The slice should not be reminiscent, but there is a controversial line of dialogue in Nicolas Meyer's movie in 1991 It is sometimes mentioned in the franchise's norpos. While investigating a crime, Spack (Leonard Nimoy) notes that "one of my ancestor claims that if you eliminate the impossible, whatever -no matter how incredible -it must be the truth." The quote, as many know, is traditionally attributed to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, and the use of Spack has left some fever to be tantalized after the thought of a literary crossover. Does Spack say he is associated with Sherlock Holmes? Is Sherlock Holmes a real person in the Star Trek Universe?

As previously explained /filmHowever, that may not be true. At Star Trek: The Next Generation, Sherlock Holmes is constantly talking about a fictional construct, and the Enterprise-D crew regularly activates Holmes' mysteries at Holodek. Indeed, the Holographic Performance of Holmes, Professor Moriarti (Daniel Davis), is becoming a self -conscious villain of the "next generation", and has a lot of dialogue dedicated to the fact that he was previously invented, created by the deceased English writer. So, no, Spack did not mean that it was associated with Sherlock Holmes, no matter how entertaining the notion of what it could be.

However, Trekis further theorized that Spack referred to Arthur Conan Doyle himself as an ancestor. After all, Spack is semi-human, and it is imaginable that his human mother, Amanda Grayson, comes from Doyle's grandchildren (Doyle did not have his grandchildren). It is unlikely, but it is possible that one of today's offspring of Doyle can become a great-grandmother for Spack's mother. However, this was only the theory of fans.

That is, until the latest episode of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds", in which Spack (Ethan Peck) said, as a day, that Arthur Conan Doyle was his ancestor.

The latest episode of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds", " Titled "Hour for Space Adventure", Includes Laan (Christina Chong) Testing a brand new technology called Holodek. The Holodeks was seen on Star Trek before, but it would not have become usual on the Arsevils to the days of the "next generation" (that is, to remind readers, to set a century after "weird new worlds"). Laan dresses like Emilia Moon, her favorite literary detective, in order to solve the holographic mystery of murder extrapolated by Emilia's novels. Spack is also present, although it remains in uniform, only present to assess the possibilities of Holodek.

Because Emilia Moon's program takes place, both Laan and Spack are amazed at how much an animal is. The building has a smell. They can collect items that feel realistic in their hands. Laan mentions that he has been committed to playing like Emilia Moon. Spack, playingly responds: "As my ancestor, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, would write:" The game is far away. "

And it's there. What began as a tantalizing line for throwing at Star Trek VI is now manifested as the Canon "Star Trek". Spack is really originating from Doyle.

It is worth pausing that Nicolas Meyer, who co-wrote the "Star Trek VI", is one of Sherlock Holmes' biggest fans in the world. He adapted to the 1976 "Seven Percent's Seven Percent" and belongs to Baker Street Disguard, Literary Society Sherlock Holmes. When he wrote the Spack line about what Holmes was related, he actually meant Holmes. That wink admitted that many In interviews. Meyer didn't care much about Trek's continuity, and he just loved the idea that Spack and Holmes were the same blood line.

"The next generation" destroyed it all by portraying the characters read by Doyle's novels, so the producers of "strange new worlds" confirmed the secondary theory of Spack as a reward for comfort: Spack is a distant relative of Arthur Conan Doyle. Maybe someone wonders If the controllers of Doyle's property Feel any pressure to name our daughters Amanda Grayson.
