The Doctor sat in a car.  It didn't go anywhere, though.

Not that books are canon but Q Squared explained the whole thing and was a very entertaining story.

 Hey Raasean-

Yes it has been quiet. I've been busy on work projects.

But I do have a question, I've been watching Enterprise recently.

1. When Travis visits his old ship run by his family, the Horizon, he's assigned his old quarters. In one scene, we see a book on the bookshelf. What was the title and what significance did the title have? (It's a nice little in-joke that ties into Trek history)

2. What did Archer say he once considered doing before Starfleet?

Nelson,

I just saw that episode, so I will not give this away.

As for no. 2, let's just say Travis was quite surprised by what Archer's career could have been.  Didn't he say something to the effect that he couldn't see Archer doing this?

 Hey Scott!

Regarding Travis and his reaction to Archer's earlier career ambitions, I don't exactly recall his reaction, could have been what you where thinking.

Nelson,

He basically said that he couldn't see Archer in that line of work.  He was grieving (I think) at that time over his father's death -- or perhaps that was before he heard the news.  Now I have to watch it again. ;)

 Scott-

Yes, that's the feeling I recall of the conversation too. Archer told him that while he was in his Ready Room, before he was grieving.

It's been a while since anyone has posed a question.  I have one that I think it rather interesting, and I don't believe it's been asked before.

What do the following bolded lines from TOS have in common?  I don't believe that it is that obvious.  I have included three lines, one from one episode from each of the three seasons of TOS.  The first one is a special case, which I will explain after the question is answered correctly.

From This Side of Paradise:

Kirk: "This is mutiny, Mister."

Leslie: "Yes sir, it is."

From A Private Little War:

Kirk: "You have the con, Scotty.  I'll be at Sick Bay."

From The Enterprise Incident:

Scotty: "But sir, what about Mr. Spock?"

 Kirk is stressed and angry and worried about Spock and has just yelled at the crew?

Nelson,

No, that's not it. But that was a good answer. I don't know how obvious this is, the more I think about it. I will say that it has been discussed to some extent in this thread (months ago).

If you were to watch any of the three episodes, you'd have the answer in a flash. :)

 Yeah, it is a tough one!

Scott, I was thinking that perhaps they were all written by DC Fontana, but without looking it up,  A Private Little War was written by someone else and I recall how upset the writer was because the Vietnam elements were downplayed in the final form.

The other thing I can think of is Eddie Paskey might be in each of those scenes.

I'll be going to the Star Trek The Exhibition show today. So maybe it will come to me there!

The three lines are dubbed in.  The first one is a special case (the trailer was discussed elsewhere in this thread).  In the first line, the trailer for This Side of Paradise has Paskey's line dubbed in (and cut short -- you only hear "Yes Sir").  The next two are quite apparent if you listen to the episodes in question.

Whomever wants to go next may ask the next question. :)

BTW, is anyone getting excited for the release of XI?  I know I am! :)

Okay...

Which episode did Mr. Spock have a distinctly different black collar than the rest of the crew?

Michael, that's an easy one! 

Scott, I have not seen the remastered Blu ray of A Private Little War yet, so now I'll be listening for that dub! And I am excited to get the Blu Ray this Tuesday of Star Trek 2009, and that other Star Trek film, Galaxy Quest! I still have some issues with the new film. So revisiting it will be good to perhaps get another interpretation of it. I just find it hard to accept that this is a parallel universe. It may not have erased the last 40 years, but it sort of negates it in some ways.

Rick, regarding Star Trek, The Exhibition, I'll post my impressions of it at the Exhibition thread here: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/forum/thread/265753/star-trek-the-tour-interactive-exhibit/30#post_3628146

^^Don't kid yourself Nelson, ignore the ridiculous lies propagated by the current Trek Administration!!! If you alter the past, it affects your current timeline. That's how time travel works in Star Trek, it's well established. Every event from the last 40+ years has been erased!!1

Good thing it's just fiction.  But wait--we can even make a trivia question out of it;

On how many occasions did we see a 'Trek crew's existing reality altered as a result of time-travel?

Nelson,

Did you give an answer to Michael's question?  I think it may be encrypted. ;)

 Spock has a much "taller" collar in Where No Man Has Gone Before.
But in reality its a bigger collar, well, for at least the first 2 seasons, anyway. Pretty sure its that way for the 3rd too, but its late, and i cant really remember. I think they wanted to make it look different, so as to elongate his neck, to make him stand out even more.

Where No Man Has Gone Before is not the one I am thinking of, though you are close.

I had to go back and re-read the question. Black collar...The Corbomite Maneuver!

 Hey Zack, I meant to reply to your comment about the current Trek administration! Yeah, it's only fiction. And some rules are rules you follow. It was a creative way to get around the canon problem and start new stories. But still, my Star Trek has a Planet Vulcan still intact and Amanda is still alive, dammit Jim!

As to your question, there was at least one instance where time travel was used and they deliberately altered history, and that was McCoy and Scotty giving the formula for transparent aluminum in Star Trek 4.

How do we know he wasn't the guy who invented it? :)

 Scott- I'll have to tell you the time I met James Doohan. I met him many times, but one occasion was really special.

It just occurred to me that in all TOS occasions where they go back in time, it's almost always to fix an event where history was altered that had dire results for the the 23rd century. But in Star Trek 4, they did alter the future by bringing the whales from 1986 home to the future.

In TNG, there was Times Arrow. I don't think, IIRC, any changes to historical events.

Of course, First Contact, the film was about going back in history to make sure historical events took place as it should.

So, I can't think of any event in Trek where existing reality is altered. Unless you mean existing reality is altered permanently in the future?
