Seeing that I haven't seen STIII (wait til Friday...), I guess that this can't be a spoiler. But, dollars to doughnuts that the Enterprise doesn't make it through the flick. Item 1: The TV commercial calls the movie "the final voyage" of the Enterprise. Item 2: The same commercial shows a picture of the main hull nearly destroyed. (Actually--it was a picture of a starship's hull destroyed. I didn't see a NCC-1701 or any markings.) Item 3: A recent newspaper article I saw mentioned that Star Trek fans will be very upset with what happens to the Enterprise. Well, even I can put one and one together. (And get three.) The question is, "What will the new ship in STIV look like?" -- Chip Rosenthal, Intel/Santa Clara {idi|intelca|icalqa|imcgpe|kremvax|qubix|ucscc}!t4test!{chip|news}

<> However, an interview I read with Nimoy quoted him as saying he didn't know why they were calling it the final voyage of the Enterprise. Playing coy, you think?

I just saw a picture of the Excelsior. YEEEEEEEEECH! A flying bathtub, with saucer half-balanced on top! Ack, bletch, foo! Roger, Roger, please tell me Enterprise II isn't going to be Excelsior-class. (I haven't read the last 25% of the spoiler synopsis.) Spacedock, on the other hand, is lovely. Is it in geosynchronous orbit over San Francisco, I wonder? -- Thirty-three hours to go, and counting... Stewart Wiener / Princeton Univ. EECS / princeton!tilt!smw
