      I agree this episode doesn’t deserve its crap, but generally, it’s always bugged me just a bit in any Star Trek how little they know about stuff from the 21st century and before. I think during this scene, they whipped out their phasers when the truck started. I don’t remember exactly but I know they jumped like cats. You’d think they’d at least know what a gun or even Morse Code was, let alone an SOS, at least by a little bit, enough that, if they were gonna look it up in the database, it would just be to double check more or less of the time. I was kinda glad Paris knew his stuff but it wasn’t as refreshing as I thought it would be.

      I loved the episode. The writers didn't even try to ground any of it even in the pseudoscience and technobabble that makes Star Trek work, and several things in the episode were seriously stupid ideas - but it was still a nice, enjoyable - and in a series where a ship that size apparently held a fleet of shuttlecraft and virtually infinite torpedo supply - even though every couple episodes they were down to their last one - it was even believable.

      @@teleportedbreadfor3days I am sure there is a butt load of people in the star trek universe who are all about (what would be from their perspective) ancient technology, going as far to watch "classic" films and such. But for the vast majority of people in the federation, no one would have any idea of technology that old. Just like these days teens and adults who have attended higher education or hold down high paying jobs have no idea what a compact cassette, VHS tape, or a rotary phone is. It seems pretty plausible to me.

      @@zethcader6478 I don’t think it’s implausible, but there’s a point where the ancient tech almost makes *them* look ‘primitive’, ironically, or maybe ignorant is more appropriate. They actually pulled their phasers on the truck’s exhaust blowing, I remember now, which is much more understandable, but shouldn’t a line be drawn somewhere when it comes to how little they should know of old Earth tech? Humans, especially. It’s more understandable imo if a certain number of them lack the knowledge in question. Maybe it’s just me

    Technically, any air/moisture in the truck would have been frozen as soon as it was jettisoned in not space. The rest of the vehicle probably would of been fairly preserved for the same reason. No oxygen means no rusting.
    The batteries in those old trunks weren’t designed like they are today. They were much more suited for long use (something battery makers today have removed because batteries that die faster mean they have to be replaced more often)
    And again, in the cold vacuum of space, there isn’t anything to discharge them.

      i mean the battery would still be shot, space radiation does that to a lot of things. that AM radio would not work anymore based on the same thing. the only way those 2 things would still work is if they were modified by the aliens that brought the 37s to that rogue planet.
      the same said for the starter in the gas powered engine and the fuel/fuel tank and tires.
      which i think thats what the writers were going for.

After the civil war he became an author and speaker, as well as able to build a house in Washington DC. I understand the story seems far fetched but not impossible. Even though highly improbable, if he owned land before the depression there is a possibility that he could have bought the truck. Something else about the Great Depression, the worst year was 1929, also FDR was elected president in 1932, and before the end of 1933, he started his fireside chats over the radio, pushed forward for changes in the banking industry, and started the CCC. The Ccc not only put thousands of people to work on numerous public works projects, but also put money in the hands of young men, to give to their family’s, but also gave them a job. Nothing’s impossible just highly improbable.

But nothing from between the 20th and 24th century because that would require effort and continuity to maintain, so instead they dig into the past of anything pre 20th century so we can relate to what's going on, even if it takes place 70.000 light years from our planet.
