I actually pretty stoked about the Harriman comic. I have always wanted to see more from him, and the Enterprise B. woo!

Yes the lack of star ships around earth, etc. does seem to be a major STAR TREK plot hole at times. Of course it is all done for story and maybe budget at times. Still after awhile if over used this plot device does come off as funny or annoying. ;)

but then again, there weren’t any Romulan, Klingon (Chang aside), or any other ships at Kittomer, probably as a way to demonstrate the neutrality and peaceful nature of the conference.

How did the delegates get there? Were there no diplomatic transports, no starships, nobody to notice two federation ships getting pounded with photon torpedoes?

@43: yeah, youd’ think that with all those ships, you’d have a few on stand-by…

the V’Ger incident, well, that was just plain wrong. heck, when Vulcan was under attack in ST ‘09, they had those ships in reserve.

and finally, remember, space is very big.

“Earth was completely devoid of starships and defenseless that day.”

It always is. Where was the rest of Starfleet when V’Ger arrived? Come to that, where were they during the battle at Kittomer?

As portrayed so far, Starfleet is the most incompetent military organisation imaginable.

@37: That’s the point – to flesh him out and make him a real character instead of a throwaway punchline. More power to him, I say.

@25: You should check out the novel “The Captain’s Daughter”, by Peter David. He does play up the blame angle quite a bit, only it’s Harriman blaming himself and letting it eat away at his own self-esteem.
It’s rough going, but very well-done.
