[QUOTE]Originally posted by Triton: [QB] Originally posted by CaptainMike20X6: [QUOTE]...the other cameo there was Go-Go Jane Wiedlin playing LCDR Trillya, comm officer of the USS Shepard, which was dead in space, and the power failure release a plague from the medical stasis field. She was relaying messages from Captain Clampett.[/QUOTE]Jane Wiedlin appears on the wall screen in the Starfleet Command center scene when they are switching to planetary power reserves. She has a pretty wild hairdo and just seems to be a head with a moving mouth in the background and nothing she says is intelligible over the sound effects and conversations inside the control room. The information about what she is saying and who she is must come entirely from the shooting script, because I sure cannot make out what the heck she is saying. I think that Gene Roddenberry was dead wrong when he asserted that the NCC-1701-A was a new ship renamed from "Yorktown" and this became part of the history of the "USS Enterprise" in the TNG Technical Manual. I was just being facetious when I brought up the bit about cleaning out the dead bodies and giving the ship a new name and a new coat of paint. Shane Johnson in his book "Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise" states that the NCC-1701-A is a newly completed ship originally named "USS Ti Ho". This makes much more sense to me than the idea of renaming a ship already in active service for Kirk and company. Especially because of the debugging that Mr. Scott and the crew must perform at the beginning of ST V. Speaking of Spacedock, I always thought of it more than just a starship garage. Despite what they say about it in "Starship Spotter", I believe that its armed with phaser banks and torpedo launchers and its a facility where they can construct and refit starships as well as store them. Plus I think that it was a way to construct "Excelsior" in secret. Certainly the Klingon and the Romulans, and other threat powers, monitored Earch orbit for new intelligence about starship design and Starfleet strength. Oh look, they are building a new larger starship design with new nacelles. New propulsion system? My belief that Spacedock is also a starship construction and repair facility comes from the FASA RPG supplement: "Starship Construction Manual". On the back cover a "Chandley" class frigate, a starship class created by FASA, is shown under construction. [/QB][/QUOTE]
