mmm... the only thing I recall from Escape is that it said both ships disintegrated? Anything further is just idle speculation unless you can give something concrete from the movie which actually goes beyond that in which case I'll stand corrected.

Even in Beneath Brent says they were following Taylor's last known trajectory and speculated they'd travelled hundreds of years into future. Which again doesn't make much sense in terms of a "rescue" mission - a) they knew they'd probably land up hundreds of years in future. b) if they were aware Taylor's ship had disintegrated, they went to rescue them by doing exactly the same thing and also being disintegrated. 😂

"Idle speculation", well, speculation is never "idle", it means that you use your brain. LOL.

Sorry, but BENEATH and ESCAPE are 100% canon, unlike the 1974's TV series (which is a different continuity). So we must take in account the fact that they "retconned" some concepts. Nothing too dramatical, buddy.

Brent's speculation in the aftermath has NOTHING to do with the original rescue mission. He was just guessing on what had TRULY happened.

Taylor's ship disappeared, so the rescue mission followed its trajectory.
The guys in ESCAPE were just talking with approximative terms, being not too detailed. They talked about "DISINTEGRATION" only after Brent had been launched many months before. At the time Brent was launched, they had sensed that there was a warp out there and they were in for an exploration. So the "Disintegration" concept was a kind of official cover-up, or just one of the many theories floating among them.

Well, have you read my work? Do you like it?

First of all I'm a bit surprised by your reaction to my use of "idle speculation". Seems like you took that as some kind of slur but that wasn't the intention - it's just a fairly common phrase for speculation where you're going pretty far out on a limb.

e.g. in your first reply you said that the mentioned "disintegration" proved there was "some new kind of space-time warp out there. That's why they launched Brent's ship as rescue in the very first place."

Which I thought was interesting, that maybe I'd missed something there, and that the rescue mission did have some sensible basis.

However in your post above you're saying that "the "Disintegration" concept was a kind of official cover-up". Which is it? Because if Taylor's ship didn't disintegrate, we can only assume that it disappeared off at near the speed of light, as expected per Taylor's comments, and into the future as expected. There would be no plausible reason for a rescue mission...

I don't know what you meant by sorry they're 100% canon comment. Never claimed otherwise. All the films are canon, even if they don't link up due to the contradictory historys given. But that's where the fun of speculating alternative timelines comes from in the first place.
