[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 5517985, member: 34175"] Your reference is spot on, that is trilithium, or at least it was, even the authorized toy line by Playmates had the info on the blister cards (I have one some where, but for the life of me I don't know where). But it later changed as the writer's got sloppy on following up details. Meh, it's Hollywood, what are you gonna do? "Smear" campaign was probably a little harsh on my part, but the Okuda's did say some pretty nasty things about FASA's handling of the histories (even though up to that point they had been given free reign to fill in the blanks). This was one of the things that caused Trek fans to lash out at FASA in various newsgroups and bulletin boards, and yes that led to FASA eventually folding, along with the Paramount/Roddenberry lawsuits. Popular opinion turned against them and they never really recovered. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm completely spot on on my history, but there was a lot of "glossed over" nastiness. I have loved Trek in all of its forms except Enterprise. If it were up to me everything else would be canon and THAT PoS would be out the window, but, I don't hold the licenses, the producer's seat or the power to change it. No biggie. (BTW there were some very good episode of ENT and the actors did a fine job, but there was just so much .... inconsistency it just got annoying to me, I stopped watching during the last two seasons, and for me, THAT WAS a big deal. ;) Live Long and Prosper.... Peace and Long Life. [/QUOTE]
