[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MarianLH: [qb]I'm more interested in the "disasterous" part of Picard's line than the "centuries" part, which I ignore as a goof. Maybe Picard thought "centuries" sounded better than "seventy-five years or so." Maybe he's just not the sharpest student of early Federation history. Maybe the writer should be flogged. It's happened before.[/qb][/QUOTE]So a Klingon being shot at in the middle of a farmer's field and then nearly becoming the cause of a major interstellar incident isn't disasterous? They've even shown in subsequent episodes that this led to other incidents that have generated heightened tensions between the Klingon and Earth governments. Hell, a small fleet of Klingon vessels even invaded the Sol system and engaged a small fleet of Starfleet vessels! And we know from TOS and the films that these tensions will continue to escalate to the brink of war, subside and flare up again all the way until the Khitomer talks in 2293. Sounds wholly consistent with Picard's line to me. [b] [QUOTE]And as for ENT, one of the top ten reasons I hate that show with such unrelenting passion is the way it's fucking up Star Trek's history. I could care diddly about what any ENT episode says about anything.[/QUOTE][/b] But, as I just pointed out above, [i]there was never any line regarding the date of first contact with the Klingons other than Picard's[/i]. Not in "Day of the Dove" and not in any other episode. IT'S A MYTH. A mistake on the part of the authors of the [i]Chronology[/i]. So there's no "fucking up of Star Trek's history" taking place, at least not on this issue. Is this not making sense to you? If there is a logical flaw anywhere in my argument, please point it out directly. Tell me WHY you take issue with it. My hopes that you are not just bashing ENT for the sake of bashing it are dwindling. :( [/QB][/QUOTE]
