*giggles softly* I make no secret of the fact that there are certain aspects of Trek that I dislike. One of them is one that I have deliberately mentioned a couple of times to see if anyone would pick it up.<br/><br/>Basically it is this...<br/>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDR7suOaS-M<br/><br/>The warp drive effect.<br/><br/>Okay so seriously, the average distance between stars in the galaxy is around 4,150 light years. In that short one minute sequence which pretty closely resembled the ToS Warp drive effect probably close to a thousand white dots streamed past off the sides of the screen. So if each dot represents a star, then the ship has gone past something like a thousand stars with an average distance between them of over 4000 light years in 60 seconds.<br/><br/>The ship is thus travelling at well over 2,103,840,000 times the speed of light....<br/><br/>The obvious answer to this is that those are not stars, they are some sort of illusion, possibly a distorted reflection of the stars, caused by the warp bubble.
