Was the Titanic Disaster an Inside Job?

[Someone1776]

I thought the "Titanic Disaster" was when my high school girlfriend made me go see that stupid James Cameron movie with her...

It wasn't a bad flick, particularly after the ice berg hit. Good for what it was.

Time again for an oldie but a goodie:

Too bad Titanic derived all it's emotional value from an adulterous relationship.

"The funny thing about conspiracies, Picard, is that when they are real no one knows about them, but when they are suspected they're never real!"

                         -- Alien parasite speaking through its host, some high ranking Starfleet admiral, to Capt. Jean Luc Picard

That's a smart alien parasite. 

Well, no, in the end it turns out to be quite stupid, and Picard and company are able to save the Federation handily.

But you completely missed the meaning of the line, spoken tongue-in-cheek by the parasite, which I am almost certain Gene Roddenberry himself inserted into that episode.  When a conspiracy is real no one knows about it precisely because when conspiracies are suspected they are never real.

The statement is not intended to disregard all suspicion of conspiracy.  It is intended to illustrate a paradox that the act of conspiracy presents.

Actually, you're wrong! That alien faked his death and then traveled back in time to the 20th century where it took over the body of Stuart Baird, director of Star Trek: Nemesis.  The poor crew of the Enterprise never knew what hit them.  There were no survivors from that movie :(

Really?  I haven't seen Nemesis yet.  I just knew it was too easy for Picard that time!

But... why in the heck did they use "bad guy fakes death" when there's millions of the critters crawling around on their homeworld (as the TNG episode implies by the "homing beacon" -- lol --)?

Don't watch Nemesis or Insurrection. They are horrible.  And, the guy didn't actually survived. I was just making a joke about how he took over the director of the last movie so he could kill off the franchise :p

In an odd coincidence, the Titanic disaster may have been foreseen.

The author Morgan Robertson, who may have had a hand in inventing the periscope, wrote a short novel called Futility in 1898. In this novel, a huge British passanger liner, with an insufficient number of lifeboats, sets sail on an April voyage across the North Atlantic Ocean and strikes an iceberg, which causes many to perish.

The name of Robertson's fictional British liner was the Titan.

Fast forward to the year 1935; a tramp steamer is making its way across the North Atlantic in the month of April. A young man on watch recalled that it was midnight when the Titanic hit an iceberg, and that he, himself was born on that day; April 14, 1912. Realizing all this, he sounded the alarm, and the ship halted. Just then, out  of the fog, a huge iceberg could be seen, directly in their path.

The name of that tramp steamer was the Titanian.
