No. I haven’t. I’ve only visited…awww craaap I forgot the name of the ship…it was on the Charles in Boston.
Yeah, but how did they explain the change from the disappearing gangsters?
Duh! I just saw what I wrote! That should be TALL ships, not long ships! LOL!
IYKWIM. Naughty. Naughty girl.
Don’t know. I guess it would be something to do with what the computer did and something Moriarty did.
Which is essentially what happened with the Doctor.
That’s why we can’t trust the machines.
Here is the list of suspects:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_the_Ripper_suspects
Worth ain’t on it. In the previously mentioned Voyagers!, Bogg and jeffrey meet Sir Arthur as they chase down Jack the Ripper. Jeffrey tells Sir Arthur he should become Holmes and find the killer.
LOL! Nuh-uh! I just used the wrong descriptor! Long ships were Viking ships, Tall ships were the rigged ships that came into use much later!
I still want to be an an android, a fully functional one. Now that I think of it, R. Daneel is a mind-reading android. I hate telepaths but I don’t have a problem with telepath robots. So, I want to be a fully functional telepath android.
That’s pure fiction.
We all know that Jack the Ripper is really named Sebastian, and he’s currently in stasis on the Vorlon homeworld.
Remembered not as a reformer, not as a prophet, not as a hero, not even as Sebastian. Remembered only… as Jack.
Sounds like a cool idea. But nope, never read a trek novel along those lines.
Though that doesn’t mean one doesn’t exist.
Sorry I missed this frak last night. We watched Lost late, and then had to prepare the house to make it look like The Leprechaun had come.
I’d totally forgotten it was St. Pattie’s Day Eve. Good thing my wife remembered.
That would be the USS Constitution. Beautiful ship.
But the U.S. Navy never had any ships as big as the HMS Victory during the age of fighting sail.
That’s the one. It was a wee vessel. I bet it was bad-ass in its day, though.
I loved that line. Wayne Alexander delivered it perfectly. JMS got so much crap for using Jack the Ripper at the time, but I thot it was the most unique — and realistic, from a sci-fi POV — take on the character ever.
After 'talos mentioned it, I was almost certain that such a book had to exist, but Memory Alpha mentions his influence throughout Trek, but no books. I wonder if the copyright issues have prevented any action on that:
At the time of filming, the producers believed that the Sherlock Holmes character was public domain. After the episode aired, the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle notified Paramount that they still retained the copyright on the character, and would require a usage fee if the character was used again. This legal issue would delay sequel episodes for nearly four years, at which time an agreement was reached for use of the character in “Ship in a Bottle”. The unusual delay was subsequently referenced in the latter episode. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion).
Hmmmm, good point. Hadn’t thot of that. Still, the Moriarty character is distinctly different from the one in Sir Arthur’s works.
I doubt the estate would agree.
In any case, this episode was what? 20 years ago? If it wasn’t public domain then, I’m sure it is now. The fact that Trek’s Moriarty character was initiated while the original copyright was still in force might complicate things, though.
