Hm. OK, that is... not borne out by the actual show, in a number of cases, but then again, no latter-day revisiting of that era has honored the "only Enterprise people wear the arrowhead insignia" thing either, so I guess turnabout is fair play.

I love the laser pistol prop from "The Cage", mainly because if you look at it up close, it's clearly made out of bits of an early-20th-century manual typewriter. I used to have a toy replica of one, and it was even obvious in that. :)

Hm. Well, like I say, I have yet to hear anything about the show that makes me want to reconsider my decision not to watch it.

I'll tell you one thing for free, I don't want to work with that Lorca guy again. He's got "future war criminal" written all over him.

Not that it matters, this is an STO questline set in the 23rd century, so I'm sure that asshole Daniels will be along to transplant me and my crew to the main game's timeline any minute now, just like he does with the TOS one.
