hitch- one question. Are you of the opinion that kirk and Spock shared a telepathic bond? Because, like you, I don’t exactly think that they made out in their free time. But the whole t’hy’la thing would make a lot more sense if they were telepathically bonded. They are like brothers, they love each other, but I can’t see them as being gay. I think the reason that Spock wasn’t with Kirk was that going would be illogical. There was no real reason to be there except to please a bunch of illogial humans. Even Kirk didn’t want to go. Spock simply chose not to, and very probably regretted that. We see that in Unification he obviously still thinks about Kirk. And about him knowing about Kirk’s second death? Could the telepathic bond explain that. We learn in Sarek that the mind meld links one mind to another. Kirk and Spock melded numerous times. The telepathic link between th would make perfect sense.

Often the most simple explanation is the more likely one; B4’s body has been taken over by Data’s programming. But it probably took a long time before Starfleet accepted that, and he had to prove himself for many years before being allowed to captain a ship of his own.

i’ve always thought that a good route to the ‘resurrection’ of Data would involve Lore’s body, perhaps repaired and wiped of every program and memory belonging to Lore and replaced with those belonging to Data.

Or perhaps with the earlier, more primitive B4 positronic net as a guide Geordi was able to understand how Sung created the androids and after a few failed attempts was able to create a new body for Data’s memories.

or maybe they’ll find data’s body regenerated on the genesis planet and take him to mt. seleya and take his katra out of b4 and put it into his new body.

I haven’t read the whole blog so i dont know if anyone said this, but it’s always possible with time travel data could have been recovered a microsecond before the explosion, similar to what was down with seven of nine in an episode of voyager.

About Captain Data, The easy theory is that it’s B4, fully recovered with Data’s memories. But don’t discount the less popular theory that Nero may go back in time to the Nemesis days and perhaps mess with Data’s fate. Reason? Look at the issue with Picard on the front. Notice that he is wearing the TNG movie uniform, with FOUR pips on his collar!
I assume the covers relate to the main character in that particular issue, and if the artists decided to HIDE Data’s uniform, and show Picard’s, I think that that issue will take place in the Nemesis TNG era.

Did anyone actually watch the end of Nemises? B4 started to remember Data’s memories!

Regarding the 40 years on Romulus business: According to the Star Trek Vulcan’s Soul trilogy + Vulcan’s Forge & Vulcan’s Heart, by Sherman / Swartz, Spock first visited Romulus and begang his Unification movement 35 years prior to the Shinzon affair. Since this is 5 years later, the statement makes sence. They are referring to to books. I remember reading that a book by Diane Duane was one of their favourites, and Sherman/Swartz base a lot of their stories on her work. I guess they are making some of the books canon now. (Now, if they only would refer to the Romulans as Rihannsu, I would be veeeery happy;-)

Issue #1 around me is a hard find. I lucked out and got the last issue after calling around. Had to drive to CT from Mass to get mine though. Was a good issue and left me wanting issue #2 to be released soon.

Hello ! I think It’s B4 with Data’s memories ! Data has overloaded his memories during studies with la Forge. And in movie’s end, B4 whistles a song known by Data…

But why between 2364 and 2379 Data was along Lieutenant commander and only 8 years he’s now captain ??? I’m surprised ! it’s quick suddenly for his carreer !
sorry for my language, I’m french ! Nice all for you !!!

154- You’re a good man Hitch. My lips are sealed.

Honestly, I agree with you- too much accidental exposure to Grup magazine as a young fanzine reader apparently, but I do agree, they weren’t charging one another’s phasers.

I think their relationship really doesn’t develop on the original series until after the death of Gary Mitchell. They are obivously friendly before that, but it was the support Spock gives Kirk as First Officer which eventually results in their bond.

What role does McCoy play in that? Is the triumvirate’s bond as solid as the K/S bond?
