[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] But the thing is, you can prove that the Majestic wasn't destroyed twice because that's exactly the same footage, and the chance of the situation recurring with another ship that has the same name and registry from exactly the same camera angles is impossible. Same goes for shots of the Defiant docked at DS9, a lot of which are stock footage. You can actually prove that this is stock footage, by examining the shots frame by frame. Hence, the reality need not be exactly the same, although the stock footage still remains our best evidence. On the other hand, the new shots of the Defiant model in WYLB aren't stock footage; there's no evidence for it -- hence, had they decided to change the registry, I would've drawn the intended conclusion (just as it can be shown that the Defiant didn't morph from stock footage into Fisher Model 1 during the shuttlebay scenes of the Sound of Her Voice). It's not impossible that the new Defiant received the same name and registry, and I've given a reason why. It is possible to derive a registry system that is slightly more complicated but fits the show. I don't think it's that far-fetched to argue that the registry numbers are not 100% precise, and that other, more precise designations exist (such as Rick Sternbach's IC-103 etc. for the Intrepid class hulls in the Magazine). I've just read an article about U.S. Navy ship designations -- supposedly, you weren't supposed to name ships after living people, but the tradition has disappeared. Ships of the same class used to have related names, now they don't. Rules have changed for no real reason: politics, relaxed tradition, etc. [/QB][/QUOTE]
