[net.startrek] Whither Enterprise?

chip@t4test.UUCP (05/30/84)

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?"

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?
