I think there was an episode in STTNG where they went beyond warp 10. The visitor showed Wesley how to do it. Maybe Jason is just merging the two in his twisted little mind…

It could also involve the fact that the “warp 10 is the maximum possible speed” rule wasn’t in place until TNG – and even there it was ignored in the future parts of the series finale.
I did better as a young child creating superlight velocity scales for my own fiction than STAR TREK has ever done. But then, I knew how to use actual star charts and to calculate interstellar distances and travel times, something that most STAR TREK writers never bothered to do. (I still do this, using a log ten scale of superlight velocities and the best star data I can get.)
It cracks me up to see the STAR TREK writers and fans try to back-pedal and justify a completely arbitrary, inconsistent and ad hoc system of measurement. And I find it hard to imagine that Jason wouldn’t complain about it, or not fall prey to it. Hey, Mr. Amend, how about a Sunday strip where Jason does just that: complain about STAR TREK’s sliding velocity scales and technobabble?
(Sorry, my Jungian Extraverted Thinking is screaming here like the frustrated Inner Child that it is. ;) )
Uclick/gocomics didn’t post this week’s (6-7) strip for some reason. Until they do, here’s a black and white version (I don’t have a color one handy)… http://bit.ly/YBswk
billamend; thank you so very much. Very nice to see the latest strip.
I have been getting such a kick of Jason’s antics of late, that I am going to have to go to the local book store. Why? I want to start a buying some of the Foxtrot collection books. I have them for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, Far Side and Dilbert. I need some fresh laughs that I can quickly share with others.
Thanks again.
FoxTrot is a comic strip with attitude, wit and a big dose of reality. Bill Amend’s brilliant understanding of sibling rivalry and generational struggles comes to life in a refreshing blend of humor and truth.
Readers of all ages will love this glimpse into family life with the FoxTrot gang. Come and laugh with Roger and Andy, and their kids Peter, Paige and Jason.

Jasons’ mind runs constantly at warp factor 11.

Didn’t the movie already have a kid Kirk? And BTW, for prequels they probably couldn’t go beyond Warp 2 1/2…

On Voyager there was an episode where Tom And B’lana went to warp factor 11.

I think Rayannina is right. Adams was making a Spinal Tap joke when Jason said ‘Warp Factor 11”. These go to 11, indeed.

As with everything else even remotely appealing to nerds, there is a wiki that explains it: http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Warp_factor

Knowing Jason, he’s probably talking in binary, as in:
There are 11 kinds of people: those who know binary and those who don’t.
SaintRCat said, 5 months ago
@morton115
I’m afraid you can count yourself among those that don’t. 11 is 3 in binary, whereas 10 is 2. Or perhaps that’s the joke.
jumperjeff said, 5 months ago
Thanks SaintRCat. I was about to say the same thing.
morton115 said, 5 months ago
Senior moment. I don’t post very often. Thanks for correcting what I should have caught!

So, there are 11 kinds of people: those who know binary, those who don’t and those who used to but are out of practice. :-)

Agreed, 3hourtour, what has happened to the “At least give us one strip a week if you’re taking away the dallies
”?

Funny how the inky stinky news inky paper can have a new Fox Trot cartoon but all the internet sites are still showing last weeks.
Was Peter driving Bills late submission right past all the electronic sites - failing to stop along the way?
