ENT: What's a Klingon colony doing on a Greek island?

I was watching the latest episode of enterprise (4x16 Divergence) when I noticed something strange. The Klingon ships started attacking the Klingon research colony. I noticed the island they where attacking was identical to the Greek island of Lesvos (The surrounding islands were identical to the surrounding islands of Lesvos also). I wouldn't have noticed this if it weren't the birthplace of my parents.

 

You can check it yourself. From the "enterprise 4x16 divergence [lol bt]" torrent download, You can see the island as it is attacked at 32 minutes 50 seconds into the episode, and also 33 minutes 15 seconds into the episode. You will see Lesvos, with the rest of Greece to the west, Turkey to the east, and the island of Chios to the south. I thought it was supposed to be a research colony on some remote planet, not earth!

 

Here are some real maps of Lesvos...

B) Would that make your parents Lesvians? Lesvanians? Lesvosites? B)

 

No offence intended ... but ... maybe I should just go to bed ...

 

To make an effort at being more mature:

 

I think it's really cool that you recognized the setting. About a dozen years ago I got to visit (with my dad) the villages where my father's ancestors lived, worked, and in at least one case, were butchered. That visit was one of the most intense experiences of my life ... nearly on par with the birth of my children!

 

Have you ever gotten to visit Lesvos? With your parents? If not, move heaven and earth to do so - it can be well worth whatever it costs.

Weird. Who first noticed this?

I noticed this myself several hours ago, when I first watched the episode.

It's actually "Lesbians", believe it or not. I love telling people "My parents are lesbians!", and seing their reaction.

 

Anyway, I did go to Lesvos a few years ago, when on holyday with my parents in Greece. Also, long before that, when I was still a little tod and my family lived in Greece, we would spend every summer there. Never saw any Klingons, unortunatly.

Hehe! Lesbians? You gotta be joking!

 

BTW, i did try looking for the shot of the island that resembles the greek island, but since i don't have the lol release of divergence but rather nite's instead, I couldn't find the right place in the file. Perhaps you could take a screenshot of what you mean and post it here? You don't have to though.

You have to compensate for the missing intro, the fight scene starts at 31:30

I tried to do that, but I cant seem to work out how to take a screen shot from an avi clip. Doesn't seem to work. The screenie just seems to have a black area where the avi image should be. And when I play an avi clip while looking at the image, the clip that I'm currently playing just appears in the image, in place of the black area.
