State University, Raleigh Lines: 12 <> Well if we are going to get picky what about that episode where Kirk drank the local water and was speeded up (thus meeting the people who were taking over his ship). When Kirk fired his Phaser at the woman it traveled no where near the speed of light. And about the photons, if they traveled at the speed of light most of the other ships would be able to avoid them since these ships travel faster than light. Mike Davis
