[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] If we could watertightly argue that Ceti Alpha V was out in the sticks from the TOS point of view, then Kirk could get a pardon. He *was* largely out of touch with his superiors, and had a lot of leeway in major decisions of war and peace. He also had something of a personal interest in not giving Marla McGivers the death penalty (or other punishment if we don't accept the "Turnabout Intruder" premise that Enterprise security people are ready to kill mutineers at the drop of a hat) for her mutiny, thanks to her later reversal. And perhaps his political views actually included a certain adoration of Khan to begin with. In the real life, Alpha Ceti is indeed out in the sticks, using TNG-type warp speeds. In TOS terms, even Andromeda would be just around the corner, though. And we don't know if Ceti Alpha is Alpha Ceti. Further, we have to consider that Khan was initially found rather close to Earth - could Kirk have made a major detour to maroon Khan without Starfleet noticing? Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
