I read over at TrekBBS that John Eaves had done pre-TOS designs that were not based on modern ship designs. Berman saw the designs, said no, and commanded Eaves to modify the Akira. This is from Rick Sternbach.

If that's true, then it's too bad that Eaves is getting dumped on by the fans for his design, when it actually wasn't his choice.

One wonders why Alex Jaeger doesn't just sue Eaves/Berman for copyright violation. After all, it was Jaeger who designed the Akira, and any judge with a modicum of brains would see that the Enterprise is a blatant rip-off of the Akira.

Well, I'm sure Jaeger signed one of those contracts where everything that he did on First Contact became the sole creative property of Paramount, and thus Trek. He won't see a red cent for the copious use of his deigns in Voyager and DS9...

I hope we get to see Eaves' designs somewhere, then. It'd go a long way toward restoring his street-cred.

Eaves has street-cred?

Watch it. Pretty soon someone wil declare that Mike Okuda is "In the house." And that he's "bitchin'".

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

You guys are never gonna believe the really, truly f*cked up dream I had last night.

I dreamed that Rick Berman fell into my swimming pool and turned into a whale, and then tried to eat me. I escaped, and he was trapped in my pool.

So I brought my friends over and showed them this whale that was trapped in my pool that had once been Rick Berman.

He kind of just stayed there for a while, until an earthquake cracked the pool and he drowned.

Then I woke up.

I swear to God I didn't make this crap up. I actually dreamed it.

Whose doing the what now? You hate it when normal people talk like Star Trek nerds?
