[edit] Tribute

Was the title of DS9's "Far Beyond the Stars" a tribute to the name of this episode? -- 193.61.255.84 20:18, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

No, it was just a coincidence. Writers are rarely aware of TAS. Jaz ^talk 20:39, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, that's not entirely true. In fact, I think Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, along with Star Trek: Enterprise, put more references to the animated series than any of the other spin-offs. Things such as Kor's previous commands and Spock's birthplace – both first referenced in TAS – made it to DS9/ENT. As for this episode's title, I wouldn't be surprised if they were aware of the TAS episode, but I doubt the actual naming had anything to do with it. --From Andoria with Love 03:45, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] beyond the farthest star

Seems to have a fallen image of spock's initiative to be part of star fleet command, but the following has made the log a most remarkable ethic for the control center of the computer brain offline as well as the media reprensation of the real stars....

Huh? --OuroborosCobra ^talk 23:14, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Around the star, not through it

I removed this because I don't think it's true:

The "warp drive unit" in this episode seems to allow the Enterprise to warp through a dead star.

The animation and storytelling in the animated episodes is not very good, so sometimes it's hard to tell what's going on. As I understand it, The Enterprise did not go through the dead star; it raced closer and closer to it, got just close enough to scare the creature into fleeing the ship, then engaged warp drive to slingshot around the star, thus breaking free of its gravity.
