[edit] 2271
Just answering a comment you left in talk:Star Trek: The Motion Picture. IN the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Q2", it is stated that Kirk's five-year mission ended in 2270. Since they said in the movie that the ship had been out of service for two-and-a-half years, it means the film couldn't have taken place in 2271.
It has nothing to do with Gene Roddenberry's writings or Star Trek: The Animated Series. -- Captain M.K.B. 17:49, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, thats right. Well, I guess on that point, it could complicate things, although in the movie I seem to remeber them saying something about 18 months after the series ended? Not exactly sure, I should watch the movie again. Someone could have refered to it as two years after the last TOS episode when making the movie at that time, which by the episode stated, would then end up working right? --Terran Officer April 22, 2006 1:58PM (EST)
- I think the film stated the ship had been under construction for eighteen months, but i'm sure it had Kirk state he hadn't been a starship commander for two-and-a half years. Either reference rules out 2271 as a date since it was stated in the VOY episode that Kirk and the ship were in service in 2270. eighteen months would suggest 2272, and two and a half years would be either 2272 or 2273. Either way, the date of TOS and TAS doesnt matter, since the VOY reference establishes both Kirk and the Enterprise were active together for the last time in 2270, and the film specifies that Kirk in specific had been an admiral for a period of 2.5 yrs. Gene Roddenberry's writings state that Kirk received his Admiral's star upon his return home, so there's no way the gap could be less than 2 years, even if the "and-a-half" was rounding up. -- Captain M.K.B. 18:14, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I guess, It's probably a dating flub really, because there was still two years to go really when the series ended, so the producers of the movie MIGHT have looked at that date, while as the producers/writers of Voyager looked at it with the full five year mission. That and the years in TOS were never explicitly mentioned anyways...--Terran Officer April 22, 2006 2:32PM (EST)
[edit] Welcome
Hello, I have noticed that we have similar names and are both quite novices in regard to matters such as posting and such. I have been using M.A. for only a bit longer than you(I speculate) and would be honored to render any assistance, also your name somehow turned up on one of my watchlists or something.--Sciofficer 00:53, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the welcome! You may have, I don't know. I was visiting this site long before I joined. I had made an edit to an artical (I can't remeber what lol,) and then got a message suggesting i join. I will prolly keep you on your offer!

[edit] Re:Views on Enterprise
Hi, Terran Officer. I'm glad you got some entertainment out of my ramblings on Enterprise. ;) As for the Suliban cloak, while it didn't use the selective bending of light, Spock and Kirk were surprised that any ship could render itself invisible at all. Spock merely surmised that it was the selective bending of light. That said, however, it would be worth mentioning... as well as the fact that they had already devised methods of seeing through the Suliban cloak, so they may have also found a way to see through Romulan cloaks, hence Kirk and company's surprise a century later. Um... I'm not sure I made sense there. If I didn't, just lemme know, and I'll try to explain myself when I'm more awake. ;) --See you... out there!

[edit] Re:Cloak
- With the Cloak, that might be it, they didnt consdar a cloak because they had penetraited a cloak, and to hide like that, the enormus power cost makse even more sense?
That makes sense. I think I mentioned something similar to that in my explanation here. Or maybe I didn't, I dunno, haven't actually read it (as in process the information I wrote) in a while. :P --From Andoria with Love 07:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: The MU MA...
I was wondering if you'd be someone to talk to about this? I've looked around and it seems interesting. I was thinking about doing some contributing, but was wondering about the writing style, as some pages seem...odd (Like saying Captain Forrest had weapons in his ready room, didnt the episode show it was Commander Archer's?). Also, if I notice any sort of troubles is it ok to add it to the page where a list is being made? (Upload does not work at all it seems...)
The site in itself is an awesome idea :-D--Terran Officer 03:50, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hi. MA/mu is a wiki like all the others, so if you have something to change or add, go right ahead. There are some specific rules and guidelines (as, for example, "No episode pages"), but other than that editing there is OK, of course. For further question, you might also want to contact User:Bp, who is admin over there.
- You can add any sort of problem description to the list page over there, or here - I will try to relay that sort of information to the right people ASAP. -- Cid Highwind 10:34, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
