    Registries and Conjectural classes

    For myself, some of the bigger issues with the ships from "Conspiracy" is that (a.) there is a ship with the registry NCC-42 and (b.) there are ships which seem to share the same registry. In the latter case, if a few ships did go through two or three name changes in a year, I have to ask...

    Scotty and his military comment

    I have read of former military personnel joining police forces. I have read of police receiving training from active and inactive military personnel. I have read of police receiving military equipment that has been modified for civilian use. I think the line between the two is becoming blurry.

    Registries and Conjectural classes

    The Zodiac-class Yorktown would have to be a ship commissioned after SD 42527. Around that stardate, there was a Yorktown with the registry of NCC-20045. The earliest that TMP could take place was 2272. Memory Alpha has settled, largely, on 2273. We learn in a Voyager episode that the five-year...

    Registries and Conjectural classes

    I am of the opinion that the Antares-class starship is no longer a conjectural class. I believe that there is now a design for this ship. For DS9, an Antares was built as a background ship. This ship had the registry NCC-9844, which places it below the NCC-10376 of the Hermes. In appearance...

    STID "tracking" for $85-90 million opening [U.S. box office]

    In my area, there are three cinemas that have showtime listings for Furious 6, and the film is still taking in money. For myself, I am happy to see films like The Heat doing so well. This film has made nearly a $100 million on a $43 million budget. Wow. Go Sandra!

    Scotty and his military comment

    I know that species, like the Organians, have evolved to the point where they can defend themselves without the use of militaries. But, have we seen a truly advanced civilization in Star Trek that didn't need a military?

    STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS - Grading & Discussion [SPOILERS]

    Although the geography of this movie is loose, the Enterprise was definitely not in Federation space. The starship was in the Neutral Zone or in Klingon space, depending on which source one puts greater credibility into. I am inclined to believe that having his ship breakdown forced Kirk's...

    Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors

    Re: TOS Enterprise Interiors -- Unreal 3 Engine Whatever those circular shapes on the front of the Constitution-class starships are, it is stated in the TOS-R that they numbered between two pairs of two (Lexington) and three (Enterprise).

    Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors

    Re: TOS Enterprise Interiors -- Unreal 3 Engine Could McCoy be displaying instruments, or replicas, used by his ancestors? There is this line from "Return to Tomorrow".

    STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS - Grading & Discussion [SPOILERS]

    Actually, the returns can be larger on a film made with a smaller budget. What I see happening is that if a film has a larger budget, the harder the climb to profits. Some films can do this, like Man of Steel. Other films, like The Lone Ranger, can't do this, which can be calamitous for a...

    Scotty and his military comment

    In the alternate timeline of "Yesterday's Enterprise", the Federation was six months away from defeat. In another timeline, seen in "Parallels", the Federation had been overrun by the Borg. I don't think it's possible to get an accurate understanding of the issues we are discussing, because...

    STID "tracking" for $85-90 million opening [U.S. box office]

    For Star Trek to succeed overseas, it had to become less Star Trek. Star Wars has never had to become less of what it was to succeed overseas. Star Wars succeeds because it's not overly philosophical. Star Wars is about the struggle between the forces of evil and the forces of good, which can...

    Yet, the explosion was powerful enough to tear through several levels of sub-levels, to breach street level, and be seen from the Royal Children's Hospital, a facility outside London. After seeing "The Lone Ranger", I see a strength of Star Trek. The source material is far more adaptable and...

    Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors

    Re: TOS Enterprise Interiors -- Unreal 3 Engine I have two observations and/or questions. 1.) In this shot from "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (http://tos.trekcore.com/hd/albums/1x03hd/wherenomanhasgonebeforehd271.jpg), the play of light and shadows make me think there was a lamp or lamps...

    Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors

    Re: TOS Enterprise Interiors -- Unreal 3 Engine I was watching the episode "The Man Trap". I noted that the door sign for the room to the right of the turbolift had its name changed from "Computer Statistics" to "Electrographic Analysis". For me, this is evidence that they did changes to the...

    The Jewish sages who wrote the Talmud wrote that the Old Testament could be interpreted in four different ways. They were: * Peshat - simple, literal interpretation of the work * Remez - hints and allusions in the work * Drush - deeper meanings in the work * Sod - esoteric, mystical meanings in...

    Star Trek Into Darkness review by Steve Burgess

    I think it was established early on that Spock Prime was repressing strong emotions and passions in "The Naked Time". And, it was repeated throughout the first series that the Vulcans nearly destroyed themselves because their passions were so strong, and it took a leader named Surak who had...

    STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS - Grading & Discussion [SPOILERS]

    I suppose that argument could work, if the nature of the child's disease was explained. However, it wasn't. The scenes with the family were perfunctory handled, and I felt that they were a plot device. For myself, I see another revenge film. I have to ask myself, is Star Trek capable of doing a...
