V'Ger - Where had it been?

[JamesM]

... And where did it go?







Any thoughts?

[Qasim]

Didnt they say it had been everywhere between the planet it crashed on and Earth

It ascended

[Morbo]

i think the better question is

where DIDN'T it go

[Missster.Freeman]

Good answer Qasim. That's basically what happens after after Decker merged with V'ger. It became a new non-corporeal lifeform.

Where it had been? Going by the film, V'ger or Voyager 6 fell into a black hole and emerged from the other side. I'm speculating that it appeared in another galaxy, crashing on the planet with living machines.

edit:

i think the better question is
where DIDN'T it go

True, V'ger probably scoured all the galaxy(s) and star systems as it was looking for answers to why it was created, and the creator.

[Wolf Eire]

I read once a theory that it had been to the Borg homeworld. Think of that what you will.

[JamesM]

Gene Roddenberry himself stated that V'Ger was connected to the Borg, but most ST fans refuse to accept this as it doesn't fit with the timeline set after Gene's death.

I'm pretty sure that the fat captain also explained V'Ger in detail, in one of his books, but Shatners work doesn't really float my boat, so I've never read it.

but Shatners work doesn't really float my boat

Nor is it cannon anyway.

[JamesM]

Very true mate, very true.

[Wolf Eire]

Very true mate, very true.

I bet he'd like to think so though.

[JamesM]

Yup, I bet theres many things he likes to think were true... like having real hair, being thin, and not to mention, being able to act lol

[Wolf Eire]

Hey, he can act, he just has his unique style. I think he loves to write about his Emperor counterpart in the Mirror universe.

[JamesM]

Please, stop! I'll have pictures of him sitting upon his throne in my head all night


He sure does love himself, doesn't he?

[Wolf Eire]

Yes, think of the old Emperor Tiberius with his gut hanging over the throne. He was supposed to appear in Ent in this role but somehow it fell through.

[JamesM]

Well, personally, I hated the whole Enterprise thing (apart from T'Pol maybe). I'm so glad that show was cancelled.

First off, leave Shatner alone. The guy truly loves Treka nd his character,and has given us 8 wonderful books (9th coming soon) which ties in to the current ST cannon... though it's not official (which is a shame i think)

But, on subject, ever sice i first saw the Borg, and remebering V'Ger and where it'd been (a world full of living machines), i even had the theory that it had been with the Borg. And Shatner linking them in the 'Return' book must have been a bit of a nod to Roddenberry, so i was made up to read that book, as it linked them nicely (though i know, it's not cannon)
