[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] Well, first of all, Okuda had already set the [i]Yamato[/i]'s rego at 71807. It's a matter of clear record that he drafted a memo in response to the '1305-E' line in an early script of "Where Silence Has Lease", but never sent it because a later draft of the script dropped the line. And he didn't know the line had been put back in, and had the acetate cels for the bridge displays made for "Contagion", when he saw the aired version of "Where Silence Has Lease". Thus are YATIs born. As for the [i]Melbourne[/i], I don't know where the '318xx' myth got started, but right here on my grainy, pre-cable recording of the first airing of "Emissary" I can see '620--' before the hull disintegrates. When we get the DVDs next year (I hope), it should be a bit clearer to everyone. And I still don't know how to interpret the presence of the [i]Nebula-Melbourne[/i] in both "BoBW" and "Emissary" in fairly prominent -- if not legible -- positions as anything other than the existence of a [i]Nebula[/i]-class U.S.S. [i]Melbourne[/i], NCC-62043. *shrug* I've gotten good over the years at saying to myself "Oh, that's really supposed to be a ______" when they have to use one of their existing generic models for lack of either time or budget (or both) to make a proper one for what the ships is known/supposed to be... --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
