[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] There's a difference here. First, with the [i]Brattain[/i], you're also dealing with dialogue as well as visual evidence. (Nobody ever said "Brittain"...) [QUOTE][b]Because it was an error you say. So why not NX-749XX?[/QUOTE][/b] Because it's not an [i]error[/i]. Why do you insist NX-59650 is an error? Why is the VFX number somehow more dismissable to you than the Art Dept's? Just because Okuda came up with NX-74913, why does that make that number "more correct" than the one that came from FI? Both numbers were just made up. AFAIK, the Art Dept doesn't have any kind of seniority over the VFX Dept. (In fact, I'm pretty sure it's the other way 'round.) There's no reason to count the 7xxxx number over the 5xxxx one, other than your bias towards wanting a bigger number. There's nothing blatantly erroneous about NX-59650. You must also consider the secondary literature. [i]Every single[/i] reference source uses NX-59650, including the Encyclopedia, authored by the man who came up with the other number in the first place: Mike Okuda. Even [i]he[/i] concedes that 74913 is the the one that can be more easily let go of. You simply can't say "oh, let's ignore the big-ass registry on the hull." -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
