Chrismith-If true, that would mean it’s the S.S. Enterprise we saw in the first Star Trek movie, not any U.S.S. Enterprise. I’ve always wanted to know more about it.
F.X.-I was referring to Q/Prince, not 790/E.M.H. And the Lexx doesn’t blow up every planet it comes across. Neither Stan nor Zev ordered the Lexx to destroy Brunnis-1, Potataho, Leester, Liber, Nook, Woz, or Water.

Whovian, Froudian, Lexxian, etc.Basically all Enterprises (TOS,Movies,and Next Gen) Have had the USS,but the title ship in Enterprise has no USS just NX-01
I love the retro nature of certain aspects of it,note the warp nacelles and the hull lettering.
I wonder if the interior will have some retro aspects to it?
I loved the shape of the bridge consoles.Also notice that every ship in TOS had a different insignia.
I’m assuming Enterprise will have the arrowhead symbol.Of course I can’t get UPN in my area,so I’m an unhappy camper.

C_sThat’s not the S.S. Enterprise I was talking about. The S.S. Enterprise seen in the first Star Trek movie was a 22nd Century space ship (not the same as a starship) with no warp nacelles and no saucer section. Since all we ever saw was one picture of it I’ve always been curious as to what it was like, who its captain was, etc. Where’d you get that picture? Is it official?

Mine was funnier.
Giggerota destroyed Brunnis-1, Brother Randor destroyed Nook, Mantrid destroyed Potataho, Leester, Liber, and Woz, and Prince destroyed Water.
Captain, blowing up that planet is in direct violation of the Prime Directive. And it won’t get your toupée back. It’s gone, sir.

DalekTek,I think you mean this.
Original early design for The Enterprise when TOS was in production. Made it’s way into Trek History as an early 22nd century ship. Obviously used by Earth before the formation of The Federation.NX-01 Enterprise is official. It’s on all the preview material.
There you have it.

I’m hoping, at least, that it’s got some dark humor. I got sick of how all the Trek storylines ended – all shiny & tidy and wrapped in pretty little bows. Lexx has awakened in me a hunger for chaos, dissatisfied characters, nasty things happening to regular people, baaaad ‘good guys,’ etc.

That’s the one. I so wanted it to be the star.
The “NX” prefix means it’s an experimental ship. The Excelsior, Defiant, and Bradbury all carried NX registry numbers. The Excelsior‘s was changed to an NCC between Star Trek II and III, presumably when the transwarp project was terminated. The “01” makes me wonder if this was the first starship ever.
I don’t mean to sound condescending to the devoted Trekkies here, but casual Star Trek viewers may not already know the nomenclature.

Interesting points, DT, but I don’t see the Lexx crew as crusading to set wrong things right or protect good and thwart evil – except to protect their own selves alone. Stan’s and Zev’s only crusade is to get laid, eat well, find a nice place to relax. Kai will protect the innocent from baddies, but it’s not a crusade with him – more of a habit of his nature. And usually somebody has to insist or he’ll just stand there while evil romps.

Sorry, but that burst of inspiration came in a fit of peak. I was in dumbfounded amazement that Lexx was compared to Star Trek. If I were a total S.O.B., I would have replied with hateful derision. But that ridiculous idea presented as a profound fact struck me as having a ludicrosity factor of 10.

hear hear
get used to it…the much maligned dalek tek does often have good stuff to contribute too so we tolerate the occasional lapses into insanity…albeit with some snarky repartee…love fxBefore I start I’m a hardcore Trek fan,16 years and still going strong.
But the main thing that bugs me about Trekdom. No it’s not all aliens miraculously know English. I actually heard a Delta Quadrant alien on VOY make referance to a wooden sled. What?
Actually,all ships have 2 warp nacelles. Even all the alien ships have double warp nacelles. That seems odd to me.
Another thing Odo’s commbadge was part of his form. Another mystery. Nothing big though. Just Trek oddities. Anyhoo…
…got Trek?——————
C_sChrissmith- I swear that I saw Odo take off his badge a time or two, so maybe in the magical world of Trek when he shapeshifts he absorbs it or… something. As for the everyone speaks english thing, apparently the com badges are “universal translators” as was explained in the Voy episode with Amelia Earhart. Everyone around them hears what everyone else is saying in their native language. There is also mention of this in the voy episode with the “thinktank” that wanted 7. Of course there are the inevitable
continuity errors, when the crew’s com badges were taken from them they still understood the aliens, maybe proximity of a few hundred miles or so is enough and the UT even works when the combadge is broken… but who cares, it’s the magical world of trek and anything is possible!“There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.” – Ecclesiastes 1:11
——————
spooooonI just read the feature on Enterprise in TV Guide – now I’m looking forward to it with more optimism. The phrase “more shock and horror” particularly interested me. Anybody else read it?
——————
-Aurora-um, I just thought of something else about the UT. There’s no period of adjustment or anything- the UT instantly translates even without ever hearing the language before. So, what we have is a telepathic UT that works even while being broken hundreds (or in some cases-millions) of miles away. Oh yeah, and automatically puts all alien words in a cultural context understandable to everyone (this accounts for the sled thing) except for certain Klingon words which remain miraculously untranslated.
I love Trek.
Anyway, I thought about the Klingon problem. For the purposes of continuity… um, yeah, that’s what I said.. old Klingons would have to have the cranial ridges because every representation of Kai-Less, the grand old geezer of the Klingon Empire, has them (that I’ve seen).
Here’s a possible solution to the ridges/no ridges thing. Early Klingon ships didn’t have especially good radiation shielding, the excess radiation caused their DNA to mutate, which caused them to lose some pigmentation and their cranial ridges, temporarily, with time their genetic structure returned to its original state, and successive ships had better and better shielding, so there was less and less mutation until the *present* day when there is none.
I’m not an afficianado of the first Trek so I’m not sure if my theory would work in all cases. For instance, if Kirk had ever encountered a some hundreds year old colony of Klingons, incapable of space flight, or if he’d ever gone down to the Klingon homeworld and all the Klingons had had the *mutation*, then my theory would need some, um, modifying. All in all, I believe it covers all the bases, but I’ll have to see what y’all say.
