h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I think I read that too, It was in a novel full of short stories, I think. Could be wrong. I don't think they've ever actually addressed it on a show or movie.

Archer's name does appear in the Nemesis movie. In a scene where Picard is with Data looking at a star map with the location and names of some starfleet ships we see that the very last name in the list is one ship called the USS Archer.

Well spotted!

ummmm... sorry is it just me or wasnt kirk supposed to be the first captain of the enterprise? i didnt think there was anyone before him.

Well, actually there was Chistopher Pike before Kirk, and Robert April before him.

really? i know pike existed but i didnt know he was captain of the enterprise... who was that other guy you mentioned?

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Enterprise for quite complete information.

Which Star Trek Project are you talking about?

the star trek project right here on h2g2...
its really fun they have a starfleet academy and lots of other fun stuff.

Haven't had a look. I'll check it out.

good. i really enjoyed it. i'm trying to become a proff. it'll probably take me forever and a day but i'll get there eventually... i'm going to teach romulan history.

Dragging it back to the theme song for a moment, sorry to all those who hate it; A new series started a while back with a remix of the theme. The original was more of a ballad, which I personally did like, I fell it had power to it and really love it. But this one has a back beat and pop score making it sound too modern, designed for a generation that have no time for anything that isn't drum-mixed. Have they re-recorded the vocal line or just remixed it?

Thanks

Yeah, I noticed the new version, not sure exactly what they've done to it. It is better than the old one. I still don't like it though. Mostly, I tend to skip over it, or mute it (because I like the images in the opening sequence). Guess they can't please everyone.
My favourite Star Trek theme is DS9.

I've noticed in the new series it's called 'Star Trek Enterprise' now. Wasn't it just 'Enterprise' in the beginning?
