USS Defiant

So, let's get to the Memory Alpha summary.

While aboard the Starfleet ship USS Defiant, Captain Kirk disappears.

God.

When the dead ship gets pulled into inner space, the Enterprise is quickly...

Right.

So then she came up with the idea of the interdimensional rift.

And several changes were made from their early draft to the final draft, including the USS Defiant was originally called the USS Scimitar.

The Tholian Loskeen was originally named Lucene.

And he's going to explain why he's doing what he's doing.

So apparently the Tholians have a ship from a parallel future and we get a screenshot of a TOS looking NCC-1764, the USS Defiant.

It's got to be full of cool shit.

T'Pol hits the doubt button and Forrest is unconvinced, but you know, course is set in, so tough.

No, no.

In the Star Trek Enterprise episode, In the Mere Darkly Part 2, that's when the Mere Universe Captain Archer is on the USS Defiant.

And that's the ship, the Defiant's the ship that was lost to the Tholians in the original series episode, The Tholian Web Incident.

When it disappears in the Tholian web, it gets sent over to the Mirror Universe, and that's when Archer finds it.

I, even I, the daft Joe over here, understood what they were trying to say.

There will be two Defiants, you know? Yeah.

And then the twist is actually no, there won't be two Defiants.

[laughs] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

There will only be one, and we have to make a choice.

We got a trip to the Mirror Universe.

We got more chat of the Starship Defiant.

We got the Klingon language, but coming out of the face of, I don't know, like the bottom half of an octopus, something like that.

It just didn't...

Starship down.

A def- a damaged Defiant must play a dangerous game of cat and mouse with two Jem'Hadar ships inside a gas giant.

The Federation Starship Defiant carries the senior staff of Deep Space Nine...

Again, bad move.

Why is everybody, why is everybody-

[laughs]

The negotiations are interrupted when a pair of Jem'Hadar ships fire on the Korima ship.

The Jem'Hadar chase the ship into the atmosphere of the gas giant, and the Defiant takes off in pursuit.
