[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Not to go wildly off topic here, but with regards to the whole "divergence" thing, I firmly (well, fairly firmly) that where ever possibly, TPTB will want to make our universe and the Trek universe match each other, because to do otherwise would cause audience confusion. They no longer say "There was a big war in 1996 where genetically engineered supermen took over 2/3rds of the Earth", because the casual viewer will just say "what the fuck are they talking about?" On the other hand, in "Future's End", they can replace Gates with Starling, because Starling is suppossed to be an obvious send-up of Gates, and therefore most people will get what is going on. But, er, transporters. I do think there would have been a hell of a lot of testing and double testing and triple testing before people used them. More than any other mode of transport I think, simply because of the massive relucance people will have. If McCoy still has it 100 years after the first "approved for human transport" one, then imagine how many people were terrified of them when they were first invented? [/QB][/QUOTE]
