[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"Klingon first contact happening prior to 2218"</blockquote> Technically, not a problem, but they should have been a little more creative ("We need some aliens." "How about Klingons?" "Yeah, okay."), and they shouldn't have contradicted something that, while not being strictly canon, was pretty much universally accepted. <blockquote>"Klingon forehead appearance being bumpy"</blockquote> TNG already established that Klingons were originally bumpy. DS9 established that the smoothness was even more of an obscure period in time than we thought. Basically, if the Klingons were [i]not[/i] bumpy, there would have been a problem. <blockquote>"Enterprise design being 'too advanced' for the 22nd Century"</blockquote> True. Sets and props might need to look more advanced so it doesn't seem silly, but there was no reason for the exterior of the ship to look like it did. <blockquote>"Starfleet being in existence in prior to 2161"</blockquote> John Adams, who was president of the United States of America, was born in 1767. But John Adams, who was president of the United States of America, existed as early as 1735. How can that be? Oh, wait... They're two different people. <blockquote>"A primitive prototype transporter system in operation prior to 2209."</blockquote> I wish they hadn't put transporters in. We all know they're going to end up using them as a crutch because they couldn't be bothered to do things differently than before. But, technically, it's not a contradiction. <blockquote>"A Vulcan serving as an observer on a Starfleet vessel prior to Spock"</blockquote> This one simply makes no sense at all. When was there [i]ever[/i] a mention of Vulcan observers on Earth ship, or lack thereof? I'm willing to say there wasn't. <blockquote>"The Suliban and Phlox being prominent alien cultures that were never seen/mentioned in TOS, TNG, DS9, or Voyager"</blockquote> Well, they've done it before. It may suck, but it isn't w/o precedence. <blockquote>"A matter/antimatter reaction assembly being employed for warp drive"</blockquote> Nothing even remotely wrong w/ that. <blockquote>"One console on the bridge for flight control instead of a helm and navigation stations"</blockquote> Strictly speaking, they shouldn't have done this. It doesn't make sense. Why would it be one job, then get split into two, then go back to one? But, alas, there isn't anything canonically wrong w/ it. <blockquote>"The use of the familiar Trek hull font on the Enterprise"</blockquote> *shrug* Haven't they been using the same font since TMP all the say through TNG, DS9, and VOY? Apparently, hull fonts don't change very often... <blockquote>"The existence of another ship named Enterprise prior to the NCC-1701 that is not the Fandom Declaration-class starliner"</blockquote> Well, the navies of the United States and the British Empire have already contradicted that pretty well. <blockquote>"The use of the registry NX-01 and that's not being used by the Dauntless"</blockquote> Well, "NX-01" is a silly registry for a Federation starship, anyway. But, on an Earth Starfleet ship, they can do whatever they want. I wish they hadn't stolen the "NX" scheme, but oh well. <blockquote>"Berman and Braga, the Evil Grim Reapers of Continuity, are in charge of the series"</blockquote> Can't argue there. [/QB][/QUOTE]
