I really had a hard time hearing the comm over the musical score, but I did hear a commander west...also right as kirk was walking out of the cafe from his chat with admiral morrow there was an announcement that said: "Captain Styles, Briefing Room, Level 10, Captain Styles".

Its curious why closed captioning didnt cover the PA announcement, and at that, it even cut corners in some of the lines, whereas the dvd box sets have every word spoken plus ones in the background you dont always hear. For example; in Yesterdays Enterprise closed captioning caught the following:

"Fleet formation briefing in Main War Room at 1500 hours."

"Dr. Joshua Kim report to Station Ops."

"Ensign Thomas, report to Combat Information Center, Ensign Thomas, CIC."

"Dr. Salar, report to null-g ward, STAT"

(I think even the Encyclopedia said it was Dr. Selar (the Vulcan), the closed captioning states otherwise, and I have found it thus far to be exceptionally accurate)

"Lt. Barren...."

and

"Triage Team Two to Main Shuttle Bay"

just incase anyone was wondering, I didnt actually take the time yet to do a search on it otherwise....

oh, and how on earth was anyone able to pick up "USS Merrimack" on TMP? Closed captioning only got the Revere & Columbia reference, and the rest was overshadowed by music and the jumble of radio chatter.

I've been trying to disspell this erroneous rumor for a while now. The Entente reference was not edited out of any version of the film that I have come across. (These include the original theatricsl release VHS, the "special longer version" VHS, and the new DVD. I haven't ever checked out the Laserdisc version myself, but I had a friend who said it was on there too.) Don't know where this whole "the Entente got edited out" thing started, but it's clearly not true.

There's a lot of layers of comm chatter that aren't covered by the CC on the DVD or VHS, but you've got to fiddle with the sound balance a bit and get down right next to the speakers to hear them. There's a mention of a "long range shuttle" whose name sounds like "LAY-KEE-UH" and the Merrimac reference comes just after that. It's almost impossible to make out the name, but the registry of NCC-1715 (which we know to be the Merrimac's from FJ's Tech Manual) is fairly clear.

Incidentally, going even deeper still into the comm chatter, I think I hear references to a starship Lincoln. But I can't be sure. I think MrNeutron asked Andrew Probert about the comm chatter some time ago, and Mr. Probert said he'd try to dig up a transcript of the full content of the Epsilon IX transmissions, but I haven't heard about it since.

Yeah, I asked Andy about it...but either he's forgotten, or he hasn't found it. I have to call him later tonight so I'll try to remember to ask about it.
