In the episode ALL OUR YESTERDAYS which aired recently in this area, I
noted that Spock (who cannot tell a lie) told Zarabeth (this is the gal
who was exiled in the Arctic wilderness, and with whom Spock later falls
in love) that he was from a place "...millions of light years away."

My question is: Does this imply that the Enterprise was in some other
galaxy (other than the Milky Way)? Our galaxy is estimated to be about
100,000 light years across, so this seems to rule out even the most remote
(from Earth) reaches. Or did Mr. Spock exaggerate? This statement was
made shortly after his arrival at Zarabeth's cavern and before the effects
of not being "processed" by Mr. Atoz' atabachron(sp?) took hold.

I recall several times when the Enterprise reached the edge of the galaxy:
(WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE, IS THERE IN TRUTH NO BEAUTY and BY ANY OTHER
NAME), but I don't think the Enterprise ever went far beyond that. Did I
miss something?

Come on you TREK fans, let's set the record straight!
