[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [qb] So they only built one horizon set/painted one horizone matte, not knowing that in 20 years' time there'd exist technology whereby a bunch of obsessives could superimpose them and talk about it by computer. This is undoubtedly true. Hollywood just isn't set up for obsessive superimpositions, MACO counting, or absolutely realistic depictions of things. Dammit. ;) [QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB]needless to say the chances of it spontaneously having a stable orbit are rather slim.[/qb][/QUOTE]Fair enough, but there was no indication of it naturally forming into an extremely rapid descent into the sun, either. The planet survived at a stellar distance not-observably-different than that at the time of its formation for three months. The Klingons seemed to think the place would be stable enough to serve as a forward base for use in war against the Empire. But again, the issue of the view from the planet showing suns-of-similar-size contradicts the huge-angry-sun space view, so the idea is not without its potential evidentiary pitfalls.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb]is that sunrise really a sunrise? Or perhaps just another sunset on that topsy-turvy planet with two-hour days, confusing the audience because of all the cuts?[/qb][/QUOTE]Well, the cloud cover on the planet seems light in that area, judging by the thought-to-be-sunrise view. If it were sunset I'd imagine we'd have had a brighter day during Kirk's wanton asskicking. That said, though, the theme of the planet rapidly aging like Spock does seem consistent with the idea that the planet's rotation might've been increasing. In any event, it seems the orbital issues are a bit uncertain, though something clearly went at least a little awry with the rotation. Thanks! [/QB][/QUOTE]
