[edit] Tomalek

Tomalek was always a good Nemesis, shame the actor isn't around anymore, would have been a good tie in for the movie of the same name--64.12.116.195 01:01, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Not to sound heartless or disrespectful, but talk pages isn't really the place for this sort of comment. They are for discussing the content and quality of the article, not for personal commentaries and opinions. --From Andoria with Love 04:51, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dating

I think it is inaccurate to say this is the first episode of the 1990's, as the 90's did not start until 1991 because there was no year 0. Should that be removed? 31dot 01:59, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't think you'll find much support for suggesting 1990 was the last year of the 80's.Caducus 15:25, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Despite it being true. After all, 2000 is the last year of the 20th century. :)

Having said that, I'm not even sure if it's something worth stating in any article though. -- Sulfur 15:37, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't agree that it's true - the 90's is a grouping of years from '90 to '99. It isn't affected by the existence or not of year 0, it's simply a grouping of ten years. Otherwise calling it the 90's makes no sense. Besides which I won't subscribe to either interpretation of when the centuries end without some proof - you can argue for either position.

[edit] Nitpick

It seems rather unlikely that the Enterprise replicators would be unable to reproduce an approximation of Romulan ale, since the beverage was available even in James T. Kirk's time, unless a deliberate decision had been made not to program the replicators to do so because Romulan ale was still illegal within Federation space, or because of Kirk's directive not to serve Romulan ale at official functions (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country).

Removed the above nitpick. – Morder 07:32, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
