What's in YOUR 'head canon'?

[Tenacity]

The new leader of India will receive congradulations from all the other nation-states of Earth (and the colonies), and a nice "telegram" from the Federation Council.

The Western influence over Earth culture is due for an implosion.

Not according to what's shown on the show. Western influences and traditions are everywhere.

Yeaa, we win.

23rd Century Federation is the same or similar to the UN or the EU. Separate member-states unified under the same economic and military defense umbrella. By the 24th Century this has morphed into a more defined government as opposed to the looser collection of independent governments of the previous 2 centuries.

 

[Tenacity]

^ I agree to the first part, but see no evidence of the morph. According to ENT's Daniels, in the 25th century the Federation is a alliance.

 

[Shawnster]

That's why it's head canon, right?

 

[Tenacity]

Of course.

Because its a TV show written by humans living in California lol
In my head canon the best of human culture makes up Earth culture, and it is not confined to the culture of the USA.

 

[Hawku]

My head canon is that all of Star Trek takes place in Benny Russel's head.

 

[Cyke101]

He has large snow globe collection.

My head canon says that Detective Munch injected himself with augment blood, was transported by Gary Seven to the Baku Planet, bathed in metaphasic radiation, hopped on a ship that belonged to the Greek Gods, said hi to the Companion, then returned to Earth to become head of Section 31: Special Victims Unit, while sarcastically smirking at everything in his way.

Klingon blood turns pink when in an anti-gravity environment.

Were the Khitomer talks being held in an anti-gravity environment?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ No, but we didn't see pink blood then. In fact, technically, we didn't see ANY Klingon blood.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

They shut off the gravity to kill them, didn't they? That's why they needed the boots.

 

[Kor]

I'm not sure how lack of gravity would change the color; it speaks more to a chemical reaction IMO, perhaps with something in the ship's internal atmosphere. The ship had been attacked and damaged, so maybe some weird gasses were leaking.

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Never mind, we do see pink blood when there's gravity. It's when they're treating Gorkon onboard Kronos One. Gravity had been restored by then, but Gorkon's blood is still pink.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Perhaps the change is irreversible.

 

[Shawnster]

They shut off the gravity to kill them, didn't they? That's why they needed the boots.

Klingon blood being pink when under gravity was how they discovered the assassins were human at the conference itself. The wounded assassin had red blood. It would have been pink if it was Klingon, as pointed out in the dialog.

 

[JonnyQuest037]

Yep. Colonel Worf was obviously expecting the Klingon assassin to have pink blood. That's the only way that line of dialogue makes sense.

 

[Albertese]

Yep. Colonel Worf was obviously expecting the Klingon assassin to have pink blood. That's the only way that line of dialogue makes sense.

I'm actually not a fan of the Scooby-doo ending. I'd be fine with excising that element from the canon altogether. Scotty shot the Klingon assassin who fell out the window and that was it.

I just finished re-watching The Voyage Home. In my head canon, 23rd-century humans used their advanced genetic techniques to clone humpback whales, once they had George and Gracie, since two whales don't provide a big enough gene pool to repopulate the species, to say nothing of the tremendous odds against such a small number surviving and successfully breeding a whole new generation of the species.

I suppose clones still present the gene pool problem. Maybe advanced twenty-third geneticists can tweak them.

Heck, if 23rd-century transporters are half as good as 24th-century ones, they can just keep spitting duplicates of George and Gracie out of the pattern buffer of the Klingon ship's transporter.

A warp bubble forms around a ship. This bubble creates a pocket of normal space inside subspace that allows a ship to travel at FTL speeds In my head canon warp factors = the number of bubbles formed around the ship. Warp factor 3 = 3 warp bubbles, etc... The higher the number of nested warp bubbles or warp factors equates to higher FTL velocities. The reason why warp 9 in TOS is slower than warp 9 in TNG is due to advances in warp field mechanics. Warp 9 still creates 9 nested warp bubbles in TNG just like it did in TOS, it's just that the warp bubbles are more efficient in TNG's day. It's like how a 100 horsepower engine in the 1900s didn't go as fast as a 100 horsepower engine today does.
