There's no profit in it for Pocket to make an updated encyclopedia at this time, so why not point fans to the best available free source out there? Things may change after 2008, but for now, the fans have put a lot of thought and effort into MA, and the information there is usually at least reasonable.

No, I was thinking more along the lines of having their own wiki type site. Publishing companies are already thinking and or using the idea of online books. I don't see why an online version of the encyclopedia wouldn't work just as well.

BTW, if you've never heard of the idea of online books, keep it under your hat because you never heard it from me. I'm not sure if that's meant to be public information yet.

I'm quite aware of eBooks, and the percentage of the audience who would buy them is less than the percentage who would buy a hard-copy reference book, and the costs are just as high. As for making their own wiki site, where is the revenue stream? People will not pay for something that they can get for free, so there is no incentive for CBS to make a competing wiki to Memory Alpha.

Yeah, I guess they wouldn't do it for free.

I guess Viacom being a multi-billion dollar company couldn't afford it. Cheap bitches!

Thanks Anwar , finally someone that thinks as I do. I'm not sure if I should hug you or slap you around.

One thing that struck me as odd was that the warhead exploded yet only managed to blind Tuvok where I would've expected it to give the two some serious burns or just kill them outright. Perhaps it would've been more plausible to explain that shrapnel hit Tuvok, blinding him or make Seven and Tuvok look more seriously injured.

Keep in mind the "result" we saw of Tuvoks exposure to the warhead were weeks after it happen. Also notice, he has visable scars on his face from where he was hit by shrapnel. From those clues, you'd have to assume he was far more than just blinded when the event happened.

Much of what we saw were only key events that happened on certain days within the entire "year" of hell.

^^Yeah that's one thing I didn't like about YOH, it was over too quick! It's too bad they weren't allowed to have the storyline run longer, there were so many things that could've been covered. They could've even tantalized us even more by having Janeway and Torres killed as it happened in Before and After then have Chakotay captured with him now desperately trying to make those temporal calculations to spare their lives. Of course, we would've known it was a big reset but the show could've explored the Voyager without Janeway.

I guess part of my disappointment is that from Before and After we were led to believe that the Krenim would be a major foe that would appear in several episodes but after YOH they disappeared.

I hear what you're saying but the problem I have with that concept is, Voyager was kinda hit or miss. I fear if they had spread the story out they might have messed some of it up or drawn it out too long.

While I love Voy., it was too me one of those "becareful what you wish for" type of deals. Even though you wanted better, you might get a crappy version of it instead.
