[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Tolerance, tolerance. You've all got to accept the other guy's opinions as equally valid. The guys in the flameboard say so. :) Now... [i]Defiant[/i] didn't follow the so-called 'curve.' If you base the curve on the Apollo, NONE of the ships besides the Phoenix follow the curve, including the real-life space shuttle. And who moved the bridge from the extreme fore to the mid-saucer, hm? 'Design lineage' is something made up by the effects guys so you'd be able to tell the ships of the different races apart. I also take issue with [QUOTE]The Archer/T'Pol dynamic (Human Captain and Vulcan XO don't like each other but eventually learn to respect one another) HAS been done before. [/QUOTE] Yeah... but it was done LONG before TOS. In fact, pairing two ethnically different guys who first are at odds and end up respecting each other is as old as the Epic of GILGAMESH. Our 'original' poster has made the fatal error of assuming that TOS was 'original' in the first place. It wasn't. What it was was SUCCESSFUL, much as Shakespeare's adaptations of Play that were NOT his, originally, were successful, despite not being that new. Don't you remember the oft-stated original concept for TOS? "'WAGON TRAIN' to the Stars!" Is THAT original, basing a show concept on another show? Starships weren't original, not to SF. A future in which we all get along wasn't original. Several of the TOS episodes were based upon previously existing non-trek stories, most famously 'Arena.' They weren't original. Time-travel wasn't original. Non-interference in other cultures wasn't original. Humans and aliens crewing a ship together wasn't original. A 'Federation' wasn't original. So you're not left with much of an argument, are you? [/QB][/QUOTE]
