Teehee. And which parts?

Oh. Well you said it in response to Nim, whom I think was referring to Picard and Kirk.
quote:Originally posted by Nim the Fanciful: That has always bothered me, how did they leave? If time doesn't move in the Nexus, how does one make a lucid decision to leave and be dropped off at the exact place one was picked up?

Guinan didn't say that time doesn't move in the Nexus, she said that time has no meaning. The whole thing is a fantasy anyway and seems to be removed from the space time continuum. Everyone who enters seems to arrive at about the same time and can move back and forth within their fantasy at will.
How people can choose to exit wherever thay want, I don't know, but *whenever* shouldn't be a problem if the Nexus has connection points to our reality at all the points in time that the ribbon exists.

Well, at the time, I thought he was talking about the El-Aurians, since his post was right after mine where I talked about them. I didn't realize then that he actually posted at the same time as I did.

I'm sure if they REALLY wanted to bring back Kirk - then there would be some contrivence of the Nexus phenomenon - that would allow it to happen. I mean if Riker can be duplicated by a Transporter beam...

I thought the explanation in the novel was alright. The Borg brought him back, didn't they? Not that the Borg would have any interest in a Starfleet Captain who's tactical knowledge is a century out of date... but hey.

The Borg with the help of the Romulans beamed his body up from Veridian and reanimated him to kill Picard IIRC.

Yes, they're some of the best selling Trek novels ever published, thus inflating Shatner's ego to even more gargantuan levels and making sure he saves the universe in every novel he sort-of writes.

You theory means that we wants Geordi to see a sunset, he secretly wants to have, then kill, a son/himself.
He wants Ryker to finally start fucking Trio and for them to marry and get off his ship.
He's threatened by data and wishes he was retarded or something so he would'nt feel so inferior.
He's always wanted to just ram the Enterprise into another ship instead of bothering with any of those silly "weapons" or "tactics".
See how it all makes sense?
