[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] Considering that the scene was largly done for laughs and most of it was improvised I wouldn't read too much into it. Logically they could have just hailed a cab, but then they probably didn't know what a cab is. However, they seamed to know of Alameda, they just didn't know how to get there on foot. I presume that in the 23rd Century there would have been an extensive subterranian rail system (as I've drawn on my map) and very few people would actually walk the 15 miles from the Presideo, across the bay to Alameda. Even if they did, as Spike pointed out the city would have changed quite a bit over the centuries and after scrutinising maps of San Francisco and the bay area for the last few days, I can say that it's a very big place and I can imagine that it's very easy to get lost at ground level. Especially if allot of the street names and alignments are different than what you might be used to. There is also the slightly ironic possibility that Chekov (a former navigator) has a poor sense of direction, remember that both he and Sulu managed to get lost in ST:V? ;) While we're naming places on Earth which are still there in the 23rd & 24th centuries, I believe one of the DS9 cargo labels was addressed to the Central Bureau of Rehabilitation in Stockholm, Sweden. The other address was of course Tantalus V. :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
