The show I saw tonite ( title forgotten as usual - the one about ?Organians? beings of pure energy and thought who for most of the who appear as humans who dislike violence - they end up preventing a major space battle between the Klingons and the Federation ) had the Enterprise under attack from "a large fleet of Klingons". Kirk orders them to take of and they manage to do so easily ( one presumes anyway they came back with reinforcements ). Yet in TWoK the E gets wiped out by 3! Just chalk it up to another inconsistancy. Actually there are lots of inconsistancies - how often do they meet up with superior ( but previously unknown ) races or find archives of great knowledge but we never see these things again. ( pick your favourite - the "Wink of an Eye" comes to mind ). Which brings me to another question - What series of stories with the same back ground have there been. The pair where the Enterprise goes back to 20th century Earth is one set. Any others? -- Ewan ------------ Ewan Tempero "Oh no, not again" UUCP: ...!uw-beaver!uw-june!edtking ARPA: edtking@washington.ARPA Please check all nuclear arms at the door.
