Weird Starfleet Divisions

And that's a phoneticization of "chronos" the Greek word for time.

Seems that every planet has Greek and Latin.

Yes, strange coincidences, aren't they?

You mean Tuvok in the Year Of Hell? I thought he was weapon's officer... which doesn't seem like a very good idea either.

I was thinking more along the lines of Geordi in season 1 of TNG.

But Geordi wasn't blind, he had that hair-clip around his eyes that gave him a better vision than sighted people. He could see gas leaks and other stuff like that plus it even worked as a lie detector.

Am I missing something here? Geordi was completely blind. He was only able to 'see' things because of the VISOR. When he removed it, he couldn't see a thing.

You don't it get do you? Geordi with his VISOR had better sight than sighted people. He could see infra-reds and ultra-violets and even gas leaks, and when people were lying.

How does that make him blind? Tuvok on the other hand was blind all the time.

You don't it get do you?

Something like that makes me go to Yellow Alert. Let's avoid Red, shall we?

Point taken but there was no malice intended.

 

[retroenzo]

No malice here neither. My post was just originally meant to have been a joke.

Let's bury the hatchet, shall we?

The guy who translates and comes up with the official English spellings of aliens and their planets. Some Trekkies got mad that JJ Abrams used "Kronos" instead of "Qo'noS", imagine what it'd be like if it was over stuff that mattered!

Yeah, whoever updates the translator programs to 2.0, etc.

* "Don't translate this word into English - use the Romulan term - if you translate it, we'll have two different entities with the same name. Confusing."

* "They named their ship the what?"

I think it's only normal that alien languages would have sounds that were completely unpronounceable. Hell it happens often enough for our Earth's languages, even when these languages are related to ours.
