2. Look, just because the Prime Directive keeps them from disclosing who they are
when they slingshot the sun and travel back in time to (when else) the 20th century (except to whale biologists who conveniently have no friends or family who will miss them and whose absence does not screw up the time continuum - which is kind of a sad thing when you think about it)....


where was I?

Oh, yeah, so just because of the parameters which I have just divulged in my previous utterance...

Oh, never mind. :silly:

3. And nobody notices that the Monterey Bay Aquarium has been renamed
the Cetacean Institute, and Scotty can type a b'skillion words per minute with two fingers even though he doesn't know what a mouse is...

4. It IS real - a real franchise.
A bona fide money-making-gold-mine-never-going-to-even-end-in-our-lifetime-god-help-us franchise.

7. When Micky Dolenz once said in an article.....
"The Monkees were a TV show......we aren't hanging out in a beach house any more than William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy are running around in space suits saying "Beam me up, Scotty".

10. Well, strictly speaking, STAR TREK takes place in Teh Future...
Edited on Wed Dec-03-08 08:18 PM by Bryan
So we can't necessarily rule it out. I mean, I wouldn't want to go on record that Star Trek isn't real; what if World War III breaks out and the war-ravaged nations of the Earth are taken over by genetically-engineered supermen? I'd look awfully stupid.

12. It is real, it just hasn't happened yet. Do you not grasp the linear nature of time?

16. First time I was exposed to Star Trek, I knew it could never be real.
Nothing in life sucks that much.
