#R:hou5f:-19700:pur-phy:11900003:000:1202 pur-phy!crl Feb 7 14:28:00 1983 About the transporter, I once read an "explanation" of it. However, I'm very unsure of my source--it might have been "The Making of Star Trek" (good reference), or James Blish's novelzations (bad references-- it often seemed like he was using the "physics" of the wrong universe). What I remember was this--the transporter does NOT convert the person to energy, transmit this energy, and then reconvert at the destination. Rather, it destroys the matter at the source, but remembers the pattern. It then reconstructs this pattern at the destination out of matter and energy at the destination. This would make the "Enemy Within" episode more "plausible" (?). There is a subtle difference here-- the person reconstructed at the destination is NOT the original. He/she is neither made up of the original molecules, or even the energy that was the original molecules. This would also further explain the Doctor's aversion to the transporter. (Hmm, the more I think about it, the better the liklihood that I got a lot of this from Blish--Oh well, take it or leave it). Does anyone out there agree, or at least remember other references to this? Charles LaBrec pur-ee!Physics:crl purdue!Physics:crl

--------------------
You are dreaming. Spock, in fact, is the ONLY character which has been
in Star Trek longer than Kirk. He was in the original pilot ("The
Cage") which was rejected. Pike was replaced with Kirk in the second
pilot ("Where no Man Has Gone Before"). Some of the other regulars
(Sulu was there, but with a different position) were also in this
episode, although McCoy wasn't added until the next episode (after the
series was sold).

The title of the Twilight Zone episode which starred William Shatner as
a passenger on a plane with a monster on the wing is titled
"The Gremlin" so called because the monster is called a Gremlin.
This episode is highly recomended to anyone and everyone.
jmarkv@dartvax.UUCP (Mark Vita) (05/08/84)
"The Gremlin"? I thought the name of that Twilight Zone
episode (in which William Shatner appears as a passenger
on a jetliner on which a furry creature which only he can
see is tampering with the wing) was "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet".
Written, I believe, by that master of paranoia, Richard Matheson.

Certainly Kirk should be in no trouble with the Federation, see earlier postings by me and some other enlightened individual for details. I do agree that the destruction of the Enterprise was gratuitous. Perhaps they just did it for the effects. Perhaps ST4 will be "The Search for the Enterprise" :-) I don't think Scotty should be a basket case. He loved the ship, but better by far a valiant death and a flaming pyre than to be put out to pasture, or used for orbital storage or as a museum for land- lubbers and bureacrats who wouldn't recognize the Final Frontier if they tripped over it. You can lose a loved one and still go on. A man should shoot his own dog, and a captain should scuttle his own ship. It may be reading too much into the script, but I like to think Kirk destroyed the ship rather than let it fall into the wrong hands (the Federation's :-). I would love to ask Shatner if that's true, but I would hate to be told that no, they just blew it up because the SFX looked so good. I do hope that the submitter who said the Excelsior was made to look ugly was correct, and that the New Enterprise will be as graceful as the old. I don't like the Warp 60 Trans-warp, and hope it dies a permanent death. That's a far more serious threat to the Klingons than Genesis ever could be.

I don't see how losing the Enterprise mucks up the Star Trek universe. The universe doesn't care about one little starship. And as a devoted fan, once I got over my initial shock, I rather like its destruction, because it shows they're not afraid to make major changes. I actually was in suspense as to whether Spock might be killed by the Klingons, or might not remember Kirk. And the suspense of uncertainty made the actual outcome far more enjoyable.

I loved the acting except for Christopher Lloyd. I just couldn't see him as
evil...
/* ---------- */
Wasn't this intentional? Kruge isn't evil, just
unprincipled. The Federation has a weapon that can destroy
entire planets. If the Klingons don't get it to maintain the
balance they're history. (Obviously the Klingons can't believe
the Federation would possess such a weapon but not use it. After
all, if the situation were reversed, ...)
When the stakes are the life or death of your entire
race, there are no rules. Kruge gambled, and he lost. Kirk
could have prevented David's death if he had wanted to badly
enough - he gambled, and he lost. Kirk has destroyed entire
societies (although not lives) just to preserve his ship and
crew. Can we condemn Kruge for committing smaller crimes for a
greater cause? Remember Kruge wanted to take the Grissom
prisoner; no one needed to die. Kirk lost David, but Kruge lost
his entire crew to Kirk's trick (a marvelous scene, by the way).
This is not a condemnation of Kirk, but a defense of
Kruge. Like all Great Men, he did what had to be done. Unlike
Great Men, he failed. R.I.P.

In STTMP, the communications officer on Epsilon 9 mentions that they are recieving the pictures of the 3 Klingon warships attacking V'ger from a sensor drone. I infer from this that a sensor drone is a very small maneuverable vehicle whose sole responsibility is to transmit information (including visuals) of its immediate surroundings (ie. a spy satellite). This would explain many of the visuals they recieve in the series and the movies. The base being attacked by the Romulan bird of prey could have easily launched a sensor drone and established communications through it to the Enterprise. This would account for the view of the Romulan ship after the base had been destroyed. I would imagine that sensor drones are small enough to be hardly noticed and difficult to target.

Well, I'm not familiar with the episode that everyone's
mentioning, but as for STMP:
When the Klingons were destroyed, the picture was *NOT* from
the Klingons. How many Klingon news feeds into the
Federation do you know of?:-) They quite distinctly said )I
believe it was the commander of the star base that they had
sent a probe to follow them. The probe was not destoryed,
ergo they could continue receiveing messages. Now, when the
starbase was destroyed (again in STMP) I seem to remember
the screen going blank at about the point where the wave or
field would have hit the command station and the
communications gear. The antennas to transmit to the
Federation should have been on the side away from the
attack, since V'ger was coming out of Klingon territory.

Christopher comes onto the Bridge, he is saying that he never believed in little green men. Spock says "Neither do I." much to Kirk's amusement. Exactly what this may or may not refer to, however, could be difficult to discuss on this prime-time, family-oriented net. :-) sb

The gaseous creature was found in "Obsession" and was the nemesis
of the young ensign Kirk during his first assignment.

I thought all Jewish clergy were called rabbis. You sound what you know what you are talking about. What is a Jewish priest?

You have to remember that "The Wrath of Khan" was directed by Nicholas
Meyer. He wrote "The Seven Per Cent Solution", a Sherlock Holmes
novel. Therefore it is evident that the line "Revenge is a dish best
served cold." comes from Khan reading Holmes in the late 1900's.
Seriously, Nicholas Meyer has signed to be one of the screenwriters
on STIV. Harve Bennet will again produce and Nimoy direct.
Join Starfleet, meet fascinating aliens, and have them
use you for a scratching post.
