I’m at home, packing and waiting for word that everything is done and recorded, and I notice that SyFy has an OST movie marathon on, so it’s been going in the background as I do stuff. Khan was on, and as it was ending on it’s sappy moment, I’m thinking to myself, well, at least I’ll get Christopher Llyod’s klingon, but then I notice that they are skipping 3 and going straight on to 4, my fave OST movie. It’s nice to see recognition that 3 was really a place holder movie.
I like to imagine that when the disappear from my game board, they are reappearing on-board some angry klingon vessel =)
Also the Chuzzle game looks like the didn’t test on a tablet form factor =(
Last weekend’s watching of the Pirates at Princess Island was cool, but a little young for my tastes. This weekend, I think I will check out Outdoor Trek‘s production of the OST episode “The Naked Time”. Sounds like it could be entertaining.
Why didn’t transporter designers include a big enough buffer to restore any lost away team member back to the point they beamed off the ship? By TNG timeframe, it seems like the data storage requirements would be easy to solve, especially for a 4-5 person team. As a nerd with backups at work, home, and other places, it just seems sensible.
Of course it opens a whole can of worms with perfect cloning the side effect of any accidental restorations where the original was still in living condition. Or what about someone who gets horribly disfigured during a mission, but not killed…would they allow him to revert to a previous backup, while killing the maimed original? Would people make the same mistakes more often, react with less concern for their personal safety?
On the other hand, think of how much more could be accomplished by a doctor during a medical emergency, if he could beam himself down to a hundred locations at the same time.
Hmmm, could someone pirate another person by copying the transporter transmission? How would unique identity work when you can re-create a person down to a quantum level perfectly, an infinite number of times? Me’thinks the underwold of the Star Trek universe has crimes we can’t even imagine.
