Ponder this when you wake up this morning, enough to read this. ;-)

This season of Enterprise takes place in 2154. My source: Rick Berman, Exec. Producer. And, no, I do not know him personally. I got the information from an interview he does for the Star Trek Communicator, a magazine I get 6 times a year. He stated that Enterprise takes place 150 years beyond our current time.

If Surak died 2000 years prior to 2154, he would have died in 154 AD. Given that the average age of Vulcans is 200 years, and assuming he lived a full life, he would have been born in 46 BC. He would have been 21 in 25 BC.

Timmy, I'm not doubting you, but I just cannot figure where you would have come up with his Earthly birth year of 67 BC. Unless.... Ahh, maybe I just figured out your source. If it's what I think it is, I have it too, but I have no idea where it is. Hmmmm.... Where is mine, I wonder?

Either this is a great example of needing a spell check or that magazine is sponsored by HBO's Real Sex.

Oops, it's late, it's Christmas Eve, I'm waiting for Santa and my brain feels like cotton right now. I think I need to get some sleep. That should have been Star Trek Communicator. I usually read and re-read my posts before posting them and then re-read them again just for good measure. This one really slipped past my "spell checker". Sorry.... And Merry Christmas....

Three Klingons in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine reprised their roles from the original series. What are the character names? Which were the episodes in TOS that they appeared in? What were the names of the actors?

A friend of mine once asked me to list all the captains of a starship named Enterprise in any of the Star Trek movies or series. I came up with a much more extensive list than he expected. Try naming them all (truth is I don't know the full answer to this one offhand).

You have to pay close attention to the question. Any captain of any ship named Enterprise. Length of time isn't specified, nor is alternate reality or "reset button" episodes. Continue with Jellico, Riker, T'pol...

That is captains by Starfleet official order, not just "Scotty you have the bridge".

The late John Colicos. Also played "Baltar" on the original Battlestar Galactica series. Two out of three prerequisites met, but you haven't mentioned the names of the original episodes...

Ya'll are assuming the rotation of Vulcan around the Vulcan Sun is of the same length as the rotation of Earth around our Sun. Vulcan is hotter then Earth, but Vulcan Rotation is around a red giant. I don't recall any references to the exact rotation of Vulcan around it's sun, so it would be hard to deterime the exact year that Sirak would be considered 21.

We are referring to time as it is referenced on your planet Earth, not as it is referenced on my planet Vulcan. So far, Timmy is right in that Surak was born in 67 BC (Earth Time). I saw his source....

I loved DS9 - Whatever happened to it? I mean, why isn't it (Or ST:TNG, for that matter) being shown on NYC TV?

Once More Unto the Breach was a DS9 episode, not the original series episode.

OFF TOPIC:
I just discovered something really, really cool. I use the wheel on my mouse to scroll through pages and such. I just accidently clicked the wheel and an up/down arrow displayed on the screen and just by move the mouse pointer, I could scroll up and down very smoothly. Click again, the up/down arrow disappears and it's back to rolling the wheel to scroll. Really cool!!!
ON TOPIC:

Ok, I answered all three prerequisites. What do I win? ;-)
