Correct.

Palantíri (or singular Palantír) also known as Seeing-stones, theSeven Stones, and the Seven Seeing-stones were spherical stone objects used for the purpose of communication in Middle-earth and beyond.

Not so tenuous, then!

erm... no, it's very tenuous. I cite the glass on a Ouija board as the original mobile phone... actually, i don't, why am i even getting involved in this nonsense!?

I prefer Trek to Star Wars, even though Star Trek depicts essentially a Communist utopia whilst Star Wars is capitalism writ large.

Wasn't it the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, that recorded 'DS9'??

Probably, I really like it anyway.

[QUOTE="captain nemo1701, post: 4457606,

Anyone out there like Forbidden Planet (1956)?. Often regarded by Trek fans as the 'real' genesis of the show that came along 10 years later.[/QUOTE]

I've been an admirer of Forbidden Planet since I was a kid, hiding behind a cushion when the creature appeared.

Star Trek has always been around through my life and got me hooked on sci-fi.
I couldn't pick a favourite series or character, there's been that many.
