Here’s quick one: Did Anyone catch the classic continuity error – takes place on the bridge and involves the doctor?

I thought the CBS Digital might tryt to fix it, but they let it go…any guesses as to what the error is?

Thanks alot Matt!
It means that graphic wasn’t changed and won’t be changed, so all those constellations are canon and I can begin creating the articles at MA. And once the episodes are available in HD, maybe the text will even be legible. :-)

Jörg I tried to get a snapshot of the star map for you, since the broadcast is still technically standard definition it really isn’t much better then the image you linked to but here it is anwyay:

what happens to the crew member who leaves with balok?Does he go to Balok’s disco ball spaceship and drink Tranya then find himself in some half baked rehab clinic on the neutral zone with a bunch of Tellerite has-beens after his 3 year Tranya bender?…What WOULD part 2 to The Corbomite Manuver be like?

Wonder if they’ll be tempted try to syncronize Balok’s adult actor voice better to Clint Howard’s performance in a re-mastered track.The original bad dubbing kinda worked in a very erie way.

All ends well for the crew, and, true to form,
the extra crew member joins the antagonist
at the end. Good for him … since the extra
crewman usually dies.

And on a completely useless trivia note, ‘Tranya’
was a mixture of grapefruit juice and orange juice.
Balok (Clint Howard) finally admitted this, after
3 intense hours in the agony booth.

Keep the Road Smooth.

Of that I’ve no doubt, but I’d just skip it. I’ve been seeing those screeds on usenet since time immemorial; they’ve been lame since around 1987, and they’re not ever likely to get less so. :)

“The Simpsons” even did a joke with three socially inept brainiacs hanging around with Homer when he went college, and one of the ways in which the writers mocked them was to have them on Compuserve or something like it making fun of someone for preferring Picard.

The post was made tongue firmly planted in cheek , not as matter of fact.

If you want a treatise on why Kirk the legend demonstrates superior ability to Picard, you have but to ask.
