I find it offensive that you find penguin porn offensive. There's nothing better than two penguins fucking each other. Especially if they're both girl penguins.

I don't know if this counts as site to site transport, but in one episode of Star Trek Enterprise, doesn't Archer get beamed to the ship's computer core?

Ok, your new, so I'm going to forgive the fact that you didn't get the penguin porn joke. Which is what it was. But I will not tolerate you or anyone else bashing this; the greatest forum on the interwebz. With the exception of you and a very few others, this forum is ripe with intelligent discussion. Some of it's not even about Star Trek believe it or not. I think a lot of us would agree that this forum has a certain elitist quality to it. We're wary of newcomers because most of them are either trying to sell something, or advertise their website, or they come in here without introduction and go off with some cockamamie idea about a movie that's already been discussed to death and then some. Sound familiar? I bet it does. As for the "back biting, and sniping" look whose name is up there with the first post. I've read through this entire thread up to this point, which is also the most time I've spent on a Star Trek portion of this board. I've watched some of the movies and some of the shows. So I can't delve too deeply into this stuff as some of the others here, but frankly dude, some of your ideas are just plain whack. Not only do they not fit in with what the writers and directors of the movie envisioned, but they don't even make sense to some of the more learned Trek fans of this forum.
I'm running out of things to say now, so I'll end with this: Who the hell do you think you are?

You were certainly misled that this forum was somehow "family-friendly." As for high quality, I invite you to rebut the arguments below with logic and reason and facts instead of your own ideas. It'd also help your image as a reasonable person if you'd admit when you made a mistake, such as the Gorkon-Emperor bit.
Also, real life isn't a strategy game. You aren't simply "at war" or "at peace." You can sign a peace treaty even if you're not at war, as much as that might blow your mind. There's a difference between non-aggression and peace, and a difference between de facto peace and de juris peace.
Kirk is not a politician, so politicians' habits have nothing to do with what he may or may not do. He's a Starfleet captain, which has no perfect analogue in our society - but you'd be quite close to think of him as a high-ranking military officer, not a politician.
You don't have to "tamper with the evidence that quickly." Think before you type for crissakes. He could have tampered with the evidence beforehand. You don't plan an assassination for weeks or months only to have no alibis, evidence, or contingency plans to back you up.
Plus, Kirk didn't know what the hell was happening. He didn't know when he said "I surrender" about any neutrino surge, funny video, Chang, cloaked BOP, Romulans, any of that. He had no clue yet what was going on.
"Evidence cannot be tampered with"? Are you serious? Again, real life (and quality entertainment) isn't a game or silly TV drama where all the crime scene techs are 100% perfect and super-knowledgeable. Evidence is tampered with all the time - sometimes it's discovered, sometimes it isn't. Azetbur isn't a scientist anyway, so how would she know how to see if the evidence had been tampered with? Specifically, things like sensor logs - how would the Klingons use Federation computers to show that Federation sensor logs had been tampered with, when high-level Federation officials such as Starfleet captains would be able to *erase* any evidence of tampering such as access logs?
As you say - the wreckage not available to the Klingons. SO WHY ON EARTH WOULD THEY BELIEVE HIM? "Oh, OUR ship blew up in YOUR space, and you won't let us examine it for ourselves? Sure, we'll take your word for it." Is that how you would react? If so you're a gullible fool.
Sure, it could've been about how Kirk managed to convince the Klingons it wasn't him and was in fact somebody else. Oh, wait -- IT WAS! Have you SEEN the movie?? That's EXACTLY what happens!

You guys completely missed my joke about penguin porn. Can we stay on topic, please?

I'm sure all those people throughout history who've been wrongfully arrested due to evidence tampering will love that...but then obviously the concept of a frameup is completely fictional.
