[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] How I know I am sort of hideous undernerd, despised as uncool by even the Star Trek nerd community: The neatest thing in these pictures is that we finally find out what the official title for members of the Federation Council is. Though it is shockingly mid-twentieth century. No Councilperson? Councilbeing? Still, awesome, and I am so glad it is not "ambassador," as sort of implied by, for instance, "Journey to Babel," among other places. Now I can continue to believe that the "Federation Council" scenes from Star Trek IV were in fact just a specially convened subcommittee. (Probable derail: The thing about "ambassador" is, in TOS the Federation was seemingly intended as being much more UN-like. Thus Sarek was the Vulcan ambassador [i]to[/i] the Federation Council. This gets subtly retconned by his TNG episode, were he's a Federation ambassador-at-large who happpens to be from Vulcan. And, I don't know. This is the sort of thing I pay attention to, I guess. Of course, one could say, without much evidence to the contrary, that the Federation went through some serious reorganization inbetween TOS and TNG, turning it into the more statelike entity we get by, say, DS9. But I'd rather not, personally.) No birthdate or date of death, I notice. Plus his birthplace is just "Upstate New York?" That's everywhere in New York that isn't in the city. How did he give friends directions to his house? When you hit Canada you've gone too far? Though now I see that he's apparently an ambassador to Andoria starting eight years after the Federation begins? Boo to that. [/QB][/QUOTE]
