Talk:Alpha Carinae system

The contact data is an easily missed double fact from "Where No Man Has Gone Before". Mitchell states hat the Love sonnet from the Canopus Planet has been considered "one of the most passionate love sonnets for the past couple of centuries". watch the scene before replying plz. --TOSrules 01:08, Nov 17, 2004 (CET)


 * TOS, I just watched that scene, so spare me the remarks. Just because a sonnet was written a couple centuries beforehand, its doesnt mean that we were already in contact with that system.. it just means that somebody there wrote a sonnet and contact could have been made very much after that happened. -- Captain Mike K.

 * I think you missed the point of what I was saying. I was not talking about when it was written, the line talks about how the average Federation citizens has considered it the most powerful love sonnet's for the past couple of centuries. That line doesn't even tell us when it was written. --TOSrules 01:16, Nov 17, 2004 (CET)


 * Well, I think that still leaves us completely in the dark about when the system was contacted/discovered, so i dont see the point of including it in the article (except maybe as a footnote) -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 01:28, 17 Nov 2004 (CET)


 * A foot note might work, I tried to phrase it exactly as said in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" by saying centuries ago, it is totally accurate. Unlike Kirks centuries ago in "The Savage Curtain" that could apply to 200 to 900 years, this one has to fit within warp space flight and be centuries before the episode. I was wrong on one fact, "The Nightingale Woman" was written in 1996. --TOSrules 01:35, Nov 17, 2004 (CET)

Carstairs source?
Not impugning its factuality, but what's the source for this? -- Steve 07:08, 15 Dec 2004 (CET)
 * Never mind; I found it. -- Steve 07:16, 15 Dec 2004 (CET)
