Well, it IS the Anniversary. And isn't the TOS calander just pics from the show? Or has that changed since I last bought one?

Usually it's just pics from the show, but really, how many of those can they sell? it's the same stuff over and over...
They could have just upgraded the TOS calander with some original art set in the series.
Fuck TOS. It's the 10th anniversary of DS9 y'know! I want an all-DS9 calander! With ships and battles and schematics and nekked pictures of Kira, Lita, Keiko, both Dax's and all the dabo Girls.
Hey, as long as I'm wishing, I'm going all out.

Spock was a changling! Yeah! That explains it! Or Nimoy is a zombie....that could work just as well and it is more plausable, after all.
...and it's not that TOS is not cool, but it should not glom every publication every time there is some goofy anniversary. When it's DS9's 20th anniversary, it will be completely overshadowed by TOS's 50th anniversary.
It just aint right!

hmmm...then why is Pocket "Celebrating the ten year anniversary of DS9" on the cover on Unity?
Weird.
Um...it would be Voyager's anniversary this year though, Andrew...and I cant recall seeing anything special about that.
Though, from a calander POV, I guess DS9 wouldn't qualify either way.

I dont know of anyone that actually has it yet, but I'm sure I'll buy one regardless and then scan it like I did last year's.

And wrong, since we don't know what happen to Chekov of Uhura. And Spock seems pretty okay.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I get the impression you forgot to read page two before replying.
Chekov is supposed to have a ship named after him, so that might imply he was dead. We also don't know what happened to Sulu.

Well, You'd think Sulu died some heroic death- he's revered and there is still not another ship named Excelsior that we've seen.
Having a ship named after you does indeed imply it's a memorial sorta thing so I rule Chekov out- even his namesake ship is dead (though I'd have loved to see it in action).
In the novels, Uhura was (dont ask me why they'd recruit her as an S.I. agent starting in her 60's!) head of Starfleet Security- well into Sisko's tenure as Lt J.G., but she's later recalled in the past tense so....(Curzon says something like "She was a great lady.")
In reality, it's... odd having the old crew still creeping around in the DS9 era- the whole point to TNG was to make a clean break from TOS, but theres always the fringe element that wants to see them save the day- even if they're in walkers- it's how those awful "shatenerverse" things keep getting made.

Okay, www.calendars.com had enough spoilers to satisfy me that NX-1000 is UGLY.
Not too implausible as a late 22nd century starship, tho. But there's no way in hell that this could serve as the basis of the Constitution class through some minor tinkering, as classic fanfic is wont to think. Oh, well.
I wonder what the artist's inspiration was. Just doodling with ENT elements? Devising a new hero ship of his liking? Creating something so ugly that everybody would at once understand why Paramount had opted not to place any of its shows in this period of Trek history?
