Star Trek Beyond ONE YEAR COUNTDOWN!

[M'Sharak]

Please don't hotlink images from eBay or from any other site which has not explicitly granted you permission to use their bandwidth to post pics on other websites.

Hi,M'Sharak. I did not hot link. That eBay site is a site like the others where you bring a picture, manipulate it, and then get a code to post it on forums. I think that is ok, yes?

That sounds OK, if they generate the code and you just paste it in place. It looks as if I've been misreading this as having come from eBay, when it's actually a third-party service created for posting pics on eBay (and elsewhere, according to their Terms of Use.) It's just not a hosting service I've encountered before.

That being the case, I take it all back, and will restore the image I linkified earlier. My apologies.

No need for apologies. I love it here, and want to continue to Post by the rules. Glad you and the others are keeping a good eye.

Crises averted!

In the novel Star Trek: New Voyages 2, the second story ("Snake Pit" by Connie Faddis) references something called Derivative 249.

Damn you, technobabble... have you no bounds!

In Enterprise Terra Prime part 2... as the rescue team steps out of the shuttle onto Mars surface, Reed remarks about this being the "32 planet he's set foot on" to which Phlox replies, "248!"

When Scotty finally got beamed up, it was a pretty expensive "Energize":

"Launching a single gram of (his) ashes costs $495 (£248), while sending remains into deep space, a service which comes into effect from 2009 will cost up to $12,500 (£6,257)."

Damn, Hijol. Mighty fine google-fu.

A member of the Los Angeles Police Department in 1996, Officer Sims held the designation 247-Baker. Voyager Future's End.

Ross 248 was a star that was located approximately ten light years from Sol.

In 2364, the location of Ross 248 was labeled in a star chart of a stellar neighborhood with Sol at the center. This chart was stored in the USS Enterprise-D library computer. Later that year, the chart was scanned by Outpost 63. (TNG: "The Naked Now", production art; TNG: "The Last Outpost")

Thanks, Keeper! Hard to see your footprints on the rice paper, also!

Hey ralph, welcome to the Countdown.


I don't know but there seems to be a mixup over what day were on, probably because of the dateline. Following is the "how many days until July 22" link formerly added by KingDanielBeyond http://days.to/until/22-july. For ME, right now, the link shows my days remaining being 246 so I'm going with that.

In scene 246 of the final script version of Star Trek: Innsurrection, the Son'a metaphasic collector is also referred to as "THE SON'A SCIENCE VESSEL" - the adhered to designation of it's designer, John Eaves. (The Secrets of Star Trek: Insurrection Terry J. Erdmann with Paula M. Block)

Keeper is Good, Keeper is wise! And how appropriate we have a little Time Displacement!

Love your "inside" stuff and script facts!

246 it is!

Star Trek: Into Darkness got an 87% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 246 reviews, with an average score of 7.6 out of 10.

Careful, you'll give me a swelled head.

I want my subjects to be happy so in return for your honor I grant you an illusion filled with all your hearts desires. (except for that one thing, it's too naughty)

In TNG episode Up The Long Ladder, an 'Okudagram' on a display screen shows a list of various "DY" class ships, including the SS Hatteras DY-245.

Keeper, snap! (do they still say that?)

Interested in a course on the Science and Technology of Star Trek?

Go to Whittier College and register for "INTD-245: Science Technology Star Trek"

Taught by renowned (?) Instructor Brock Russell

(Which would actually be a cool name for a Captain!)

They probably do not still say snap, nor 'swelled' either so we're even.

The dimensions of the Hotel Royal were 127 × 53 × 244 meters. TNG The Royal.

There is actually another instance of today's countdown number being used in this episode, if anyone wants to discover and add it...

[picard] It's on page 244.[/picard]

^Nailed it! The writer must have had that number on the brain.

On the planet Viden 9, a world with a civilization comparable to 21st century Earth, Star Trek: Year Four, issue four, The Enterprise Experiment, begins on Stage 243 as the away team is watching a television show being produced...
