well, i thought i was trying to spurr Raynor's discussion of continutity and warpspeed thru various series, i appologize if it was construed as inflamitory. I am 99% sure warp has meant something different in each seriese (and in different episodes within each) although it MAY have been the same in TNG as it was in TOS.

now, stop me if im wrong here, but i thought there was supposed to be no video communication during the earth / romulan war? granted i did not watch the show very intently, nor did i see the second one if there has been one yet, but it seemed like they had a big viewscreen, and i dont remember if they were talking to aliens on it or not.. but there seem to be alot of technological descrepancies. for instance, i thought it was supposed to be all lasers and nuclear warheads?

to further nitpick, i thought i remembered a TNG episode where Riker was assing up some first contact mission, and they talked about how the klingon war started when the humans met the klingons as a pre-warp civilization and screwed up the first contact procedures. is that all out the window now?
