[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] Some of you may recall the [URL=http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/1026/farragut.jpg]picture[/URL] that was supposedly from the trailer, showing the [i]Enterprise[/i] in front of the giant saucer wreckage with the name [URL=http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/8183/farragut2.jpg][i]Farragut[/i][/URL] over Vulcan. This caused a bit of confusion because the same wreckage in [URL=http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/3995/mayflowerstxi.jpg]another shot[/URL] was apparently labelled [i]Mayflower[/i]. Well, I was looking at the blu-ray caps from the film and the name [i]Farragut[/i] does not appear on the giant saucer at all. Moreover, the name [i]Mayflower[/i] is [URL=http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/2632/mayflower2.jpg]visible[/URL] on the saucer in that scene. (Look just above the E's bridge. What's more, it's visible in the [URL=http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/1026/farragut.jpg]first image[/URL] as well if you look just above the E's secondary hull. It appears to me that some "clever" person modified the image, probably using the well-known closeup [URL=http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/4581/farragut3.jpg]pics[/URL] of the [i]Nebula[/i]-class model circa GEN. As for the source of the hoax, Dukkie said he found it on the TrekBBS back in [URL=http://flare.solareclipse.net/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2725/19.html#000277]this thread[/URL], but I don't really feel inclined to go trudging through their archives in search of the original culprit. Anyway, just wanted to clear that up. There of course [i]was[/i] a [i]U.S.S. Farragut[/i] mentioned in the film, and one of the CGI ships may indeed have been labelled as such, but it wasn't the [i]Mayflower[/i] wreckage. -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
