Are we not entirely replaced through cell division many times in our lives anyway? If so having the transporter create new ones would seem like little difference.

Starfleet's new shuttle-pod left a lot to be desired in the way of protection, but the view was great.

A sub-forum to the TOS forum perhaps?

The Kirk at the beginning of the film is clearly not very happy with retirement, and looks quite satsfied when he sits in the Captains chair of the Enterprise-B. Scotty's Line 'Finding retirement a little lonely are we?' then Kirks defensive resort to humor give the strong implication that its...

Re: How having Shatner in Trek XII can keep Kirk alive in Prime Univer This relies too much on the specifics of a previous film to be workable. Besides I never thought the nexus was a good device once round never mind a second. I also dont think tieing Kirk prime in enhances the legitimacy of...

To remember frying some eggs nine years prior means its got to be a bit more momentus than that. I dont recall Kirk having a photographic memory! The implication is that the relationship was ended by his returning to starfleet. Antonia would have to not know Kirk very well if he was on a couple...

Would Kirk's brief retirement featued in Generations not fit in there? However it does seem a bit odd that he would then resolve to return to starfleet simply to supervise cadet training ships, which seems about as boring as whatever it was that pushed him to retire in the first place. But I...

Alex Salmond, First Minister of Scotland and leader of the Scottish Nationalist Party is a Voyager fan there is not really any more but here is the article: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/elections/news/article/salmond-boldly-praises-star-trek/N0048141272294086993A Unfortunately its still not enough...

It seems to be fairly generally accepted that TWOK is 2285, TMP dates range from 2272 to 2277. In either event there seems room for a second five year mission.

There dosent seem to me to be any reason we cant have a traditional warpcore that all that brewery stuff feeds into; it clearly wasnt a convoluted warpcore itself, no-one would survive contact with a matter/antimatter reaction or even its antimatter or deuterium constituant parts. We probably...

Its the interstellar wrecker ball for the construction company that built the Dyson sphere - that sure needs several solar systems worth of material. Or its working for Magrathea; removing your old planet to make way for your new one.

The similarities are only very superficial. The main themes of TWOK, Revenge, Old Age & Loss are entirely absent from The Far Side of the World. [Note Ill call it by its subtitle as its far closer to that book than Master and Commander, hence the use of Surprise rather than Sophie]. The...

Im a great fan of Star Trek II, it's probably my favorite Trek film. But I dont think Master and Commander is borrowing from it, plot elements of at least half a dozen Patrick O'Brien books yes, certainly not just 'Master and Commander' or 'The Far Side of the World', but the similarities come...

I think NCC simply means cruiser. Cruiser meaning long range ship, able to cruise at warp 5 for 72 hours or something, such a criterion would have made it quite special at the beginning of starfleet but failed to move with technology so by the 24th century even a runabout can be a cruiser...

^ Surely thats the Motto for the floating office. "Out there. ... Thataway."

Well Memory Alpha gives 24 (less 4 known destroyed) including those listed as 'uncertain.' Of which, since we are on the topic, many of them come from the Operation Retrieve briefing - a paper briefing? I wonder if the president had difficulties specifically with reading computer screens. Meyer...

All of this is assuming that they were decommissioned permanently at all, it is not uncommon for ships to drift in and out of commission as the situation demands. If there were only 12(13 with A) (a hotly debated issue I know) and in mothballs, to not encounter them in TNG would be no surprise...

They still had to get back! That would make perfect sense in line with Cartwrights comments on scrapping the fleet if it wasnt for the fact that the Constitution class were obviously Starfleet's premier long range exploration vessels before Excelsior came along. Peace with the Klingons surely...

We only know Ent-A was decommissioned, that does not preclude being recommissioned under a new name and serving another 30 years. If new in 2286 we can probably assume she is the last of her class as the Excelsiors become the starship of choice therefore her active life would be shorter than the...

Except ofc that it was a flagship in TMP-TSFS as Admiral Kirk would have (theoretically) flown a flag. Although his grade reduction in TMP may exclude it, TWOK and the first part of TSFS certainly. I guess when Commodore Stocker commanded in "The Deadly Years" she was also a flagship, flying a...
