It's actually yet another TAS reference:

Presumably this is indeed ShirKahr, Spock's birthplace and childhood hometown.

I think this is the article you want:
http://www.memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/ShiKahr
The one you posted leads no where. Looks pretty similar though.

Oh yeah, and welcome to the SFJ forums, Cpl Kendall. It's been a while since the Strek-V-SWars.Net days. :-)
The other thing of note here as a reference is the fact that the landscapes in general resemble those seen in ST:TMP The Director's Edition, ST3, as well as ST:ENT:

Nice bit of continuity, if you ask me.

Yeah, that's it. Odd, it worked in the preview.Cpl Kendall wrote:I think this is the article you want:

Re: Ring around the city
Even for Vulcans, I can't imagine that being in the desert and experiencing the joy of "urban heat islands" is that great an experience. So it might be some sort of cooling/heating design. Or, the city could be on the verge of a major, pre-planned expansion . . . given the strict design of the place that's possible. Or it could be the planting season. Or those could be the residential districts. There's really no telling. In any case, though, that implies that the mountain is frickin' huge.
I actually like that, 'cause whereas Archer performed okay in the heat and thin air, Kirk lasted all of five minutes. Little wonder, if he was this high on a planet with thin air anyway.

If by "ring", you mean the outermost ring structure, it looks less like a reflector system, and more like an earthen rampart. As for the ring structure being part of a pre-planned expansion, it would have to be a very long term one since we see this very same structure about 3 decades or so prior to "The Amok Time":

I'am not sure that even the Vulcans are that much into long-term planning!

Refreshing, actually. I can't justify anything in Enterprise, since continuity is completely jettisoned, (with regards to TOS) but these shot of Vulcan matching TAS is a huge nod to fans.Mike DiCenso wrote:Oh yeah, and welcome to the SFJ forums, Cpl Kendall.

Apperently the mandate of the folks doing the remastering is to make everything fit within the existing continuity and not add anything to contradict that. So tie in's to TAS=good but don't expect to see an aged Ensign Satio on Tarsus IV (as apperently that's where she died) when they remaster the Kodos episode.

Continuity was not completely jettisoned with regards to TOS, unless you cling to fanon continuity, that is. In fact, thanks largely to ST:ENT's 4th season, we now have the biggest TAS references of any of the series!Cock_Knocker wrote:Refreshing, actually.
