[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] Let me see how briefly and non-inflammatorily I can touch on some of the points raised... Some of those who have been here for a while know my position on registries. I look at both the intention and the execution, and when the two don't match up, I tend to err on the side of intention. Execution gaffes tend to be due to time or budgetary restrictions, or to a breakdown in communication. I think everything could be resolved if the impetus was there to go back and fine-tune the episodes -- from all of the series -- that felt the effects of those considerations. Everything from changing the registry of the [i]Constellation[/i] in "The Doomsday Machine" to redubbing Riker's '1305-E' line, to making the [i]Crazy Horse[/i] and [i]Pegasus[/i] the [i]Cheyenne[/i]s they were supposed to be to revising the VFX shots in the last couple episodes of DS9 to reflect the [i]Sao Paulo[/i]'s registry on the new [i]Defiant[/i]. In my own endeavours here at home, I'm deconstructing things even further, going into why things are the way they are. By understanding the nature of the screw-ups and wounded egos and departmental miscommunications and all, I'm finding it's actually possible to go back and create a consistent structure for the fleet that transitions smoothly from Matt Jeffries' scheme to Mike Okuda's scheme with only two or three highly-visible things that would have to be retconned. That works a lot better than trying to shoehorn one into the other or vice versa. The rest is just padding out the background information in such a way that it 1) supports the conclusions reached through research, and 2) provides a guide for those who come after so they don't start a whole [i]new[/i] crop of errors to bitch about. I'll spare you the details for now, as I'm not wearing my fire-retardant bodysuit. --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
