First of all, the Enterprise travelled to Nimbus III, then afterwards, once Sybok and his followers took control of the Enterprise, it travelled to a region near the centre of the galaxy, behind another great barrier. And it was pursued all the way their by a Klingon Bird of Prey.First of all, the Enterprise didn't travel to the center of the galaxy, but to Nimbus III, a planet near the center of the galaxy, so your flawed logic started wrong, Sybok. Nimbus III is not an afterthought, it's the destination in the movie. And are you sure they started on Earth, or you're assuming that as well as you just did with the "center of the galaxy" fallacy?
When I said it was an afterthought, I meant in the context of the distance covered in the film by a Constitution-class starship. From Earth to a region close to the centre of the galaxy and back. Unless Nimbus III was in a perfect line up between Earth and the ultimate destination behind the great barrier, then that means the Enterprise travelled even further - in one film. I thought it best to leave it out of the equation, just for the sake of keeping things simple.
And yes, I'm certain that Kirk, Spock and McCoy - along with other members of the Enterprise crew - were on Earth at the beginning of the film, because Kirk was climbing El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, in the USA, on the North American continent, on Earth, at the heart of the Federation of United Planets. When he fell off the mountain, Spock saved his life because the Vulcan was wearing jet-powered anti-gravity boots.
I've seen this film several times. Have you seen it even once?
Who said anything about future episodes?Yes... And I already asked you not to do that, didn't I? I don't want to learn things about future episodes, so I choose to disregard any extraneous information as unreliable.
I said the information was made available to viewers via literature and other means prior to the beginning of the TV series.
Simple, basic background information to give viewers some context.
If you don't want to read my reply, then you shouldn't read it or engage in this conversation.Which makes me wonder if you're saying 2900 A.D because they say that in the show or because you just bought what they told in the "basic information package" and ran with it. And no, don't tell me which one it is. Yes, and official trailers reveal the entire story of movies these days, and trailers of comedies show the best jokes in the trailer. All the more reason to avoid them. And sure, I can read everything about the show on the Internet. Even the finale. But just because it's there it doesn't mean I should see it. The less we know, the better to appreciate and evaluate the show it is, and the more the viewer depends on in order to understand the story, the more problematic the writing is.
Of course, that could well apply to almost every conversation taking place on this thread and every other one regarding BLAKE'S 7.
For the record, the last STAR WARS film I watched was REVENGE OF THE SITH. I am in no hurry to watch any more of them. I simply came across the information regarding the background and historical circumstances of the STAR WARS universe by chance recently.Well, they are not relevant to me and there's nothing wrong about being "ignorant" of a number of facts concerning a franchise I'm not particularly interested in. All I can say is that I've seen all movies but one, and I just don't remember any reference to unexplored regions in the galaxy, or why the Empire inexplicably chose not to expand into those directions. All I hear is the Empire being referred to as "Galactic Empire," so while that works for me, I'll just go with that. But the day I have to star on a TV show answering questions about Star Wars minutia in order to win a lot of money and prizes, then I promise I'll properly "study" the material.
However, if you wish to remain ignorant, that's up to you.
It's not a goal that I share.
