IIRC, what the armband did was let them carry a bubble of their own time along with them. So to do what you suggest, you’d need to have time sped up to begin with, so I don’t think it can be used that way.
Ah. I was thinking of TAS. That Romulan border incident.
Silly Bosda, TAS is for kids!
(Sorry, I couldn’t resist. But seriously, folks, even among fans, ST:TAS is considered less than canonical. Except for “Yesteryear,” which is considered canon because the fans like it.)
“Once or twice,” my patootie! The phrase “beam him directly to sickbay” was practically a mantra on Voyager and the later seasons of TNG.
Personally, I’ve always considered Slaver Weapon to be canon. I’ve even lobied, nay BADGERED! certain bastards about it.
Imagine the amazing storylines possible if StarFleet was involved in the Man v. Kzin wars! To say nothing of of certain insights like having Miramani’s world set up by Pak Protectors, or Q influencing the Puppeteers to but a Star Seed Lure on a DY-100 sleeper ship!
BTW, we haven’t had Decon Goo™ in a while.
I’d forgotten that!
I was referring to the TNG ep “The Game” in which Wesley was trying to outwit the rest of the crew (which, apparently, was never much of a challenge).
Wesley’s ability to out-think the rest of the crew is just like that of Marrissa Amber Flores Picard Gordon.
Oh yes, the phaser-transporters used by the artifact smugglers who kidnapped Picard.
In the ST:TOS episode “Tomorrow is Yesterday,” the Enterprise accidentally travels back to 1960s Earth. At one point, Spock says:
“We have achieved stable orbit outside Earth’s atmosphere. Our deflectors are operative, enough to prevent us from being picked up again as a UFO.”
So, never mind the cloaking device. The ordinary deflectors of the NCC-1701 Enterprise were enough to foil 20th-century radar! Did we ever hear about the anti-radar capabilities of the deflector system again?
What I’ve always wondered, is if they can create holograms whose algorimths allow them to function mentally and emoitionally just like humans, why can’t they simply make an android body with a simple hard drive and put the hologram’s algorithm inside it? Viola! Hundreds of cheap, effective, Data-like androids. Hell, even better, they can feel simulated emotion (well, eventually so could Data, but it took a while.)
There was also an ep. of Voyager where 7 of 9 had Janeway modify her borg implants (with nothing more than pieces of a communicator badge, no less) so that she could walk through the protective shield seperating the passenger compartment from the pilot compartment of the Delta Flyer, I think. Hello? Keep that function on all the time! Walk through shields!
OUCH!
Meant TOS.
Dammit, being sick screws up my brains!
You meant the Romulan border incident in TOS? You mean the one portrayed in “Balance of Terror”?
In that case, what you said before:
… I gotta call you out on. The Enterprise only fired phasers at the Romulan ship during that episode, not torpedoes. Sure, the things they were firing looked and sounded like photon torpedoes, but the makers of that episode have admitted that this was a special-effects gaffe. Kirk and the crew only mention firing phasers throughout the episode. (If you want to retcon it, you can always say that they were firing their phasers in some kind of a “pulsed” mode, like the phasers on the Defiant in DS9.)
In TOS episode “Wink of an Eye”, as I recall it was shown that you could enormously accelerate yourself, to the point of moving invisibly fast, with an injection or ingestion of a certain drug. Sounds potentially useful.
one time I was watching a normal 2004 family live their life… and many days they would use a microwave to make food in like… 60 seconds. then thanksgiveing comes and they take like… 14 hours cooking!! hello! plot hole!
That’s because a Thanksgiving turkey has too much quantum subspace interference for the microwave cooking device to operate. So they have to send a shuttle down to the planet’s surface instead.
Too much trouble. Better to reverse the polarity of the microwave oven.
Hmmm … it does have a polarized plug…
What the fuck? Sorry, Charlie, but it’s Enterprise that’s not canonical. ( assuming Bergman is still merrily riping continuity to threads, raping the bones of a once great franchise-I haven’t watched Quantum Trek since season one) TOS is the basis for the whole enchelada.
TAS, which **tracer ** was talking about, is the abbreviation for The ***Animated ** * Series, not Star Trek, the ***Original ** * Series, or TOS.
TAS is officially known as TAA
