I am not at all looking for an apology from you. Putting on sackcloth and ashes about a canon error would actually be a little weird, even in Lent. I simply want to know whether you apply the same...

Oh, for Sybok's sake, Nate. At least read the gorram transcript of the movie, so you stop making blindingly obvious discoveries we all learned back in May.

Oh. Well, then. I don't object to that. In fact, though not to the same degree, I believe I agree.



And that... is actually a pretty good point. Anyone who knows anything about Star Trek...

Thanks for bringing up StarTrek.com. That gives me the opportunity to quote them saying: nope (http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/help/faqs/faq/676.html).

I have no idea. Canon is silent on this point. I mean, asking me what the purpose of the folding nacelles was is like asking me why there are two separate stages for flux chillers or in what year...

Are there people who believe it? Sure. I mean, EAS does have a wide readership, and the ecological claim is at least based on something the producers said once, off-screen, in an unpublished book. ...

Agreed. TPTB disagreed. But TPTB were often wrong, sadly.


Nope. You pretty much just made that up. As far as I can tell, you got it from a theory posted on EAS.

Oh, Nate. How much you...

If "tradition" is not un-Vulcan, then it provides an entirely sufficient justification for the reconstruction of New Vulcan with certain reflections of Old Vulcan.

I keep forgetting you haven't seen this movie, which is why everything you say about comes across as so stupid.

See it, then tell me you didn't see loyalty, humor, a desire to help others even at...
