If we're going to get into historical glitches, how do you explain the way the Klingons looked during Kirk's time. They didn't have the ridges or anything. They just had dark skin and a fu-man-chu type mustache.

 

worf explained that in the tribble episode of DS9.

 

also i've never heard of that guy that designed the engine for the NX-01 Enterprise...and this is also the first time i've heard of that designation for a ship named enterprise.

i guess my geek is showing

[B]Another historical 'glitch'.....wasn't there an original Star Trek episode(Kirk) in which the crew finds Zefram Cochran on a planet young and alive?

 

hmm .... i thought it was on 7pm?

I miss 7 of 9 ..... and the Voyager crew

Jeri Ryan is gonna be on Boston Public .... cant wait to see her without the borg implants

 

After Voyager and now Enterprise, I have to think that the producers of the shows are huge Russ Meyer fans.

 

NX is the designations for experimental ships. The Defiant in Deep Space Nine had an NX number (I can't recall what it was).

 

I just caught the replay of the first episode tonight. I must say I was pretty impressed. Scott Bakula is the man, and Jolene Blaylock was smokin'! The lotion scene had my jaw on the floor! And to answer a question raised previously, it was some kind of anti-bacterial thing...she and the dude with her had picked up some kind of spore (I'll leave that one alone ) and that stuff was supposed to take care of it. Anyway, oh how I wish I were present when they filmed that scene .

Those shape-shifty chameleon aliens were pretty cool too. I'll admit to being real curious about the next several episodes. And Mindcore: I think the reason there were no digital displays on the original series is that it was filmed in the 60's. Like '63-'65 if memory serves?? If that's the case, then the reason there were no digital displays in the show is that there were no digital displays in real life...the producers probably had no idea what "digital" even meant. My history could be a bit off...it's a bit before my time, but I know the moon landing was in '69, so computers were way in their infancy at the time of TOS, so cut 'em some slack

 

LOL, Oh I knew why digital wasn't there, You're right in your time line, it just makes me laugh to think that in the future we may go back to those flicking numbers like my alarm clock when I was 8

 

i didn't catch that episode, but i remember reading somewhere that the difference was different families of klingons, southern vs. northern klingons or something like that - don't know if that's how worf explained it.
