whodunit...
|
So, Patrick Star is starring in it?
I'm ready!!! :-)
|
Spock be an upperclassman at the same time Kirk was in the Academy is
_inconsistent_ with what we've seen on on-screen.

Troy said this was seen on screen. It wasn't.
The Star Trek Chronology isn't canon. It doesn't matter what it says.
The Star Trek Chronology dates are NOT consistent with what we've seen
on screen. They're retcon dates used to force TOS into the erroneous
dating given by Data in The Neutral Zone. They don't match TOS history
at all.
So basically every part of everything Troy said was wrong.
I already posted the real timeline we can piece together from actual
on-screen dialog in TOS. Kirk was 20 when The Cage took place. It's
not a problem to have Kirk and Spock at the Academy before that.
It is clear however that Spock didn't know Gary Mitchell there, and
probably didn't know Ruth or Finnegan.

Ken from Chicago...
Wouter Valentijn...
|
He was second officer in those days wasn't he?
Mies...
|
I think he was just the Science Officer, "Number One" (Nurse Chapel) was
second in command.
David Johnston...
|
Which would make her first officer. Hence the name. The second
officer is third in command.
Anim8rFSK...
|
Unless her being "the ships most experienced officer" makes her Number
One, and they have to all reshuffle names every time they gain or lose a
Wouter Valentijn...
|
Then her name would be safe until someone more experienced came aboard, or
she became so lazy others would surpass her in her experience.
Hmm.. ;-) Yesterday she's Number One but next week she could be Number
Four after a short vacation.
Five. You're still alive? Sorry, couldn't exist punning."
She answers: "SIR! I've been only away for a week! I'm still at least Number
Four!"

crewman. :-D

|
So if Spock was on the Enterprise 10 years prior to TOS and we assume Kirk
was in the Academy, how could they have met?
videonovels...

.
According to the (non-canon) novel "Enterprise" Spock met Kirk when
Captain Pike retired and Kirk replaced him. That makes perfect sense.
(By the way, this is a good novel; worth reading).
And although it's not totally clear, it appears Spock was indeed
Captain Pike's 2nd officer (like Data on TNG).
|
A brief encounter in a large crowded room, their eyes met and it was Best
Buds at First Sight.
There you go Paramount, title for the new movie, Star Trek: First Sight.

A1000 for moi.
That's how I first heard about it that they were using Amigas to do the fx
for a tv show, how a demo reel showed a shot outside a space station and
then it zooms in closer and closer revealing more details until it went THRU
a window into a partyroom onboard.
Forge...
|
Calling a Video Toaster an "Amiga" is like calling a Shelby GT350 a Ford.
videonovels...
|
We had a Video Toaster in our college studio, and it only did the
effects. It was the >Amiga< that generated the graphics, did the
raytracing, performed all the necessary computations to generate a
moving station & ships.
Without the Amiga, the Toaster could not do anything more advanced than
screen wipes.
|
Forge...
|
It was a Ford that had had most of its parts removed and either thrown
away and replaced with much, much better ones, or balanced and
remachined to precise specifications, which sure ain't what you're gonna
get from Ford itself.
|
|
|
|
The only other person who could play James T. Kirk is Sandra Smith.
Wayland...
|
So they should have Kirk's persona resurface in her and have the next
movie with the new Kirk trying regain his old life in a woman's body?
Captain Infinity...
|
No no no. That's been done. They should just have Smith play Kirk
straight, and no one else should act as if anything unusual was
happening.
Also, Bones should be played by Gary Coleman, and Spock should be played
by Carrot Top.
I smell a smash hit, people.

...if so, Star Trek would finally end on a derivative of it's
original ending.
