[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bond, James Bond: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [qb]I'm sure everyone remembers that offhand reference to a Captain Shelby in DS9's "You Are Cordially Invited...". I'm acting on memory here, but I could've sworn that there was some interview in which Ron Moore specifically stated that the Shelby mentioned there was supposed to be the same character from "The Best of Both Worlds." I've already tried multiple Google-ings, I've already tried Flare search, but I can't find anything. Does anyone else remember this tidbit, and can they point me to a good reference for it? Or is it just a figment of my imagination? [/qb][/QUOTE]It's from an interview with Moore over at Trekweb. Here's the question and answer: [i]Did we ever get an answer to the Capt. Shelby question? [Was the Capt. Shelby mentioned in "You are Cordially Invited..." the same Shelby from "Best of Both Worlds"?] Well.... my intent when I wrote the line was that this was indeed the same Shelby from BOBW. I thought it was a cool reference to throw in for the fans, but I had completely forgotten that John Ordover & Co. had very specifically and very politely asked us if we had any intention of ever using this character again and we (including me) had said, "No way -- do what you want with her." This very salient fact was pointed out to me after the show had aired and I had a rather sheepish conversation with Paula Block over in licensing and with John via e-mail explaining what had happened. Since I only used Shelby's last name in the episode, you're free to look at this either way -- it's really her or it's someone else with the same last name (it's a big fleet, after all).[/i] http://www.trekweb.com/RonDMoore/Ron_Moore_12_5_97.txt Moore also referenced the Ambassador Class USS Excalibur as a vessel where at least some of the crew were assimilated by the Borg in VOY "Survival Instinct".
