[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] Here in the UK we built not one but TWO aircraft carriers without any planes to go on them, so… It’s all a bit too… I don’t know if there’s a word for it. Things have happened not because they make any logical sense, but because they’re cool character moments or further the plot or something. It’s like making a 3rd or 4th year cadet Captain of the Enterprise in the Kelvinverse. That. So, yes, there’s a new Stargazer. But it has the same registry but with an extra 8 on the front because… of course it does. Suddenly it’s this legendary ship that deserves memorialisation. Never mind that in between 2355 and 2401 (granted it was recovered in… 2363/4?) no one bothered to do that. I suppose the salvaged original could have been pressed back into service given the Dominion and the Borg and everything… And Rios is its captain. Because of course he is. I’m not going to quibble about him being back in Starfleet because the circumstances under which he left are so stupid, it’s potentially the most retarded plot point in the entire canon. And Kim Pine is on board because of course she is. And Musiker is back in Starfleet because… etc. Again not quibbling too much because she also got a raw deal. And Elnor joined Starfleet because… well, because that’s what people DO.I was never interested in Jake Sisko but at least his arc suggested that not every character joins. I don’t think it’s the original Excelsior. I’m sure there were indications of at least one subsequent ship with the name. And is there anything in this episode to suggest this Excelsior is actually the ship seen in the fleet that looks like one - or, to a certain degree of error, an Obena? It may be that Starfleet is introducing increasing (mission-specific?) hybridisation - apparently there were not two but four distinct variants of the Inquiry-class seen in s1. So. This season is going to be “Tapestry” and “Second Chances” and ST:FC and TVH and “Future’s End” and… Q is going to basically show that the universe is a better place because Picard couldn’t develop or maintain a steady relationship? Are they Mary Sue-ing Picard to be the most important person ever? [/QB][/QUOTE]
