  Physics and Star Trek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Star Trek is first and foremost a vehicle for entertainment, and the primary aim of the writers is to deliver drama, not science.
Many of the technologies "created" for the Star Trek universe were done so out of simple economic necessity — the transporter was created because the budget of the original series in the 1960s did not allow for expensive shots of spaceships landing on planets.
In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode entitled "Starship Mine", the Enterprise docks at a space station to remove "baryon" particles, which supposedly build up on the hull of the spaceship during warp travel, necessitating periodic cleaning.

 Scimitar (Star Trek) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Reman Warbird Scimitar was a very powerful starship in the Star Trek universe that appeared in Star Trek: Nemesis.
Not only could the Scimitar fire while the cloaking device was engaged, but it didn't give off tachyon emissions or residual antiprotons, like other Klingon or Romulan cloaking devices do, making it completely undetectable.
The Scimitar itself was designed to produce large amounts of the deadly radiation, enough to eradicate all life on a planet.

 User:Scimitar - Memory Alpha
I'm partial as well to the Star Trek Movies although I thought that Star Trek: The Motion Picture was far too long and that Star Trek: Nemesis was deeply flawed.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek: First Contact are my favourite of the films with Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country coming closely behind.

 RSA: Star Trek: Nemesis
A majority of those torpedoes actually missed the Scimitar, altogether, due to its cloak and the inability of the Enterprise's computers to judge where the Scimitar was moving from visual feedback produced by shots that did strike the Scimitar.
Some have claimed this as proof that shields don't stop physical impacts, or that the shield energy of the Scimitar could not have exceeded the KE of the Enterprise, but these are preposterous claims.
In the case of the Scimitar, we either have a secondary shield system that cannot block physical impact (which would assume that the primaries could, and that they had failed at this point), or that technobabble was employed off-camera while we watched proceedings from Shinzon's point-of-view, or that his new cloaking system required oddly-configured shields.

 Jammer's Review: "Star Trek: Nemesis" (2002)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Months before Star Trek: Nemesis was released in theaters, I kept telling people that its box-office performance would be the true barometer to indicate the public's actual current interest -- or disinterest -- in the Star Trek franchise.
I can't say for sure, but it could be that Star Trek simply seems obsolete in the world of cinema today, where we have hugely successful, younger franchises like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and The Matrix.
Yes, Trek II left a similar door open, but it wasn't nearly as blatant about it; we could accept the emotions on their given terms, which made so much sense in the context of the movie.

 Ground of Heaven
Bar-Sav/Perseus is armed with a sickle-shaped (like a crescent Moon) scimitar, a potent weapon against the powers of darkness, and it is this weapon that the hero uses in his fight with the Sea-Monster Cetus, a representation of the Babylonian Tiamat, primal monster of chaos.
Therefore the 2 stars together with a crescent Moon repeatedly carved on the boundary stones may have represented what the ancient astrologer/priests saw in the sky on the 1st of the month of Nissanu (Nisan), at every spring equinox, 8,000 years ago, at the beginning of the Age of Gemini.
The "lucida" or determinant star of the constellation is Al Rischa, alpha Piscium (29 Aries) the star in the knot of the cord and the easternmost in the constellation.
