[QUOTE=tdn] [Re: STV] …ILM had a lot of big projects that summer. What big blockbuster did most Trekkers (including Walter Koenig) put the blame on? [/QUOTE] Don’t think this was ever answered, was it? What is the correct answer? ---

Also previously unanswered: _147. Portraits of which two historic leaders hang in the Enterprise-A’s wardroom when Kirk hosts a dinner with the Klingon Chancellor and his party?_ Abraham Lincoln and Surak - not so coincidentally, the two statesmen “recreated” by the Excalibians in TOS “The Savage Curtain.” (The portrait of Lincoln was part of the big Christie’s ST auction recently, and sold for $1900). ---

^^^No, none of those two franchises had a film released in '82. I’d say “E. T.” Sir Rhosis ---

[QUOTE=Peter Morris] No replies to this? [/QUOTE] We give up. Tell us, please! And some more questions: 1. What two Starfleet ranks, established in TOS, have not been mentioned since? 2. Chekov has how many brothers and sisters? 3. Other than its captain, the entire crew of what starship dies in TOS “The Omega Glory”? 4. What alien race stages a surprise attack on San Francisco during the Dominion War? 5. Picard got good advice from what wise Starfleet Academy gardener? ---

1. Describe “the Picard Maneuver.” 2. Everyone complains about Kahn recognizing Chekov in ST:II, even though it is easily fanwanked. What is even more anachronistic about Khan when we meet him? 3. When Nog served as a cadet on the Defiant, what would have happened if everybody but him had been killed? 4. Vulcans seem to have difficulty remembering their rank (or everyone else does). How do we know this? ---

1. None, he is an only child, though he imagines a brother he calls Pieter in _The Day of The Dove_. 2. The _Exeter_ 3. Boothby 4. He wears a Starfleet emblem? I’ll come up with some more ?s later. Sir Rhosis ---

[QUOTE=Sir Rhosis] 174. He wears a Starfleet emblem? [/QUOTE] What’s the problem with that? Presumably it belonged to his wife, who was originally one of Kirk’s crew. There’s a lot of anachronisms about Khan, eg his role in a major war that didn’t happen in real life, space travel, human genetic engineering and suspended animation in about 1980 I think it was, and so on. Also, the relative dates of Space Seed and TWOK are inconsistent, some references indicate they are about seven years apart, others indicate they are 20 years apart. ---

[/QUOTE] Right, except that I believe Chekov’s fictitious brother would use the Russian spelling “Pyotr.” As to 174., I thought the same thing - Khan wears a metal Starfleet-insignia-inside-a-ring (broken) as a medallion; that particular insignia wasn’t adopted until after he was marooned on Ceti Alpha V. ---
