[QUOTE="Rhun, post: 4812014, member: 29098"] I guess "firmly established" could be a point of contention. Perhaps merely "established" or "commonly thought" might have been a better way to put it. I'll just smile and nod that everything from that particular source is actually from established continuity and canon. :) However, it was used as the basis for Star Fleet Battles, I believe, which is why many of the FASA technical game manuals also had single nacelle ships. True, I've seen many times were continuity and canon have been departed from. It is a matter of having so many different writers, I guess. It is one of the main reasons I didn't like Star Trek: Enterprise much either. They kept changing the established timeline. In a universe as big as Star Trek, you shouldn't have to rely on changing established canon and continuity to write a good story. Also, I'm a fairly harsh judge of movies. And this one did entertain me. I just don't think it was an 8+ that the vast majority seem to think it was. And while I guess I am a trekkie/trekker, I also differ from the norm; for example, I personally think DS9 was by far the best Star Trek series. I think the term energizer was also used in TOS episode The Doomsday Machine. But those are the only two times I've heard "energizer" used in the Star Trek. Not sure why they the decided to all it something different. Perhaps one of the writers just liked the sound "energizer" better than the term reactor or core or such? I've tried finding some information on this online, but so far I've come up with nada. [/QUOTE]
