Sadly, the UN Counsel against torture is still in session about Lucas’ tortured “explanation” of why “distance” is the same as “speed” instead of admitting he had no idea what a parsec was and screwed up. If they have any concept of “justice” they will rule against Lucas.

Spock will get him off, by reminding the Counsel that under the battle conditions found in the movie, Star Fleet Regulation forty-six A applies: 'If transmissions are being monitored during battle... no uncoded messages on an open channel.'

So in Lucas's defense, "distance" was to "speed" as "speed" should be to "distance." Therefore - parsecs.

And don't give me any nonsense about different universes - Scotty eventually fixed the transwarp drive. So what do you think the "trans" stands for?

Transylvania? Just a JUMP to the left...

You certainly throw me back in time when we debated which would win: The Enterprise vs. BattleStar Galactica vs. a Star Wars Corellian Cruiser (or even the if the Death Star were to show up in the Star Trek Universe).

Late nights, many beers, horn-rimmed glasses, 3D chess, Malibu nights with hot Santa winds blowing through the canyons.

God, life had and has never been so good.

What a fool I was to not capture every moment.
