Marcroft Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 In Voyager Season 4 Random Thoughts - images were shown from the film Event Horizon. Aside from the fact that its a Paramount Film, just how did Tuvok see these images? Is Event Horizon part of the Trek Universe? Does USAC predate Starfleet - as that film was set in 2047. If so how did Tuvok see those images? I have always wanted to do a tie in episode with this film too - its a film that despite the fact that I know is awful, I just seem to watch over and over again and enjoy. re Image below Not a spoiler as such - but I didn't want to offend. - Cant seem to get it to hide/reveal in the same way though.

mateya Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 event horizon is a movie. imdb http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119081/ but then again, Ive seen similarities with event horizon many times, last in the threshold pilot. everywhere where the grossness is present :) ok, afterall its a horror sci-fi so.. and yes this is the ep (Random Thoughts) where belanna is told she must undergo an engramatic purge. tuvok investigates the incident and lures conspirator into a mind-meld with the promise of transferring his violent thoughts to him (they are dealing this thoughts in the black market (telepathic race), hence belanna as the perfect target in the first place).

Marcroft Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 Interesting though whether or not this implies that the two are related? I mean the technology isn't that massively advanced used in Event Horizon - I do wonder if that means its part of the Star Trek history - although I almost certainly know its not. NB: - I did develop a storyline involving an experimental Federation Ship - the Cobra Class (basically the engineering section of the Sovereign - without Nacelles but still the pylons), to feature within one of the season of my Star Trek Nemesis story idea's. - That would have basically been similar to the events that occurred in Event Horizon.

Tenebrae Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 The best way of explaining it in terms of continuity? Tuvok went to his local holodeck and watched Event Horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 The best way of explaining it in terms of continuity? Tuvok went to his local holodeck and watched Event Horizon. If he wasn't Vulcan, sure. But at his stage in life I doubt he'd need to watch it for obvious reasons like studying humans or humanity's past, thus he'd have no reason at that point to watch it. Ironically though that's the simplest and most probable explaination, if there was one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Nah, just assume that season 5 of ENT would have had an episode that made movie nights mandatory aboard all starfleet vessels and then imagine that Neelix organised them as a "moral boosting" exercise and that Janeway used that annoying voice of hers to get Tuvok to attend. It's actually not that much of a stretch considering how badly Trek continuity has been mauled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostShadow Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I just think that they needed violent images for the Eps and what better viloent image than a man on fire? So i dont think that there is any real conetcion other than the need for vilent images, and the image it self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mateya Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 oh please, every man is similar to all the other men when is set on fire. hairless, bloody flesh, unberable smell.. of course they look alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcroft Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 Not a question of it being similar, its a question of the image. Thats like saying all Borg look alike, yet the Borg from TNG look far more basic then those in Voyager say, or that one Klingon looks alike, yet you have the Klingons in TOS and those in the films and TNG + Three images from Event Horizon was used in Voyager - I was just wondering if there was just toying with the idea of a crossover link.

bbbb Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I really doubt there is a link between Trek and the movie Event Horizon. I'm sure they were just trying to get eery sci-fi images for the episode. What they are saying here is that Hitler was connected with Trek and that Winston Churchill is some kind of proto-Archer. Really, if you wanted to make a Trek episode with scary images would you really want to go to the trouble of making new scenes or would you simply take frames from a new sci-fi and mix it in? Much cheaper that way and more effective. Besides, most people had not seen Event Horizon when the episode first aired so they wouldn't recognize those frames very well.

bbbb Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Remember, these guys want to stay within their budget! That means taking scenes and fitting them in for effect. It's like when they take old WW2 footage and mix it in with old black and white movie or TV footage. Are you really going to go to the trouble of buying tanks and guns and stuntmen to recreate images that were already done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
