At the end of Star Trek: Nemesis Data sacrifies himself by destructing Scimitar(year 2379). I thought he died. But then i searched for Enterprise F and there I saw written that:       "Captain Data was offered command of the vessel but refused."   (Year 2409).   How is he alive?

I've just read this on the :     The main setting for the films Star   Trek: First Contact (1996), Star Trek:   Insurrection (1998), and Star Trek   Nemesis (2002).[6] According to   Star Trek: Countdown (2009), Data   assumed command of the Enterprise   after Captain Picard retired from   Starfleet to become the Ambassador to   Vulcan.   (emphasis added by me)  I haven't read Star Trek: Countdown, but looking at  I read this:     The comic came about because Anthony   Pascale, editor of TrekMovie.com, kept   requesting to the film's co-writer   Roberto Orci a way of having The Next   Generation characters "pass the baton"   back to the originals. When asked   whether the filmmakers' involvement in   the comic made it canonical, Orci   stated he was in no position to   declare whether it was, though he felt   it could easily remain as such unless   it was contradicted in a future   film.   (emphasis added by me)  How could that ever be canon if Data sacrifices himself during  while saving Picard, still captain of the Enterprise?     Data arrives with a single use personal transporter and has the captain beamed back to the Enterprise before ultimately sacrificing himself to shut down the weapon and destroy the ship.   Am I missing something? Was Data revived? Was Star Trek: Nemesis un-canonized? Was Data of Star Trek: Countdown really B4?

I read a book while in the US for a few months back in the early 1990s.  I remember liking the book, and only have loose bits and pieces in my head.  The main character was a male. I believe it started with him being horribly disfigured and was thrown of a ship. He discovered he could regenerate if seriously hurt. On his journeys he picked up new abilities (He learnt how to speed up and slow down time, just for himself). He could also travel through earth.  I remember a passage where he was with the people that could control time, there was a "statue" of a woman, but it was really a woman who lost someone and slowed down time so much that she appeared to be a statue for years..  I seem to remember some sort of twist with a spaceship at the end, but I might be mixing it up with something else.  I've been looking for this book for over 15 years now without any luck. Any idea what it is?

When you think about it, not a lot of the story on how they kept Bucky alive makes sense. He was shot out of a speeding train and fell to unknown depths, only to be found by Strategic Science Reserve and kept alive by Zola, an enemy they captured. What was their thought process, "Hey, we found Cap's friend. Let's let the enemy that we're holding prisoner tinker with him."?  I'm ignoring the fact that he's been frozen and brought back over and over (makes way more sense then Captain being frozen alive and remaining in a coma state, with no nutrients for his body, until he's found), I'm more curious that they even got him to that point.

(Willfully omitting TOS and Enterprise due to the lack of ship's computer and sensor sophistication)  In the real world, lots of people are concerned about privacy and data collection policies of companies like Facebook and Google.  I can hazily recall the ship's computer in TNG being used several times to locate a crewman or passenger. Also, all crewman carry communicator pins on their chest. But what about the civilian crew aboard the Enterprise?   Was there any privacy aboard ship? Was this ever addressed in an episode? Obviously I'm looking for in-canon answers.

Simple question - What is the address they dial to connect with the Ancient ship Destiny in Stargate Universe from Icarus base.  I have found the address on  - however they have an unconfirmed order, and not sure of the validity of this.  Any help deciphering the above would be great!

There's a story my grandpa use to tell me when I was younger, about the sole survivor of of an attack on a mining vessel in space. The man lives in space for months/years, ignored by the company he worked for and never rescued. Then when he thinks he is being rescued, it's actually another set of raiders who attack him and kidnap him.  He then wakes up in captivity in some sort of prison inside of an asteroid, and has a word tattooed on his forehead. My grandpa called him Ronin (that's what the tattoo on his forehead said) but I don't know what the character's real name is. Anyways, he learns that he has the ability to teleport after having a brush with death and decides to make his way back to Earth so that he can exact revenge on the mining company who abandoned him and left him floating to die.  Does anyone know what this story or book may be? My grandpa told it to me when I was little, he said that he got it from a book he use to love reading when he was younger. I'm assuming the book is very old (possibly pre 1940's as he was born in the 20s). I can't ask him as he is no longer alive. I'm also unsure as to whether or not all the details in the story he told me, are the same as in the original.

Usually, in Star Trek, when there's a timeline change, the indication is that the original timeline is gone and replaced with the new one.  In City on the Edge of Forever, Kirk makes a comment that if they don't get the timeline straight, that millions of people who never died before will die.  Much of the time travel in Trek created suspense by declaring a need to restore the original timeline.  It's already been discussed in other questions about how, in the new movie (simply titled Star Trek with no subtitle or series number) they were unable to restore the original timeline.  While some of this is open to interpretation, it seemed like in this instance, for the first time, in Trek, there was an alternate timeline that was seen as an alternate possibility - no reference was made to it replacing the original timeline.  In this movie, was there any reference to the original timeline still existing?  In this movie, was the original timeline still considered to be intact?

In  Starfleet learns about a culture that we (as audience) know as The Borg. According to TNG, the Federation doesn't seem to know anything about these beings when . Although Archer's crew doesn't learn the name of the Borg, it would be reasonable that the Federation would inherit the information about such a menacing enemy and it would also be reasonable to assume the crew of the Enterprise-D to be able to match their encounter with their databases' information.  Obviously, out-of-universe the explanation is that the scripts weren't written in chronological order, but how can the apparent obliviousness about the Borg be explained in-universe?

We see that in DS9 the Bajoran religion is alive and kicking, but I've never seen any mention of a religion that came from Earth, or one practiced by humans.  Are any of Earth's religions still practiced in the current setting for Star Trek in the 23rd 24th century, or have they all died out? If they have 'died out', is this ever mentioned?

Starting with Encounter at Farpoint, at the very start of the series, when Riker first meets Data in the holodeck, Data, when asked if he considers himself superior to humans, says, "I am superior, Sir, in many ways, but I would give it all up to be human."  He has a desire, a want, and a longing to be human.  Isn't this an emotion in itself?  There's no reason or need for him to have such a desire.  If it's programmed into him, he would be able to find it somewhere in his memory and perhaps (if it's not read-only) re-write it.  Where could this desire come from if it's not from envy or longing or some other type of emotion?  Is it possible he had this and some other simple emotions all along?

My understanding was that Chewie was bound to Han with a 'life-debt' for Han having freed him from slavery.   In Episode VII,       Han is slain. Does this mean that all obligations arising from the life-debt are canceled?

In the begining of "" episode (Star Trek Next Generation 6x16) an Yridian tells Worf, that he has a certain information,      that Worf's father is still alive (apparently not killed in ) and is held in a prison camp on Carraya IV.   Yridian is an information broker and agrees to reveal details (i.e. location) only for a price.      Worf agrees.   How or with what Worf would pay for this? There is no economic factor inside the Federation (no money is being used) and I don't recall anything, Worf would have on board Enterprise, that would have enough value for an information this kind.

Through the years I have purchased a few Star Trek scripts. I even have a DS9 script a buddy of mine mistakenly took off set and dazzled me with at Christmas years ago. As neat as those are to own, they are impossible to search. Is there a place on the internet where the Star Trek show or movie scripts can be obtained in digital format?  (Sometimes I remember a quote and would love to find it. From time to time the internet delivers. Occasionally it does not. I want to have a resource to find quotes as I think of them.)

Regarding the advanced edition of FTL:  If all of your crew dies but you have a cloning bay on your vessel, is it immediately game over, or does the cloning bay prevent that?  Is the game smart enough to know that a damaged cloning bay and a fully dead crew means you cannot recover, but a functional one (even if temporarily without power) could revive your crew?  Also, does this answer differ between hostile ships and your own ship?  (That is, do you get to capture and loot enemy vessels that have all dead crew but have a functional cloning bay?)

At the end of , Captain Picard constructs a makeshift grave out of stones for Captain Kirk, who died helping Picard to stop Dr. Tolian Soran from destroying the Veridian system.    Was the burial only symbolic, or did Picard arrange for one of the starships picking up the Enterprise D crew from Veridian III to also retrieve Kirk's body?    Kirk was a Starfleet legend, and so a burial on Earth &mdash; with Starfleet brass and Federation dignitaries present &mdash; might have been in order.  Did this happen, or was Kirk's body simply left on Veridian III?  Since there is nothing further in the films or any of the television series about this (at least not that I can recall), any relevant information from the extended universe is welcome.

After Kivas hits Data with the acid in "The Most Toys" (), he presents the android with a choice: run around naked, or change into the purple clothes which were refused earlier.  Data chooses the latter option. What is the in-universe reason for this? Data did not want to put the clothes on earlier, and he wouldn't be embarrassed or cold if he was naked.   I guess the most reasonable explanation is that Data, as a Starfleet officer, would want to emulate a typical Starfleet officer in that situation. And the proper thing to do would be to appear presentable, even if it meant donning undesirable clothing.

In The Last Jedi, the resistance fleet, seemingly about to be destroyed, fortuitously comes across the planet Crait, and Leia "reveals" a plan to stealth down to the planet to escape.  This is news to the audience, who thus far knew that Admiral Holdo's plan was... to just keep running until they died?   ...or was it?  Did Vice Admiral Holdo know about the presence of Crait and/or intend to go there all along?  Answers directly from the movie are preferable, but other canon material is also acceptable.  Incidentally, if she did know about Crait, why was this information not shared with the rest of the resistance command?  Corollary question discussed , though I would prefer an explanation from canon material instead of speculation.
