No, the directing credits go in the BEGINNING, at the opening of the first act. I also saw her name listed in the closing credits, and not for the director's role.

meanwhile, Majel Barrett got credit for a great deal of the TNG episodes, in the closing credits, for voicing the computer. but then again, Judson Scott asked that his name be removed from all credits for The Wrath of Khan because he was disappointed with the final result of his role as Joachim. Its situational.

It seems the Tholians are involved in the Time War. Does anyone have the slightest clue what the heck this "Cold War" is supposed to be about? It would be nice to know what we're watching

Does anyone have the exact dialogue from "The Tholian Web"? I remember that Commander Loskene appeared on screen in a very mysterious fashion (oh well, the score may have made it appear mysterious), and that the crew were watching in awe. There was something about entering Tholian territory, and the Enterprise didn't know about that. Is there anything that would have to be interpreted as a first contact?

I'm not sure which side of the argument you're taking there, Bernd. I'm 50 miles away from my copy of the episode, but the usual reason given for that not being the first contact between the Tholian Assembly and the UFP is Spock's "the renowned Tholian punctuality" line. And the general feeling in the episode, as I took it was "Oh no, Tholians!" and "They're spinning that damn web thing." more than "Who the heck are these guys?"
That the area of space was claimed by the Tholians was not apparently known, but then they didn't seem like the kind of people who felt overly obligated to keep their neighbors informed about such activities, and it was a fairly out of the way region of space.

Yeah, this "temporal spy plane" does sound a lot like an Aeon. Maybe we'll find out what role Braxton's contemporaries are playing in the Temporal Cold War.
Canonically.

The impression I got from "The Tholian Web" was that the Tholians were making a unilateral claim to the area of space that the Enterprise was in, and the Enterprise was either uninformed, or the Federation rejected that claim.
I'm kind of intrigued, especially about potentially getting other races involved in this Temporal Cold War. (Whatever the heck it is, anyway.)
(BTW, did anyone notice the article about them considering the Gorn now, too? Dunno if that's a good thing or a bad thing...)

So they may have been troubled because they knew the Tholians, and not because they didn't. Makes sense to me.
In "Arena", on the other hand, Kirk had no idea who the Gorn were.

I think that's a good idea. It would be cool, if the Gorn boarded the Enterprise and stunned everyone. One crewmember wakes up and rescues the ship but the crew will never find out who the aliens were, so that Kirk can make official first contact a century later.
