But, Kirk would acknowledge that he was walking on the same path trodden by other explorers before him -- Magellan, Christopher (of the manned Saturn mission fame), Archer, Garth, Pike. Now, if you want to see tough decisions made with no body of prior knowledge and no Federation framework...

It's funny you chose that episode, as that was the result of an accidental temporal excursion. (In "Assignment: Earth" Starfleet sends Enterprise back to 1968 for temporal observation, "City on the Edge of Forever" is a discovery complicated by having to retrieve a wayward officer, and in TAS'...

This was, apparently, a byproduct of technology. From the Phoenix onwards, subspace communication ability often lagged behind advances in warp propulsion. (One of Jonathan Archer's early missions was to install relays to help mitigate this issue once speeds beyond 27c were feasible for...

And Starfleet doesn't seem to have had the volume coverage (hence the ongoing "only ship nearby" plot hook) to consider grouping vessels into regular task groups until the Dominion War (if not somewhat before then, the "Bridge Commander" PC game manual claimed that the Galaxy-Class USS Dauntless...

Not in audiovisual canon, no. If memory serves, I believe that "The Lost Years" novels (not to be confused with The Lost Era, which covers events from 2295-2364, including Michael Jan Friedman's Stargazer novels) had Kevin Riley as Kirk's primary aide between the end of the five-year mission...

Not impossible, but I think the timeline breaking was due to overseas events. I mean, to hint at an overused and over-the-top expression, Michael Bay could be credibly accused of "inappropriately touching our childhood" (what with pausing a film to talk about Texas Laws and RoTF Devastator...

I'll just leave this here.

It's funny that while Thundercracker-with-Thrust-wings got a new identity as part of Hasbro's "Let's name every. single. use. of the model" phase in the mid-2010s (being named after an Exodus Seeker likely helped), I haven't seen the same treatment for Skywarp-with-Dirge-wings or...

Twitter did not, in a surprising twist, reveal anything in that regard. But we have a name, at least: https://twitter.com/RaionArt They're the same individual that made the Yuri-as-a-vampire artwork I put up (with memes) on this very thread for Halloween.

Prototype Ramjet, Prototype Dirge, and Prototype Nacelle?

In keeping with yesterday's post, and owing to the Water Balloon Fight video having been taken to private, here's our club in some thematically appropriate but not-in-their-game attire:

Susan Oliver had quite the career in front of and behind the camera -- yet I suspect she will always be remembered for defining one of the first non-human species to be seen across multiple series (the Vulcans being the other introduced in "The Cage").* *of course, she wasn't actually...

I didn't know you worked for Paramount! Of course, you'd probably want to hide that, considering how many would be bothering you for leaks. 🙃 Not I, though.

Right, but because the larger story of S7 was In Other Media, Orci and Bay felt content that their presence in the film would have the fandom going "Ah, yes, it's those guys." while the general film audience saw John Tuturro only giving us Need-To-Know Backstory. Anyway, pretty sure TFWiki...

Nice to know I'm not the only one with fixed ideas! (I suspect it's part of the fannish condition to some degree.) Of course, given what happened with the making of the sequels, there's no reason that both descriptions ("most compentently made" and "two films mashed together") can't both be true...

"But we gave the Skywalker surname to Rey, so you have to like her! Right?" Legacy may have had us tripping over descendants of the Skywalker-Solo lines, but at least they gave us a spectrum of takes on said legacy. Nat Skywalker wasn't very good at the Force(tm), so he changed his name and...

Well, at the time, Bay was known for Armageddon (which ran about 20 minutes too long, but was much more hopeful than the more critically acclaimed Deep Impact)*, The Rock (which I've not heard anything bad about) and making a movie about Pearl Harbor that actually did well in the Japanese market...

I'd like to think that I know how they should do it.... though I don't know if current timeline/story policy would allow for such a relaunch.

Just a picture of the club enjoying the season. Perhaps the view will inspire them to write some new poems....

Any word if this is still in the pipeline? It did get a trailer, not that it gives away much....
