They didnt want to give him ANYTHING. No money. They wanted to walk into his office and take the domain name. He said “give me $15,000,000 or I wont sell” they then hit him with a $10,000,000 lawsuit saying that he wasnt allowed to have nissan.com

Ah yes, the Enterprise. For me, it will always be the Enterprise-D as she was the first Enterprise I knew.

Gotta say the Probert design of the movies (I-VI) just pips the TOS version for me. Its almost ‘perfectly’ elegant and balanced, and the ‘aztec’ hull pattern provides a lovely subtle texture. But hey, that’s movie model vs tv model; not entirely fair.

Hmmm. Not quite slavery, but definitely has an indentured servant feel about it. Maybe slavery??

In terms of single moments in II, my favorite is the ‘reveal’ moment in the hotel where literally all Reeve does is stand straighter, but all of a sudden clark’s gone and superman is there. Man, it really was perfect casting.
