Kirk and his and his landing team beam aboard the defiant, only to find its crew dead (The Tholian Web)

@@francisdavis1271 It's not a lack of logic. The Defiant was caught between two universes, and the sensors didn't know what to make of it, whereas the transporter may have been receiving different readings. The ship was in a state of flux between the two universes, so this really isn't that hard to figure out in terms of the writing and what was going on in the episode.

Yes. This clip is from the original version of the episode "The Tholian Web", not the remastered HD version. If you pay attention to the original version, any time another ship of the Enterprise's type is seen, with only one exception, it's seen from far away or from an angle where the registry number and name can't be seen. This is because NBC refused to provide the show with a proper effects budget, and they only had one ship model (the Enterprise) and they crew didn't want to risk damaging the model by repainting it every time we see another ship. So the Defiant and others never actually have their name and reg. number shown on screen, are only mentioned by name, and Trekkies had a great number of guesses and theories as which ships might have which registry numbers. Later in the 70's, a fan wrote an unofficial book on Star Trek, which they gave the Defiant the randomly made up number NCC-1764. The only exception to the no name/number rule originally is the USS Constellation, NCC-1017, from the episode The Doomsday Machine. The plot required close-up shots of the damaged ship, but again NBC said no. The effects crew worked around this by going to a local hobby store and purchasing the officially licensed plastic USS Enterprise NCC-1701 model kit, putting it together and painting it, and writing "USS Constellation" by hand on the hull, with the decal NCC-1701 re-arranged to become NCC-1017, since only the Enterprise name and number came in the kit (the number really should have been NCC-1710 to be closer to the Enterprise's number, but I think they wanted to better distinguish the two ships visually by number.) When Star Trek Enterprise came around and they did the Defiant in the alternate universe in 2005, the CGI effects allowed us to see officially see the Defiant's registry number for the first time. Which, taking from the unofficial book, the producers decided to keep as NCC-1764, since it had become somewhat unofficial canon by that point. A couple years later, CBS remastered TOS to HD, but the original special effects footage camera wise was determined to be of too poor quality to re-use. CBS decided it would be better to manually re-create every visual shot in the entire 3 seasons from scratch, rather than abandon the project. In this remastered version, the ships have had all of their names and numbers made visible when they are seen, and all are taken from the 70's book.

jpowell180 I think you might be referring to VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA. Yes, I've seen it, and the movie it was based on. And LOST IN SPACE. And many others. Science fiction in those days was widely regarded as 'kids stuff' and as a result sci fi shows were given fairly meager budgets. The budgets may have been on par with the westerns and cop shows that were the staples of television drama back then, but sci-fi has a lot more costly special effects. So, in effect, one could say that the budgets of sci-fi shows were not what they should have been. Which makes the achievements of STAR TREK all the more impressive to me.

3 seasons. Enterprise had 4. TOS started getting popular in syndication - they even had a cartoon in the early 70s; in the late 70s, Roddenberry was going to revive the live-action series, but Paramount started to get cold feet, so they told him to make a movie instead. Star Trek: The Motion Picture had great FX, a great director (Robert Wise), but the story was boring. Paramount noticed that, while not a blockbuster hit, the film still made a modest profit, so they allowed a second film (albeit with a much smaller budget); Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was a huge hit with audiences, and was more action-oriented (like the original series); this opened the door for a huge franchise that didn't stop until 2004. JJ Abrams made his reboot five years later, and now a new (prequel) series is in the works, Star Trek: Discovery - which takes place in the original (Prime) Star Trek universe, a couple of decades or so before the Original Star Trek series (NOT in the JJ-Verse).

Why/how was Enterprise following Defiant? Presumably, Starfleet Command lost contact with Defiant and sent Enterprise to search starting with her last confirmed location and knowing what her expected destinations were after that. What kind of ship? Same class as Enterprise. Crew? The few bodies we saw seemed to be human or close (I doubt they were spending any extras on alien makeup etc... with all the money for Tholian ship model and special effects in this episode. If by "what kind" you mean normal exploration or warship testbed or black ops...? I don't know. I wasn't much of an 'Enterprise' series fan, so I don't remember if that mirror episode gave any clues. I like the story from the Starfleet Corps of Engineers series of books (yeah, I know - not canon unless they use it later for something else) that had 24th century Tholians rediscover it still drifting in interphase, make an offer to the Federation, Captain Gold and the SCE team on the DaVinci get assigned to recover the ship. The DaVinci crew discover that Defiant had answered a distress call from a Klingon colony (near Tholian space) under attack, arrives to find all dead and unidentified attacker gone, finds some tech left over from the attack, realize it's Tholian, try to quietly & inconspicuously get out of border territory and back to the Federation, to give the find to Command so it can eventually be given to the Klingons. Trying to avoid detection in/near Tholian space, they try to stay off the beaten path, which leads to them stumbling into the interphase rift and getting trapped. When Captain Gold tells the 24th century Tholians about the find (without realizing the full significance of it), the Tholian commander decides it would be better to attack, let the Defiant disappear back into the rift, and eliminate witnesses - rather than rile up the Klingon Empire by exposing the Tholians' responsibility for the death of that long-ago colony. Fortunately, the DaVinci crew survives the attack and escapes the trap (yay! everything is better with engineers!). The Federation sends for Ambassador Worf to get both parties to the negotiating table before the revelation leads to a war.

A drunk Scotty is better than 99% of the sober officers in the fleet.

Wait wait wait, there was a Defiant ship in Kirks era? How? Why? In Deep Space Nine they made it sound like there was no other ship that existed until the Defiant was made. But it was kept in storage. So did the creaters of the show forget about it? Did the characters forget? And why did the ship have such a massive change?

This is the Constitution-class USS Defiant NCC-1764, not to be confused with USS Defiant NX-74205.

It's a common military ship name in real life too. As is Enterprise. There were two at the Battle of Trafalgar, a British one and a French one and I think there was also a Defiant.

@julianaylor4351 Well I'm familiar with the Enterprise ships. But that is interesting to know.

It is never stated that the Defiant-class Defiant was the first ship to bear that name. But it is true that unlike the Enterprise, the registry number was not reused. I see two explanations for this. Perhaps reusing a registration is a rare honor. But it is also possible that since the new Defiant is a prototype, and therefore must have an NX prefix, it was decided that it would have a new number.

What do u expect? back in the day the TOS producers were doing the best they could given the budget they had to work with since they didint have time to come up with no other concept for such other sci fi 23rd century TOS star trek space suits.

De Kelly's (McCoy) suit was found in the Paramount costume room a few years back. As I recall it fetched over $100,000 at auction!!
