It's hard finding questions. I like to answer them but not give questions. But here is one:

This is very hard one, maybe. Where did Gene Roddenberry come up with the Vulcan Salute. What is it's Origin?

I saw this during an interview with Leonard Nimoy. I think he said it was from a gesture given by Israel's high priest during some ceremony using both hands lifted up in reverence to God. Symbolizing by making the signs of hebrew letters representing God. Im not sure of which letter.

Awesome. I didn't know alot of people saw this. That is right. The Vulcan Salute is the name of God (YHWH).

Now someone ask a question.

Read I Am Spock by Leonard Nimoy if you haven't. I believe he talks about this in the book. And it's a wonderful book.

Who were the aliens in Star Trek: Insurrection who were a break-off race from the Ba'Ku who wanted revenge on their families for exiling them years ago? F. Murray Abraham played their leader, Ru'afo.....

Son'a
F. Murray Abraham was also in"Scarface"

Yes!

And you read my book?

 

[pointman7a]

Yes!

And you read my book?

Yep, started it the other night.It's great Thanks!...it seems word for word from the TV episode with some additional written thoughts from the characters. Gives it a different perspective on reading their thoughts. Is that the purpose of re-writing from TV scripts? like a enhanced version.

 

[gurneyhalleck1]

Well, it was like the metaphasic radiation and remnants of supernovae in the area made it extremely dangerous to navigate through. You could only go on impulse power through it. Communications are funky inside it and it's thick like a briar patch? That's my feeble rememberence there! LOL

Honestly, I did it because it's a cool episode.

I added some scenes, both from my own imagination and from scenes in the script that weren't included in the final episode. Some of the extra scenes are ones I added (such as Picard waking up at the beginning), but others are based on stuff that was cut from the actual script, such as the bit at the beginning of the scene when Riker is showing Shelby to her quarters. The script itself can be read here: Part 1 and Part 2. A lot of the stuff I added is in Part two, where I tie it in with Regeneration (the Enterprise episode) and also where I go into a great deal more detail with what Data experiences when he's connected to Locutus.

There was only one bit that was in the script that I didn't include, and that was the end of the scene with Riker and Deanna in Ten Forward, where Guinan offers him a job as an entertainer. I left it out because it didn't seem right to end such a character driven scene with a joke.

What was the name of the alien creature that Lor could summon at will to attack the Enterprise in Datalore?

 

[pointman7a]

What was the name of the alien creature that Lor could summon at will to attack the Enterprise in Datalore?

That's easy...
Crystalline entity ...I don't remember if it actually had a name.

 

[gurneyhalleck1]

That's it. Never said it was complicated! Your turn, ask away...
