Reveal: New transporter design!

But I knew it was the same ship...so how can I have decided it was not the same class? I knew it was the enterprise..had I know ships had classes, well, I would have assumed it was that class....because I thought it was the same ship no?
I was already a bit familiar with things having changes in design and whatnot, my dad was a model maker of boats and planes, and I was on my second doctor, second Tardis Console...why would I assume this thing that looked like the enterprise was not the same enterprise? There was only one enterprise at this point after all.


You knew it was supposed to be that ship, but wrong.

Because I was unaware the design had changed, and assumed they had got the drawing wrong. I mean the TOS enterprise has. Oticeabky different nacelles shot to shot in the old days, and sometimes changed colour..

LOL, you keep making my point man. I understand you knew it was from Startrek, the thing is a pop culture Icon, people know it if they never have watched the show. But the point was, you understood something was wrong on it. You knew it was "drawn" wrong or something.

Yes....
But I didn't assume it was a different ship. And once I saw the movies, I knew the drawing wasn't wrong...

So is your point that it is the same ship? Or that it isn't the same ship?

No, you assumed they got it wrong. Its like seeing two ships and thinking Ship B is ship A because it looks almost like A but a bit wrong.

Erm. At this point, I will just say that I am pretty much the expert on what I thought, and I thought it was the enterprise. Whether I thought the drawing was wrong or not doesn't change that I saw it as the enterprise.
So if your point is the TOS and TMP enterprise are two different ships, I do not agree.
If your point is they are the same ship, and a layman would read them as the same ship, I do agree.

What if its neither the same ship or a different ship??

Sigh you have said time and time again you thought it was wrong. You knew it looked close but not right. This is what you have said like over half a dozen times now.

You did not view them as the same ship, you thought someone goofed.

I thought it was the same ship, and someone had drawn it a bit wrong. I know what I thought, then and now. As I said, I am pretty much the expert on that one thing, unless one of the Charlie X's was wandering by at the time.

LOL, you keep admitting you knew it was wrong and thought someone goofed. I am gonna walk away here as you are trying to have it both ways man
 
Shakespeare did sue everybody. He sued John Addenbrooke for £6, 14 shillings, had him put in jail, and then sued for compensation for the jailing fee(I think that's what happened).

He also sued Thomas Hornby. And he sued Thomas Rogers for £1, 15 shillings. 1 pound, William? Really?

In those days, you could go to the cinema, buy a bag of chips, and still have your bus fare home for a pound.....l xD
 
I don't know what the conversion is, but it couldn't be more that 100 pounds today. These seem like petty amounts and they were long drawn out lawsuits

That's about 3 days wages for someone working at the bottom end, and about a third or a quarter of a months rent in social housing....closer to seventh or an eighth at market rents in London, or a weeks food. And tbh, I wouldn't place much faith in that conversation....a fiver was a lot of money just sixty years ago...a pound to Shakespeare may be closer to a weeks wages.
 
They were litigious times, everyone was suing people, and be glad they were because the legal bumpf generated has given us a huge wealth of information about them.
