Don't you remember The Mark of Gideon? I don't know how long it takes Kirk to figure out he's on a fake Enterprise but Spock figures it out in like 3 seconds. He may not be Guinan but he's Spock, that's how he knows.

Don't you remember The Mark of Gideon? I don't know how long it takes Kirk to figure out he's on a fake Enterprise but Spock figures it out in like 3 seconds. He may not be Guinan but he's Spock, that's how he knows.
I just got my copy today, and my comic store must have sold out of it yetserday.
I don't think that's the case because it seems at the end of the issue he's expects to see Data. If the next issue starts with him being surprised at seeing Data - well maybe..
If that's the case, that creates another problem - why does Spock remember anything being different?
I just don't see it - I think what we see is what we see - anything em.. unlinear .. is going to happen in the film.
It seems to be an Ear-ring not an earpiece.
Ah...at first glance I thought it was an ear piece, but now that I look closely yeah its on the side of her ear.
I read it today. I enjoyed the insight into Spock's life in this time-period, especially...
...that Spock's efforts at reunification had eventually resulted in a less reactionary and open Romulus. I liked that he was allowed to legally emigrate to Romulus and be a resident and still openly represent the Federation. It gives a kind of full circle feeling of closure to his story, while still allowing a lot of room to tell stories about him.
It's hard to tell because of the way the panel was cropped, but she might be a Bajoran operations officer, IMO...
I just noticed something about that control console (I knew it looked familiar). It is almost a direct replica of the Engineering Control Panel on Star Trek The Next Generation: A Final Unity.
A Final Unity? Oh man, that takes me back.
Well I finally read it and got me thinking about what is going to cause Nero to got back and wanna kill Kirk. Does Data helping save his ship and crew from the Remans cause it? Or does the Romulan Senate kill his wife and unborn son? Got me wondering about that. Can't wait for next issue through. Still puzzled about Data myself too.
One Million thanks, JoeZhang. Somehow... this makes Nemesis much better.
I'm off to try the DVD to make sure.
Love the uniform... love Data alive, love Data in command, love him as captain of the ENT-E... I even love the not-so-subtle computer console reference to ST:TNG's A Final Unity. That old PC game from the mid 1990s. Anyway. Identical tactical console.
EDIT: nx1701G, you beat me to it!!! Anyways, check the link above for the reference.
Haha. They removed Geordi's face! Man, the battle sims in that game were like crack to me... in the years before Bridge Commander.
I wonder if disrupting Kirk's life is just collateral damage for whatever Nero's plan is.
From what I've interpreted from whats been released about the film, that's what I'm guessing.
Oh, and my two cents on the comic is I havn't read it yet as not ordered it yet, I'll check my local comic book at the weekend though. As for the uniform, I am not a fan at all. As for the return of Data, I would be very interested it the context of it before I make an opinion.
I kinda like the uniform design. Collar looks uncomfortable, though.
I presume the new uniforms and Data alive is due to the changes in the timeline? This comic occurs shortly after Nemesis, but earlier than the Destiny trilogy?
Nope, it occurs somewhere around 2388/7 so a few years after Destiny as that was early 2381.
No, the Destiny trilogy is set in 2381 and supposely the comic is set in 2387. I am growing fond of the new uniforms myself.
Well they are using the uniform design in Star Trek Online.
The comic book series is meant to provide the backstory of the character who goes on to travel back in time and changes recorded events, so logically the events that inform the character's life and actions should not be in an alternate timeline. Unless there's indication to the contrary, I do think this is 'our' future, which is to say, the regular universe.
Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman
