[QUOTE]Originally posted by MeGotBeer: [QB] The Case For Riker's Dialogue Being Correct: Will Riker says "NCC-1305-E." Being that the [i]Yamato[/i] is the [i]Enterprise's[/i] sister ship, it makes sense he would be more familiar with the [i]Yamato[/i] then just any average Starfleet ship. Data, Picard, LaForge, Troi and Crusher do not correct Riker. While "The whole crew goes stupid" might apply to just about everybody, I can't really see it affecting Data, and at that point in the series, he was very likely to have spoken up with, "You are wrong, Commander Riker, the [i]Yamato's[/i] real registry is 7xxxx." There is evidence that Worf served on the [i]Yamato[/i] (he was familiar with the ship's layout, and info from the producers and shows seems to indicate that ships of the same class can have different layouts) and he didn't raise any objections. Okay, maybe he was affected by the "crew goes stupid" theory of Liam's, but that [i]still[/i] doesn't explain Data being quiet (I don't think he'd learned "tact" by the 2nd season). This is my chain of logic for assuming that the [i]Yamato[/i]'s correct registry is NCC-1305-E. I understand that it may have gotten in the episode by mistake, but the fact remains that it got in the episode, and therefore can't easily be dismissed as "oh, we didn't mean to do that." I mean, if it was [i]that[/i] easy, we could write Voyager out of Star Trek canon. Now, okay, Okuda says its a mistake. But who gets final say? Okuda? Or the writer of the episode who wrote in "NCC-1305-E"? Why does one behind the scene guru's word outweigh another? Apparently, NCC-1305-E got through repeated drafts of the script, including probably the producers' read, the director's read, the actor's read, whomever else's read ... look, Okuda probably had a chance to read the script and just "missed" where it said NCC-1305-E. The fact is, only Okuda says its a mistake, and everyone else who read the script didn't say so. So what you want everyone to expect is that Michael Okuda has the final say in what is or is not canon ... sorry, folks, I like Mike a lot, met him a few years ago, but I don't see why [i]his[/i] word over others should be "God speaking." I don't understand why my position on this "issue" has people so up in arms, but I strongly suggest some of you folks chill out, remember that it's a TV show, and pull that big baseball bat out of your collective asses.
