[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] crobato: Oh, and the warp speeds in the current series were religiously adhered-to, too? Y'know, "Deep" Space Nine on the "edge" of an 8000 ly Federation that's less than two weeks from Earth... Starships will always always have plot-device drive. Warp-4 capable ships in 2120 or so are completely reasonable, and not an iota of canon contradicts it. Klingon first contact was hinted at being in the 2220s, IIRC, by "First Contact," but that's merely assuming that hostilities went non-stop from FC to the Organian treaty for 50 years. Wasn't some other date mentioned in "Day of the Dove" anyways? What's next? You'll howl that Star Trek: First Contacet didn't take place in the same year that the TNGTM says warp drive was invented? Or that TPTB didn't reanimate whatshisface whatshisface to play Cochrane? Braga's philosophy has been that one line of dialogue shouldn't stand in the way of a story opportunity. And for the most part I agree with him. Having Earth invaded by the Borg in the 22nd century would make me howl as loudly as you. No Ferengi, no quantum torpedoes, no holodecks, agreed. But allowing mean, nasty, hard-to-relate-to-at-all Klingons appear on the show shouldn't be made impossible by a vague line of dialogue from an episode 10 years ago. Nor should the ship be forced to look like a painting on the wall of the Enterprise Rec Deck. There's usually some "give" in the Trek history anyway and no shortage of previous mistakes. Trekkies have never had a hard timee ameliorating the timeline. [/QB][/QUOTE]
