[QUOTE]Originally posted by bX: [QB] Although Regula probably wouldn't be considered a full-blown planet, it is at least [URL=http://movies.trekcore.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=37&pos=33]roughly[/URL] [URL=http://movies.trekcore.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=40&pos=0]spherical[/URL].

I mean just so we're clear, when Spock calls Regula a great rock in space, it's not like Eros or one of those other weirdo potato-looking rocks. However, as appealing as this idea is, I remain unconvinced that Regula was pulled into the creation of the planet. I feel strongly that the intent was that the Reliant and [URL=http://movies.trekcore.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=43&pos=81]some[/URL] [URL=http://movies.trekcore.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=43&pos=82]perhaps[/URL] [URL=http://movies.trekcore.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=43&pos=83]substantial[/URL] portion of the [URL=http://movies.trekcore.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=43&pos=86]surrounding nebula[/URL] went into forming the planet. That part of what went wrong with the Genesis effect later would have been due to it attempting to terraform a spaceship and adjacent gases and plasmas and stuff. It's a wonder it worked at all, and perhaps Genesis's highly irregular orbit combined with the proto-matter and the bizzare ingredients of the new planet's core led to it's early demise. The screen caps to which G2K links above seem to imply that the dying planet is moving towards its star. [/QB][/QUOTE]
