Stardate 47
The following was submitted to Pomona College Magazine by alumnus John Kyl of Tucson, Ariz. Brannon Braga, producer of "Star Trek: Voyager," explained the story in response to a letter Kyl sent him regarding 47's prevalence.
Mr Kyl:
You heard right. The use of 47 in Star Trek was started by Joe Menosky about five years ago.
He explained 47's magical quality to me at the time
, and I was amazed to see that he was right.
I, too, started to see 47s all over the place. Since then, I put the number into every script I write. I passed on 47's powers to [producer] Ron Moore. He now puts it into all of his scripts. It's even in 'Generations' a couple of times (one for each of us, since Ron and I wrote it together). Even though we are not Pomona graduates like Joe, we have come to appreciate the Pomona tradition. No Star Trek story would be complete without it.
What's amazing to us is that it took almost five years for anyone to notice. You are only the second person to point it out. A woman in northern California who has a special affinity for 47 believes the number is a communication attempt by extraterrestrial life. So, there are people who've never heard of Pomona College that believe in 47. Pretty weird.
More to come!
