In the definition of the ENTERPRISE, it is referred to as a CONSTELLATION class starship. Bjo makes the same reference again on page 250 in Warp drive. However, she does refer to the ENTERPRISE as a CONSTITUTION class starship on pages 199 and 231. The fact is it is a CONSTITUTION class starship, and the proof lies in a small reference made on page 231, which leads to a conclusive answer. The list of CONSTITUTION class starships names each vessel, along with what episodes they either appeared or were mentioned in. After the name CONSTITUTION, there is an SS in parenthesis, which is the CONCORDANCE abbreviation for the episode "Space Seed". Though it was not readily visible in that episode, the diagram Khan Noonian Singh was viewing while in sickbay was a schematic of the ENTERPRISE of the *CONSTITUTION* class. Hopefully this will be enough evidence for everyone to settle the debate and correct the error. The CONSTELLATION was the starship which battled the Doomsday Machine, and it too was of the CONSTITUTION class. If Vonda had done some further research - even just read the CONCORDANCE more carefully - she would have noticed the discrepancy. Fortunately, most other STAR TREK reference materials go with the CONSTITUTION as the class of starship the ENTERPRISE belongs to. Also on page 156, security guard Evans is described as being forced to kill the Elasian [Kryton]" in the episode "Elaan of Troyius". This is not true: Kryton grabbed Evan's phaser before the guard could stop him, and then killed himself with it to avoid disclosing why he was in engineering sabotaging the antimatter pods. On page 159 in the First Citizen definition, one of the titles given to S.S. BEAGLE Captain R. M. Merik - later called Merikus in the episode "Bread and Circuses" - by the Roman culture on Planet 892-IV, Merikus was also called the "Chief Magistrate of the Condemned", but this was not mentioned in the televised version of the episode, so it may have been only in the script. On page 161, the ENTERPRISE shuttlecraft GALILEO II was not mentioned as having been hijacked (spacejacked) by the Space Hippies in "The Way to Eden" to transport them to the deadly planet Eden. On page 175, and throughout the CONCORDANCE, Flint's android companion Rayna Kapec in the episode "Requiem for Methuselah" has her first name mistakenly spelled as Reena. In the scene where Kirk discovers the lab where Flint built Rayna, he sees a plaque over another similar female android which reads "Rayna 16". Bjo has this spelling wrong as well on pages 131 and 214. The revised COMPENDIUM has Rayna. On page 177, the three sons of George Samuel Kirk referred to by James Kirk's android double in "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" are not mentioned in "Operation -- Annihilate!", nor in the definition; only Sam's son, Peter, is mentioned and seen in the episode. On page 182, a character from "Mirror, Mirror" named Langford is mentioned. According to the CONCORDANCE, someone mentions that Uhura-2 (the book refers to all the ENTERPRISE doubles in the Mirror Universe with the number 2 after their names) did something terrible to this crewman with a knife, apparently for bothering her. However, there was no such dialogue in the televised episode. Another case of Bjo picking up something from the script which never made it to the finalized version. On page 183 in the definition of Lawton, Yeoman 3/C Tina, the final sentence "The Thasians later..." was accidentally cut off due to a printing error - the only major one I could find in the book. I presume it said that Lawton was returned to her normal human self by the Thasians after Charlie Evans turned her into an iguana in the episode "Charlie X", though we never actually see this happen. On page 191 in the definition of McCoy, Joanna (Doctor Leonard McCoy's daughter), the word intergalactic is used when it should really be interstellar (Leonard was referring to receiving mail from his daughter in "The Survivor"). Intergalactic refers to between galaxies, while interstellar refers to between stars in one particular galaxy. Joanna and her father exist in the same galaxy, of course. Also on page 191, McCoy-2 in "Mirror, Mirror" was described in the episode - according to Bjo - as "sullen". This may be in the script, but it never made it to the televised version. On page 200, the probe NOMAD is described by Bjo as "about five feet high." Spock said the probe's height was a fraction over one meter. Seeing as one meter equals 39.37 inches, or just three inches over one yard (three feet), five feet is a pretty rough estimate. On page 204, the big crime boss Bela Okmyx in "A Piece of the Action" has his name spelled wrong in the Lexicon definition and throughout the book as Oxmyx. No doubt Bjo picked up on the way his name was pronounced and not how it was spelled. Proof of the spelling Okmyx comes from a scene in opposing crime boss Jojo Krako's office, where he has a photo poster of Okmyx on the wall which he uses as a dartboard. Bela's name is spelled clearly in block letters on it. The SPACEFLIGHT CHRONOLOGY indirectly follows Bjo's spelling mistake by naming characters from planet Sigma Iotia II during the U.S.S. HORIZON's visit with two "x" in their names in the same positions as Oxmyx (Okmyx). On page 207, Bjo says that the photon torpedoes were "first used by the Romulans in their attacks, subsequently duplicated by Federation scientists." Nowhere in any episode do I remember seeing it mentioned that this is the case. Bjo may have conjectured that the Federation was "inspired" by the plasma weapon attack on the ENTERPRISE in "Balance of Terror" - the plasma energy device looking somewhat like a photon torpedo in flight - but nothing of the sort is stated that the Federation did or did not develop photon torpedoes on their own. In addition, the plasma weapon is *not* a photon torpedo, and the Romulans did not use such devices until they started using Klingon warships (in several animated episodes). On page 211, a Procedure Q is mentioned from "Bread and Circuses". This is a code signal which alerts a starship that its landing party is in trouble and requires a fully armed party to assist them. The only Starfleet "code" which appeared in the televised version, however, was Condition Green, which stated that the landing party was in trouble, but that the ship's crew is unable to do anything about it, lest they risk the Prime Directive (General Order One). Once again Bjo did not check the script with the episode as shown to notice the discrepancy. On page 215, the U.S.S. REPUBLIC is given the registration number of NCC-1373. This same number is also noted on page 231; but in "Court Martial", Commodore Stone calls out the REPUBLIC's number as NCC-1371. On page 219, in the definition of Salem (Massachusetts), the CONCORDANCE repeats what the characters in the animated episode "The Magicks of Magas-Tu" said Earth people once did to them in the town of Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 - they burned them as witches - without Bjo refuting this claim. In reality, only people in Europe accused of witchcraft were burned at the stake. Most of the "witches" in Salem were hung by the neck, while one man was crushed to death under a pile of rocks, refusing to confess his being a warlock (male witch). On page 221, Scott-2 in "Mirror, Mirror" was described in the episode - according to Bjo - as "sneering". She also assumed he drinks a lot. This may be in the script, but it never made it to the televised version. On page 244, Uhura-2 in "Mirror, Mirror" was described in the episode - according to Bjo - as "tigerish". This may be in the script, but it never made it to the televised version. On page 247, in the definition of Vina, a character in the first STAR TREK pilot "The Cage" and later seen in edited format in "The Menagerie", Bjo says that Vina was given an illusion of Captain Christopher Pike to keep her company on planet Talos 4. While the film of this event does exist in both "The Cage" and The Menagerie", it does not have the same intent in both episodes: In "The Cage" the above is true, while in the latter the scene was used to show Pike, now unfettered by his physical disabilities, walking away with Vina in the illusion of perfect health created by the Talosians, after having been brought to the planet by a sympathetic Spock. On pages 254-255, in the definitions Zarabeth and Zor K[ha]n the Tyrant from the episode "All Our Yesterdays", the planet Sarpeidon's ice age is written to have occurred six thousand years before the time the ENTERPRISE crew arrived to observe the planet's star Beta Niobe explode. In the episode the ice age was quoted numerous times as occurring five thousand years previously. I could not find the names of the actors who portrayed the following characters and were written in the Summaries cast lists as Unknown": The M113 Monster (Salt Vampire) and Sturgeon from "The Man Trap"; Sam from "Charlie X"; the Male and Female Yeoman from What Are Little Girls Made Of?"; Crewman Brenner in "Balance of Terror"; Isis (the woman, not the cat) in "Assignment: Earth"; and the Security Guards in "Is There In Truth No Beauty?" If someone who knows who played these characters could post their names in this newsgroup, I would really appreciate it. I did not post the Unknowns after the Voice cast lists in the Animateds Summaries, as there are quite a few and the task is probably more difficult - though if someone could do it, that would be appreciated, too. Excuses and Explanations - This part is devoted to items in the CONCORDANCE which Bjo tried to explain on her own without any references from the episodes themselves. Usually she did a good job, but there were times when her explanations went way off base from what was intended, and some of her ideas have since permeated through the STAR TREK world. One thing Bjo did sometimes which surprised me is that for someone who supposedly knows STAR TREK and the people who make it so intimately, she occasionally missed rather common attributes of this fictional universe. One of the most famous running themes is how many planets the ENTERPRISE came across were so much like Earth, right down to almost identical human histories. There are two major explanations for this: One is that a race of highly advanced beings the Preservers or the Arretians, perhaps?) "seeded" human cultures and other races across the galaxy on habitable worlds to keep the various species thriving. The other is Hodgkin's Law of Parallel Planetary Development, first mentioned in "Bread and Circuses". This "law" claims that planets with similar environments will produce similar life forms, probably even right down to similar histories. One planet which fits right in with these ideas is Omega 4 from "The Omega Glory", a world so much like Earth the inhabitants even had similar political ideologies, Capitalism and Communism. The one critical place the Omegans branched off was in having a massive biological war which Earth avoided, thus dividing the humanoids into two distinct groups, the Yangs (Yankees) and Kohms (Communists), with the Yangs battling to regain their land lost to the Kohms in the war. Now granted, a planet many light years from Earth developing almost exactly like our world down to political concepts is probably quite absurd, but the STAR TREK Universe begs us to accept that many planets throughout the galaxy are much like Earth (roughly three million, according to McCoy in "The Corbomite Maneuver"), so we more-or-less do, as it makes Gene Roddenberry's attempts at social commentary in the guise of science fiction so much easier to accomplish. Oddly though, Bjo does not pick up on this common theme in STAR TREK in this episode, and throughout the CONCORDANCE wherever The Omega Glory" is mentioned, she claims that the Yangs and Kohms somehow traveled from Earth two hundred years past to carry out their war. This can be found on pages 68, 159, 179, 202, and 253. She is no doubt exhibiting her incredulousness at a culture existing so far from Earth and yet being so much like us that she postulates they must be colonizers from our world, regardless of the fact that the cultures said they have lived on Omega 4 far longer than the two hundred years she gives them, and that they know almost nothing of advanced technology, something which is needed to cross interstellar space if one wants to colonize another star system. Bjo does not seem to have the same problem in the CONCORDANCE with a planet which had both Jesus Christ and the Roman Empire (Planet 892-IV, "Bread and Circuses"), nor with a world with circa 1960 Terran technology and continental land masses shaped exactly like Earth's ("Miri")! In other words, stick with Hodgkin's Law and accept the fact that in the STAR TREK Universe, Earth-type (Class M) planets are very popular, including Omega 4. One of the undoubtedly worst episodes ever aired was "Spock's Brain": Not only was the plot and all-around acting bad, but there were several informational errors made during the episode, bad enough that Bjo could not adequately explain them away, or even try to in some cases. For example, on page 230, the stardate for the episode is once given as 4351.5, when it was originally announced as 5431.4. Bjo uses an explanation similar to the one she gave Pavel Chekov in "Turnabout Intruder" for misnumbering the wrong General Order containing the death penalty: The ENTERPRISE crew was so upset over Spock's brain being stolen by aliens that they couldn't get their numbers straight. I suppose you can take this excuse or leave it, but I always thought officers of such caliber as the ENTERPRISE crew stayed cool and clear-headed under pressure; there is just no excuse for bad scriptwriting and proofreading. Bjo does not even attempt to explain the gaffe on page 225, where planet Sigma Draconis 6 is mistakenly identified as Sigma Draconis 7! The crew should just pack it in if they are under so much stress from this incident that they make critical information errors without later correcting themselves. With the millions of planets in the Milky Way Galaxy known to the Federation, one can probably expect a few to end up being designated with the same name. Such is the case with Taurus 2 on pages 235-236; "The GALILEO Seven" and "The Lorelei Signal" both center around planets with the same name. Now Bjo could have simply accepted the idea that two planets could have the same name but be completely different worlds in time and space - as she did with the two planets named Arret (Terra spelled backwards) in "Return to Tomorrow" and "The Counter-Clock Incident", though granted the two worlds do exist in separate universes and are not similar - but no, instead she claims they are one and the same worlds, with the primitive creatures from "The GALILEO Seven" occupying one area, and the advanced women in "The Lorelei Signal" occupying another area far apart. Bjo backs this up with the fact that primitive and advanced human cultures both live on Earth at the same time. This is true, but I do not think that this can apply to Taurus 2's case. For one thing, the Taurus 2 from "GALILEO" appears dark green from space, while the Taurus 2 from "Lorelei" is bright orange-yellow in color. Also, "GALILEO's" Taurus 2 exists in an area of space referred to in the episode as a quasar, which caused great interference with communications and the transporter Astronomers know a lot more about quasars now than they did in 1967, and presently believe they are the cores of very and distant early galaxies; in any event, they are not what was presented in "GALILEO"); none of this occurred with the ENTERPRISE in "Lorelei". I was also under the impression that Taurus 2 in "GALILEO" was covered in a thick fog and inhabited everywhere by the primitive giants; I saw no such conditions in "Lorelei", plus I also seriously doubt the primitives and the women would have existed side-by-side without one or the other being exterminated in the process. I do understand Bjo's Earth cultures example, but Earth is not Taurus 2, no matter which planet. [Moderator's Note: Due to the length of this article, it has been broken up into 3 smaller parts. Part 3 will appear in the next issue.] ------------------------------ SF-LOVERS Digest Thursday, 22 Sep 1988 Volume 13 : Issue 273 Today's Topics: Books - Anthony (3 msgs) & Eddings & Herbert (2 msgs) & L'Engle & THE STAR TREK CONCORDANCE [Part 3] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF-LOVERS Digest Issues #271 and #272.] The Tholians are one of the most intriguing aliens STAR TREK ever created, yet so little has been done with them, thereby leaving them quite mysterious in the process. In the only episode in which the Tholians were ever featured, "The Tholian Web", a Tholian starship threatened the ENTERPRISE for violating the Tholian Assembly's Territorial Annex of space while the ENTERPRISE was waiting for another starship, the DEFIANT, to appear from an interphase/space warped sector where our Universe and a parallel universe meet. Spock told the Tholian ship commander Loskene that he needed to wait exactly one hour and fifty- three minutes for the starship to reappear so that he could rescue Captain Kirk, who was trapped aboard it (the crew of the DEFIANT was already dead). Loskene allowed this, but warned Spock to "be correct [about the time]; we do not tolerate deceit." Unfortunately the Tholian ship disturbed the already disturbed area of space by entering into it, thus throwing the time of the DEFIANT's reappearance off. When the ship did not appear, Loskene's ship immediately fired upon the ENTERPRISE, causing Spock to reply to no one in particular, "The renowned Tholian punctuality." Bjo comments on Spock's remark thusly on page 239: "Tholians may be slightly better known to Vulcans, for Spock mentions their reputation for punctuality - a fact nobody else seems to know." Like her comments on "The Omega Glory", Bjo misses another general aspect of the STAR TREK Universe, in this case Spock's very dry and subtle sense of ironic humor when emotional incidents arise. I seriously doubt Spock or the Vulcans knew anything more than the rest of the crew of the ENTERPRISE did about the Tholians when they first encountered them, which was nothing. Spock was no doubt indignant and angry how the Tholians did not wait even one second over the predicted time before attacking the ship, and let out that one small bit of sarcasm in the heat of the moment. Unfortunately, Bjo did not get the humor, and came up with this whole idea that the Vulcans knew something of the Tholians which the rest of the United Federation of Planets did not. If that were the case, wouldn't they have told the Federation of the Tholians' fierce defense of their galactic territories, so that U.F.P. starships could avoid the area? The ENTERPRISE crew was quite unfamiliar with this part of the galaxy, the area being charted as unknown space, and if Spock knew of the potential danger from the Tholians, he would have undoubtedly warned everyone beforehand. This CONCORDANCE comment was picked up by the FASA games, which have reiterated in their brief reports on the Tholians how the Vulcans possess some "inside" knowledge of this very alien race. The fact is, Bjo just missed the joke. In "Tomorrow is Yesterday", United States Air Force Captain Christopher - after being beamed aboard the ENTERPRISE, which was trapped in his time period - asked Captain Kirk who built the starship. Kirk commented that he and the ENTERPRISE were part of the United Earth Space Probe Agency (U.E.S.P.A.). Bjo had this to say about U.E.S.P.A. on page 244: "Presumably not wishing to tell the twentieth-century Earthman too much about the future, Kirk makes up this plausible-sounding organization to explain the large starship's presence to him. The agency is never mentioned again." First off, the comment about U.E.S.P.A. never being mentioned again in the series is not true: It was mentioned in "Charlie X", where Kirk referred to it by its acronym only, which was pronounced you-spa". Also, Kirk did not use U.E.S.P.A. as a fake name to hide his and the Federation's identity; in the early episodes, that was the name given to the branch of the Federation which would later be called Starfleet, which is a bit more manageable organization title. Besides, Kirk openly showed Christopher quite a bit of the ship and Federation technology before deciding that it might be better if Christopher knew as little as possible about Kirk's time, to ensure the Federation's safety. This then is my examination of Bjo Trimble's CONCORDANCE. I invite everyone to do their own review of my efforts, to see if I was accurate or not, and to please correct me or add to my information if I made any errors. The fact that I had to really dig for some of Bjo's mistakes showed to me just how much work and time she put into this book, which I think brought a whole new level of understanding and appreciation to one of the finest science fictions series ever aired on television for many fans. I hope that my critique will add to the further enjoyment and use of THE STAR TREK CONCORDANCE and STAR TREK itself for all its fans.
