[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Hmmm....you all have valid points. My thinking is mainly because the utter lack of urgentcy (or any real sense that it's wartime at all- much less a war the Federation was losing most of the time and suffering weekly casualties- often in the thousands). Why would Worf have been there during wartime at all? It sure does not match any point in DS9 continuity for him to have been away like that (unless it was some sort of leave following Jadzia's death- we sure never heard mention of it though). Riker says "During the war with the Dominion, the Son'A supplied the drug..." not "They [i]are[/i] supplying our enemies with the drug..." They're definitely talking about events in the past tense- it saved them from having to explain the war at all to the non-DS9 crowd. Oh.... [URL=http://www.geocities.com/ussmunchkin7/Star_Trek_IX.htm]lookie.[/URL] Riker mentions "the Diplomatic Corps is busy with Dominion negotiations" (that could go either way, really- either just after the war's conclusion or the "peace feelers" that Vreenak mentioned to Sisko in season six). Picard: "In view of our losses to the Borg and Dominion, the council feels we need all the allies we can get." That (to me) implies long-term losses (the Borg attack was three(?) years prior- giving audiences a tie-in with the last movie). Besides, why would the federation bring in a low-tech race [i]during[/i] the war? They'd be putting that entire culture's lives at risk of Dominion attack for [i]nothing.[/i] There is also no reason for a race to join up during a horiffic war they cant really contribute to. Later, Admiral Daugherty is convinced to aid Ruafo because "the federation is Old- it's been challenged by the Borg, the Dominion, The Girl Scouts..." he never mentions any ongoing war, nor does the Admiral say anything about it to Picard. If he had made a case for saving thoudands of federation lives wounded in battle, it [i]might[/i] have swayed Picard, instead, his pleas are for some "fountain of youth"- [i]not[/i] to win a war or save the quadrant from destruction. Crap- the lines about the Son'A supplying White are not consistant with the script (hell- in the script there's a prune-faced libraian on the Enterprise!?! Paper notepads?!?) . Too bad- the script gives much better background on the Son'A than the movie did. Mabye someone can watch the movie and jot down the exact dialogue for us? [/QB][/QUOTE]
