[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] The problem is that we're trying to find justifications for things that don't need to be justified. The Bonaventure, for example: It is quite clearly the Enterprise-looking ship on the viewscreen that Scotty refers to as the Bonaventure, not any other ship in the background. And Scotty clearly says that it is "the first ship to have warp drive installed." Period. So now we all try to find some rational explanation as to how this contradiction can be explained with events seen in FC. However... In a TAS standpoint, there's no reason to assume that this ship was built in the 2060's, just because that's when FC showed us the Phoenix launch. When TAS was being made, there was no backstory concerning the early days of the Federation, warp drive inventing, etc. For all the TAS writers & artists knew, the Federation's founding & discovery of warp drive came about only 20 years before Kirk's time, based on the fact that the Bonaventure looks so similar to the Enterprise. And of course, as Star Trek continued it's live-action spinoffs and movies, the validity of the information presented in TAS became more & more unusable. This is the sort of thing that made TPTB decide to "de-canonize" TAS. I understand that explanations can be made up for just about any inconsistency, such as people who say that what Scotty "really meant to say" was that the Bonaventure was the first "Federation ship" to have Warp drive installed. But again, events in Series Five will most likely show this to be wrong. The most rational explanation, of course, is to just say that TAS isn't official anymore, which is exactly what they did. Note: This is not a TAS-bash thread. I've never even seen an episode of TAS, so for all I know, it could be the greatest ST series ever. I'm just going by the information that was presented in the show. [/QB][/QUOTE]
