Weren't there four warbirds at Narendra III?

SovereignEmpire · « **Reply #4 on:** June 10, 2004, 11:21:18 pm »

There could have been, I dont remember if Garrat said how many warbirds. She probably did, and I just dont remember.

It was 4, at least in all the retellings I've heard of the story. But the Melak-type is a perfect fit for that era.

Was there ever a Lost Series novel based on it at all? I Dont think i've ever seen one. Paramount should try and explain some of this. I figure though, that the Enterprise wasnt destroyed, but captured. Because there were prisioners and such. But also, it explains why the Ambassador is no longer in production. The Romulans may have learned too much and so Starfleet stopped making it. Easier than upgrading.

Garrett simply said that there were four warbirds. Whether or not there were survivors is up in the air and depends on if you believe Sela's story or not.

Well, they never showed her in DS9 or Nemesis, so really, there is no way to know if her story is true or not.

Take a look below the middle Warbird. That's where the fourth one USED to be...
It's a GREAT pic, BTW.

Oh, I see that now. No problem correcting me.

Warbird number 4 must be cloaked.

Nah... You're all wrong... The image is a external sensor relay from the fourth warbird......

I vote for an Excelsior show. Get George Takei to revise his Captain Sulu role.I'm sure Christian Slater could be talked into revising his role ( when was his last film right?),perhaps he is Sulu's number one? Man that would be cool.Wasn't Tuvok on that ship as well ? Think of the cameo appearance opportunities. Chekov,Ohura,Scotty,Spock and dare I dream Kirk......

nx_adam_1701 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 12, 2004, 02:50:20 am »

Well i dont think theyll be up to it, 7 years thats alot of time, but i wouldnt mine seeing his daughter as captain or something, a new crew would be nice, anything besides enterprise, archer is quantum leaping more than he was back then

It's my not-so-secret wish that the next Star Trek endeavour will, first and formeost, be a well writen story. As well well writen and well cast characters will be developed to make said story all the more deep and believeable. Then, and only then should any consideration should be given to what the ship looks like.

Babylon 5 took place in an unremarkable 5-mile tube, but people watched it for the characters and story. Firefly takes place in one of the ugliest ships in Sci-Fi, but people watch it for the characters and story. SG-1 doesn't even have a ship, so people definitely watch that for the characters and story.

And I'm still confounded as to why Star Trek hasn't taken this approach for nearly a decade. Trek seems to only be watched for the space battles now, and occasionally the cat-suited chicks. Nothing wrong with having a cool ship, a space-furball of hot lookin' girl in 'em, but Trek relies on superficial elements far too much nowadays. Of which is why Voyager and Enterprise really turned me off, nothing new, despite both situations being ripe for something fresh...

I'd have to agree on this one, and I actually think some more people would agree. Space battles are always cool, but if you think about it, the last Trek movie to be praised was First Contact, and the only space battle was at the beginning for a short time, the rest was inside the ship. As for Nemesis, the space battles were the best I have ever seen, but it lacked other things.

As for a show based on the Enterprise-C, think about the ending. The final battle at Nirendra III. The entire 7 years would have Captain Garret, but then in a flash the other guy is Captain, because Garret was killed by a Klingon attack in our space. Unless the first hour of the show finale is a remake of "Yesterdays Enterprise" and the last hour is when they return to die in battle.

I think I read somewhere that before Enterprise, Sulu actually proposed a show to Paramount about the Excelsior, but they turned it down. I met Sulu two weeks ago at a Sci-fi convention in Novi Michigan, he seemed capable of doing another show. But i'm sure Paramount is kicking themselves for choosing Enterprise instead.

Yup I agree too, after voyager, ehhh, but i do still watch the shows, about the excelsior, I wish, that would be so nice to see, I grew up with TNG, and I love it, but the truth is Kirk, Sulu, TMP, it just feels better, to me that is, I love the design of the ships and uniforms, and the missions they went on felt good to watch , exciting, hand to hand combat, the dialog everything, one of my favorites is ST6 Undiscovered Country, I think thats it maybe, dont remember which number but you get maybe 20 minutes od space action bwtn the first attack on the Qonos, and the enbding with the BOP firing and the rest was either on a planet, on the ship, back on earth, i mean now it seems all they show is ships fighting, like if we're 12 year olds, I mean i like a good fight with photons and disruptors, but I also want a good story line, TMP is a perfect era to do a show, its a gap that really needs to be filled, "F" the pre tos crap, you messed it up, its done with you cant fix it right a way, start fresh, and maybe in time, youll figure something out, Star Trek Excelsior, sounds good to me lol
