[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] Morrow's line has been ranted about at length over the years. The fact of the matter is that at that point, Star Trek III was released twenty years after Star Trek premiered. So in the real world, the Enterprise was twenty years old. That's the first case I know of where the writer(s) seriously stuffed-up continuity by ignoring the backstory of the Enterprise as established during TOS -- that there was at least ONE captain of the Enterprise prior to Kirk. At the extremes of interpretation, on the one hand we can read canon facts as establishing Pike only for the Enterprise's maiden voyage that led to the First Contact with the Talosians, with Kirk taking over after that for the ship's first five-year mission, and thus giving support to Morrow's line... Or on the other, we can take Spock's line that he served under Pike for eleven years to all be on the Enterprise and Gene's comments in the series bible that the Enterprise was at least twenty years old by the time TOS started, but this blows Morrow's line out of space. One's gotta give. --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
