Search results for query: delta memo (refine your search)

According to some sources, Herb Solow had sent out a memo with the script for "The Menagerie" two-parter, with a request for Hunter to reprise the role for the bookend segments. When it was refused, then it was devised for Pike to have been disfigured by Delta Rays.

For me the original intent of the costume designer is now moot as they intentionally made separate ship patches later (even if they were inconsistant with that detail, I imagine in some cases like the Officers in "The Court Martial" or the TOS footage of the Defiant it was considered a small...

This one so blurs the line between the in-universe story and the real life reason that he can't undo the Abramsverse, that I'm not sure what to make of it, since Spock Prime would do the same thing regardless of whether it fit or not. The red matter wasn't designed to be a time machine, so all...

New variable of the red matter. The “Many Worlds” model exists within Trek lore, which means whatever means are used to create quantum realities are impacted by the artificial gravitational effect of growing so quickly. As you say, it has precedent, even if it hasn’t been explored in Trek...

Random thought; even cops and official vehicles need license plates and registration......

I don't think the Antares and her crew have officially been determined to be Starfleet. (I wonder what office would determine such things?) I think the re-use of the old-style uniforms was done 1) to save money and 2) using an alternative uniform style for officers who might plausibly be of...

Didn't Chak say it?

Berman got the map inverted. When I first got here, they insisted that the map of the milkyway in my encyclopaedia was wrong... but it's hard to prove that any one was ever that stupid since history has been Orwelled better than I can google. oh look Berman knew that there were Borg in the...

Excellent. Excellent! :techman: Now I've got the urge to go watch this. It's been awhile.

"It knows only that it needs, Commander. But, like so many of us, it does not know what." --Mr. Spock Much has been made of Star Trek: The Motion Picture's debt to the second season Star Trek episode "The Changeling." The basic outline is all but identical: earth space probe encounters advanced...

Wow! Really cool stuff here. Wish we could hear from okuda directly. Lovely thread. Thanks all.

Probably because folks like Mike Okuda, who "came up" through fandom thought all ships had unique emblems. Until the Justman memo came to light, I think 99.9% of fandom thought that. I know I did. The myth about posing the bodies on the Defiant to hide the delta took root decades ago and I'm...

Please feel free to help yourself and check out the "Tholian Web" screencaps at Trekcore. The one thing that is obvious, is that they carefully positioned the overwhelming majorities of extras in a fashion to hide the insignia. That's a red thread from Defiant's bridge down to sickbay and from...

Actually I think that what we saw or actually didn't see in "The Tholian Web" was a straight result from this memo. All the extras were positioned not to show the insignia (two bodies in sickbay, however, show the delta). Either that's a compromise they agreed upon to appease Bob Justman or he...

I think that's a very likely reason, regardless of whether it was Bill's idea or not. Maurice provided a plausible reason for the first half: "The Omega Glory" got special attention, because it was Gene's baby. If you buy that explanation, that just leaves the other half. I sorta suspect that...

The fan speculation is fine regarding the reason for the different patches, but I think the real reason is just what I postulated: Bill Theiss wanted to create unique designs that visually confirmed "this guy is not from the Enterprise." Two unanswered questions that I don't know if we'll...

I'm happy they didn't mess with Mendez' secretary. Would you also recommend they should have changed the deltas / arrowheads on the uniforms of Kirk's "friends" in "Court Martial"? Mendez' secretary could have just been in charge of starship-only affairs, hence the delta / arrowhead. Where...

UT:TFV – Part III – Infinities Unbound (Chapter 3 cont'd) Chapter Three <cont'd> USS Europa The holodeck had been laid out in an exacting replica of Europa’s briefing room, as to make best use of the chamber’s holographic capabilities. Lieutenant(j.g.) Lightner was making his first...

Briefing? Hell no. Every Captain, all the tens of thousands of them, was sent a memo they probably didn't read. Tens of thousands of Federation Star Ship Captains receiving and sending hundreds of memos every day. It's question of scale. In the Best of Both Worlds, the loss of 37 ships was...
