I'm positive it's not what they were headed for, but it's good enough to make it nag less. <br /><br />But could they have gone out with a bigger bang or on a higher note if they'd tried? I don't think they could have.

So the moment of its formation is the singularity of sorts, with an "hourglass" shape of effect in spacetime. Thus, the scenes in which the anomaly is affecting the 3-nacelle Enterprise are depicting the other end of the hourglass.<br /><br />It's speculative, but it helps explain an otherwise inexplicable continuity error.matthewweflenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540521459703556959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-36651141771501017112012-09-03T20:34:00.881-05:002012-09-03T20:34:00.881-05:00So, can you explain how this "hourglass effec...So, can you explain how this "hourglass effect" that you postulate would work? Because that's the one thing that truly bothered me about this episode. (I was floored by the thing as a whole, and cry every single time, but this still nags at me.)<br /><br />If they were there to see the formation of the anomaly, they should have seen it shrinking into non-existence, not forming into a cohesive thing. It should have been there when Starfleet did its long-range scans, and it should have been there when the Pasteur went looking up until the point where the Pasteur activated the tachyon pulse. (Spell check wants that to be tachycardia. Silly spell check.) Then it should have shrunk into nothing at the point of formation.<br /><br />I am intrigued by your hour-glass-shaped-explanation; can you go into it further?Saranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-26469555159818771452012-07-16T09:15:58.622-05:002012-07-16T09:15:58.622-05:00I just read your review.

Its funny I like how you mention the Seinfeld finale. When I saw that episode the first time I hated it. It was not until I was older that I realized how brilliant that finale was at showing how truly awful those four people were. I can only imagine that AGT ages just as well.sirkatzalothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196996609340706645noreply@blogger.com
