nice one. Good read. I hope Kirk does not pop up on the show. Perhaps Pike or that SheMale Second in command.

riddle me this:

The enterprise comes across a race that has both cloak and holo deck tech. They don't try to trade for either.
Yet they do trade the holo tech to the klingons without even asking the aliens if they would allow this.
Now lets jump 150 years into the future. kirk's time. The Fed has neither cloak or holo decks. The klingons have cloaks but no longer use holo desks.
What happen to the holo deck tech taht was installed on the klingon cruiser? did that captain not share this tech with the empire and it was lost?

No, the aliens only traded the holo tech, not the cloak. The Klingons got the cloak from the Romulans in Kirks time, in the alliance they briefly had. I think the Enterprise writers would have remembered that.

As for the holo, maybe the tech was too advanced for the Federation or Klingons to put onto their ships until 250 years later (TNG time). Most of the planets, ships and stations seen in TOS were outPosts or small colonies, scout vessels and warships. At that time, the Federation and Klingons could have thought the holo tech great, but just did't have the skill, tech level, money or desire to fit it onto all their warships, colonies and stations. Remember, the first holodeck seen was on the Enterprise-D, which was a BIG exploration vessel, with lots of families on board. On that kind of ship, the holodecks would be very usefull for stress relief and crew and passenger morale, but on a warship of TOS time, it would just take up space better used for provisions or weapons.

Lets go back to the the first show.
My thoughts on the unknown character.

1. Evil kirk from alt universe.
2. the real kirk who is pissed because they killed him off.
3. The romulan tasha yara, who wants to distroy the fed before it gets started.
4. data's evil brother.

mav,

I never said they traded the cloak tech. I ask what you thought happened to the holo tech that was given to the klingon captain?
I was just fishing for thoughts on this.

Well, I still gave my thoughts about the holo tech.

As for the unkown character, if I remember correctly, I think he's human. His hair, body features (that could be deserned), and clothing, lead to either human, or one of the species that have the basic siiloete of a human (Bajorians are one).

Romulans and Vulcans could be ruled out, their hairstyle's different from the badguy's (again, if I remember correctly, and their hairstyles are pretty consistent from character to character); Klingon's ridges and body shape would be easily detectable; Carasians, Kazon, and other 'headgear' (the actors have to wear big ruber masks and body apperance mods) just didn't match the siloelete.

To talk about your thoughts alittle (not insulting, just observeing and thinking):
1. He's from a alt universe, so time travel to our universe's past may be a little difficult, even for Treknobable. But that would be an interesting plot twist.
2. Naw. It's Kirk, I mean, why would HE come back to screw the Federation?
3. Sela (sp), was her name, but the badguys (again, if I remember correctly) had the profile of a man, and not one of a Romulan female.
4. Lor? Thought he was blown up or dismattled? Have to watch the TNG episodes that he was in. But that would be an interesting plot twist also. Do like in First Contact, go to the past, contact the Borg, or something like that. But I really don't know why he'd go back to screw the Fed.

Ah, well, trying to figure out who or what Trek badies are is really confuseing, and it's usually better to just let the writers explain it.

better not be a borg.

I am so sick of the borg. You think a species that can conquer vast regions of space would get over the human factor ( ie really badly written story line )


If they have this enterprise beat them up I think I will scream.

That would be as bad as Star Wars esp 6. ( Worst ending ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

that's funny, I almost posted a borg also. But I thought that it did not sound like one.

ok new show.

yep.

Hey arn't they supposed to be a military based organization.

Yep. That's why we send 80% of our command infastructure on all away missions. Stupid

But hey at least it is predictable.

Wouldn't want a show that is orginal in any way.

Tonights. esp. two thumbs down.

Horrible. Contrived , and zero orginal thought.

Going through the motions.

When I heard that line.

"can we use the transporters "

I thought the answer should have been.

'Sorry to early in the show. We have to have a 'problem happen' where the two leaders help each other solve the problem, and whola. Story ends'

Man. was I surprised.

Please keep the insults non personal.

Thanks
