Star treks view out the window is all wrong

MooseJam

You know in star trek when they are whizzing through space and out the window you see stars approaching then disappearing backwards, thats just so wrong, for starters they'd have to be going faster than the speed of light so looking backwards you would see nothing !

The voice of experience talks, eh?

you know in bsg when ships jump? there folding/bendingspace there would be nothing too see in reallife because scientists therorise that the folding of space would distort space and you would see nothing. bsg still looks kool and allot of people would say it was **** looking if there was just no visuals and just a cut/paste scene

The op is correct, in fact only recently I found out the Kilingon Empire didn't even exist!?!

Does that mean that resistance ISN'T futile???
I know i'm intermixing races here, but feck it!!

How come whenever theres a really big emergency, the security teams walk really slowly?

It must be like those notices you see in staff areas of shops..

Why, if you wore a RED shirt did you die??

Did we already know that Sulu was gay but never admitted it till George "came out" himself ( just look at his acting )

Why did we never see what really happened to Dr. McCoy after his appearence in TSG with Data. How did he live so long

What ever happened to Scotty after he was rescued from that transporter and then left the Enterprise

why am I such a trekkie geek and ask lots of questions

Will I ever fit into that old starfleet uniform I have in my closet, Will I come out of the closet as a Trekkie.

He travels back in time to rescue Kirk from the Nexus.

They're traveling through subspace, the quantum fabric distorts their perception of space time, hence stars dragging backwards.

Nerd!! :pac:

No, the OP is correct. However travel through space-time has been shown to create an ionic-phase variance in the optical matrix of most twentieth-first century TV sets, which explains the illusion of stars traveling backwards you see on your screens when watching ships travel at warp-speed on Star Trek.

That never sat well with me.

Have you tried reversing the polarity?

How did the lads hide their big stalkers every time 7 of 9 was on duty?

MooseJam

lol thats a good question

Thought about Captain Janeway.....

IamBeowulf

More importantly, how did Picard get any work done when Deanna Troi sat beside him wearing those low cut V-tops. Hell, I know I'd be searching for some side boob.

Maybe that's why Picard did that Picard Maneuver thing with his tunic every time he stood up. To, you know, fix his warped pants.

Why did the dudes wear skirts in season 1 of TNG?

nyarlothothep

think it was something to do with equality of the sexes, women wore miniskirts and some men could choose to aswell without discrimination.

quote wiki

"the skirt design for men 'skant' was a logical development, given the total equality of the sexes presumed to exist in the 24th century."

IamBeowulf

Aw yeah I forgot about those skirts! I'll never forget the ridiculous skintight uniforms Seasons One and Two...thankfully they grew brains and made the cooler, collared, regular uniforms for everyone bar the extras. Sure even Troi lost the skirt (weyhey!) in favour of the blue Commander uniform (awww).

nyarlothothep

thats the genius of TNG, the first series in particular was hilarious, all the more so because it was unintentional. Like when Picard reprimands an officer for imagining that theres a fire in the corridor, brilliant cheese!

IamBeowulf

Or when they put Wesley Crusher, a child, untrained, at the helm of THE FEDERATION FLAGSHIP. 1000 souls in the hands of a hormonal headache-inducing little &^%$

(Excuse the emotion, I just find it a little too much to grasp, aaaargh)

nyarlothothep

True, there was one too many deus ex endings with Wesley in them, but he then did become a god or something when he joined the traveller. Although apparently he returned to star fleet in Nemesis or something to that effect. Wesley was annoying but I guess he was, in a philosophical sense, one of the most accurate representations of an annoying teenager.

Yeah the Traveler spoke about taking him to places he'd never imagined and stuff. Then he randomly showed up at Riker/Troi's wedding, dressed in a Starfleet uniform. So...the Traveler really kinda ran out of ideas and showed him...Starfleet Academy???

Ever notice how the helmsman was always screwed? I mean, OK Geordie got to goto Engineering. But Ro laren ended up being a Maquis freedom fighter (did she die? hmmm) and in Generations the kinda hot gal got blown up, Deanna took over only to crash the ship, Hawke in First Contact got assimilated and then kicked into space, and the scared-looking dude from nemesis had a first-hand experience of spacefreeze.

Data, in Ops, was quite content though. He shagged Yar, kicked his brother's ass (a common fantasy), got an emotion chip, shagged the Borg Queen (yuck, but ballsy), temporarily insurrected (hehe, insurrection), and died saving everyone, probably didn't even feel a thing. And oh what a haircut. Slick, yet modest.

Excellent points, well made.
What has disappointed me for a long time is that the Ent D conference room is at the back of the bridge dome on top of the saucer section so the nacelles and the upper surface of the saucer should be highly visible through those big windows but tragically they are not.
One thing they did really well though was to have the reflections of the stars showing up on the shiny black table top. Full marks for that one!


And lets not forget: "Number 1, I order you to go take a number two...." (slow to load)
