Author Topic: Author, Author AndrewR Resident Nut-cache Member # 44 posted                       Loved this episode. Can I just ask - Mojo might know - what was the Excelsior seen at the end near the mine called? -------------------- "Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica." - Jim Halpert.

I believe the last time we'd seen an Excelsior specifically labelled prior to "Author, Author" was "Tears of the Prophets". However, I thought Digital Muse did that show, so it might not be...

Mightn't it have been the Frederickson from Relativity? -------------------- "I was surprised by the matter-of-factness of Kafka's narration, and the subtle humor present as a result."

And I promise you, if the ship wasn't close enough to read the name, it was the same reg from the last show it was seen in :-) Mojo Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged Mark Nguyen I'm a daddy now! Member # 469 posted                       That's probably a more likely candidate, actually... It's also a more recent use than "Tears" anyway.

Ever been tempted to name some in another Fed member's language? -------------------- "Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica." - Jim Halpert.

Member # 31 posted                       Anthony Fredrickson was a scenic artist on DS9 and for ST7 and 8. Probably the ship was named for him.

Well this could be interesting. Shall we try and track where the Fredrickson and other CG ships have been? If it was the Fredrickson in "Author, Author" then the same ship probably constituted all of the Excelsior class ships seen in "Endgame", and apparently it was also in "A Time to Stand" and "Relativity". One thing though, I thought that the ships at the opening of "A Time to Stand" were all actual miniatures and not CG ships. -------------------- Dark Knight Adventures & Batman Beyond:Stripped - DeviantArt Gallery ================================ ...what we demand is a total absence of solid facts!
