i buy the treadmill idea for ONE person, but the explanation for two people is pretty thin
Why? Why should the treadmill be one huge rubber belt, when a forcefield could act as a hundred separate tiny treadmills for a hundred adventurous/bored gerbils that have holodeck credits to spare?
Okay... in All Good things, they all talk about the anamoly and how Big E's from each period started it. However in the future the medical ship actually started it. Picard even says this, but seems just as confused as the scriptwriters. what do you make of it?
Depends on which scan started the anomaly. Note that the Riker-commanded future E-D does eventually arrive at the anomaly (which seems to expand towards the future just as much as it expands towards the past) and senses the tiny antitime anomaly. Perhaps it used an inverse tachyon beam to sense it, thereby "fulfilling the prophecy", before Picard began jumping from time to time and telling everybody to shut their beams down.
Of course, the real-world reason is that the script originally omitted the hospital ship and had the future Picard steal the retired E-D from a museum, then use her for creating the future beam. The script was then partially changed, but not entirely.
But the script sort of works even as finished. Just after Picard and Data realize that three
Enterprises are creating the anomaly, action jumps to a scene where the future LaForge speaks admiringly of the future E-D - suggestively enough! ("So
this is the third piece in the three-piece puzzle, in case you didn't realize it yet, get it, get it, huh?")
How do those guy with that column running from nose to chin eat?
Depends on whether they eat at all, I guess. It's not as they have teeth or anything. "Conventional" human mouths are far from standard even here on real Earth, really. And this Fallit Kot guy is never seen eating in "Melora".
In "Starship Mine", the ship goes a sweep which would kill anything living but leaves the ship and all of its contents perfectly intact. wouldnt this amke the perfect weapon? Why hasn't it been used?
Because it requires placing a giant framework around the enemy vessel?
How did McCoy emulate Spock's voice in ST3.
Very well.
Why arent the tribbles reproducing in ST3?
Who says they aren't?
Why does McCoy pronounce the name of Spock's pet so radically differently then Amanda when she jut told him what it was for the first time in "Journey to Babel"?
Because he's drunk as a skunk most of the time. That's no Southern drawl - he was actually born in Michigan.
Why would a race keep its reproductive organs on its knees?
Easy access? It doesn't make much sense to keep them between one's legs, either, when they are still hanging on the outside and vulnerable to just about anything. But nature isn't very smart - it never aims at anything beyond the barely adequate.
Why, oh why, does it take three yeard and one of the most advanced starships ever built to explore and catalogue gaseous anamolies?
Why not?
Anyway, Sulu never claims the cataloguing took three years. He only says that he's completed that mission after three years. Who knows what else he was doing at the time? (At least befriending Kang, apparently - it's unlikely the Klingon would be that familiar with him on basis of "Day of the Dove" alone.)
Why is it that in "Flashback", the explosion happens and then it seems that Kirk's mission started right after that, but in the film, two months had passed?
Because we see it through the eyes of Tuvok, and it's a pretty big plot point that Tuvok is losing his mind!
So what is the real number of moons and planets in the Bajoran system?
Canonically, at least eight planets; backstage says eleven. And since we know there's a fifth moon, Nog must simply have been his usual illiterate self when stammering "three".
Why is it that we've only seen the Bajoran Sun ONCE (from space? you think if it lights up the station so we can see how pretty is, it would be visible in one of the windows?
Probably. But it seems the station is twice as far out from the star as Bajor is (travel time cues, plus the distance cue from "Emissary"), meaning that the sun is that much dimmer. And no doubt the windows dim it out even further on the sunny side, for convenience.
Does the station and wormhole orbit this star?
Most probably. Otherwise, the station would have to keep firing its engines in order to stay put. And if the station orbits the sun at twice the distance of Bajor, it would make perfect sense that transit time via impulse-speed runabout would vary between two and six hours, as indicated.
