Jeff:

Can’t answer that one. Guess they want to stop counterfeiting. Can’t see any other reason!

i completly agree, i liked the early enterprise phasers because i felt they should be outgunned for the most part, same with the transporters, the writers should have had a little more restraint

If we went from 1870’s victorian “don’t show your ankles” to 1970s mini skirts (100 years), then I can totally believe we went from Enterprise jumpsuits again to miniskirts in TOS ;-)

Why do some of the items appear on ebay with blurs over them? I understand for things like the water polo certificate (I guess, who wants to take the trouble to reproduce that?) but when you’ve got a simple inventory label with numbers…it’s easy to guess what the rest is. Why do they bother to blur some of the image?

During the run of TNG, there was a traveling exhibit of Starfleet Technology. It included a couple of TNG costumes, and some interactive exhibits which, at the time, were state of the art. OMG, a voice-activated computer! It was pretty heady stuff. If anybody gets the chance to put a bug in somebody’s ear… it would be cool to update the hard science and have it travel with a top notch collection of Trek junque. Just a thought… since odds are these pieces will never all come together again in any great numbers.

Not to mention that maybe something horrendous happened during that hundred year gap that led to the “revisionist” morphing to the appearance of the ships and costumes. Maybe the surviving populace was left with nothing but history tapes from the 1960’s as a point of reference to go by!
Far out, man!

CmdrR: No word on any museums, but some of us may be displaying costumes at various events. There was a small display at the New York Comic Con by one collector, and I may do so in August at the Vegas Con if I can get Creation to work with me on it.

Also, Enterprise is only 100 years before TOS. But I agree, that they should have introduced some tech more slowly. Remember though, we had no real shields and only warp 5. So there were some advancements in the next 100 years.

No, CmdR, you are not alone….you will never be alone.

My God, the entire Blog crew has been reduced to cottage cheese cubes. I’M ALONE!

I always felt Enterprise’s production values were good, but the tech seemed way too close to TOS. Didn’t anybody invent anything for 150 years? I wish they’d held off a long time establishing ship’s phasers. The early missile encounters were cool in their own way and showed the crew sweating it out because they were so badly outmatched. I could have gone the entire series without the transporter being used as a bail out for week scripts.
