Vulcan/s. I am REALLY pissed at Abrams for screwing with the continuity there, btw, and despite the certainty I hear from long time fans that he will restore it, everything I have heard from him indicates exactly the opposite. I cannot believe Nimoy went along with that.


Star Trek's Continuity is worse then any other series of even vaguely the same scale, even comic books and soap operas do better, maybe with a reboot they can actually start using technical advisors for a change who could point out that galaxies are large places of known size and that military conflicts would not tend to consist of one ship verse one ship and guys with handguns, nor invariably sending the entire senior staff into risky missions, but maybe one senior officer with an escort of marines. Let's be honest, there's little of continuity worth keeping around and a total time stream switch allows one to re-build on better lines.

The sad thing is we just watched this a few days ago, and I was waiting for the line where Leia sneers at him "holding Vaders leash." Seems like I recently missed this question in another quiz, too. Admiral... Mottin? All I can remember is Viert (who, if memory serves, made a return appearance as a minor character in Zahns Dark Force Rising trilogy, one of the few good Star Wars series.)


General Veers and Admiral Motti, Motti's the guy Vader choked in the original until Tarkin told him to quit it and died when the Death Star got blown up. Veers was in Dark Force Rising and a few other things, the trilogy didn't have a name originally, and is the 'Thrawn Trilogy'

Huh; did not know Bab5 had a spinoff.


Yeah, it actually had two, Crusade plus an attempt to do one called' Legend of the Rangers' that pretty much murdered the franchise for keeps. Had Gary Cole in it, from Office Space, American Gothic, and a bunch of stuff.
