for adventures...

From what I have seen around the internet, this situation you describe is not unusual for posts and video content about Lego products that are announcement before the final set has been designed. In some cases it may have been better for Lego to keep it a secret until the final set comes out...

I do think the Drake could be an older cruiser converted into a cargo carrier. The Wambundu class, which official sources claim is the Drake's class, is also called a Medical Transport, so I understood from things Micheal Okuda said in several official publications that each Warp Factor above...

Ok. Point taken on that. Then I expect Starfleet also needs an James R. Barker, James M. Schoonmaker, etc. :) Interesting where did that info come from. I noticed a typo in my prior post. It should have read, "It might also indcate that the letter suffixes were in use before the number...

Admittedly, that confidence in only my opinion, but there is no official Starship called Titanic either ;)

I understand that crew complement could be less now, but when I first saw the movie that was the impression that I was left with.

For me, series made after the end of Voyager are not necessarily part of the same continuity as those made before it, for a few reasons, and the original universe refers to the continuity of what was made from "The Cage" through either "First Contact" or "Nemesis," excluding the 2001 TV series...

I'm sure you meant to honor the crew and their ship (and the song), but I'm confident that Starfleet would not name a vessel after one of the most famous shipwrecks in history. My thinking on the registries: At first only Kirk's crew has done enough to earn keeping the same number with the...

Could you elaborate on what you feel does not fit in this case?
