Sounds like Unicron's big brother...<p>And, as Liam said, he doesn't have the episode to look at, so knowing it's "the last shot of the ship orbiting Omicron Ceti III" does him a grand total of no good whatsoever. The exterior shots of the <i>Enterprise</i> were only a few, and used over and over and over again. So, if he knows what the shot <i>looks</i> like, he can find it reused in a different episode. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
