[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [qb]Tom: Don't forget Kirk's oh-so-consistent career record, which even Okuda had to jump through big hoops to explain in the chronology. Spock also had anti-Tuvok syndrome (in that he changed ranks while keeping the same rank insignia).[/qb][/QUOTE] The original series is in the interesting position of being hailed by many people as "what [i]Star Trek[/i] should be" while simultaneously being by far the worst example of good continuity. For instance, we know now, from "Q2" (VGR), that the five-year mission ended in 2270... but in the show itself the era ranged wildly from the 2160s ("Tomorrow Is Yesterday") to the 2700s ("The Squire of Gothos") with most sticking around the 2200 mark... not only did the show contradict itself continually, later [i]Star Trek[/i] didn't even pick one of the contradictory dates when it tied things down! Then you've got the first season begin 15 years before [i]Star Trek II[/i] as well as 20+ years before [i]Star Trek V[/i], two movies set at most a year apart. [i]Star Trek IV[/i] is set in the "late twenty-third century" according to Kirk, while [i]Star Trek II[/i] confirms that it's only been 200 years since the late twentieth century. And of course, the [i]Enterprise[/i] is only twenty years old in [i]Star Trek III[/i], when it is a minimum of 28 years old based on [i]Star Trek II[/i] and "The Menagerie." I'm not saying anything everyone doesn't know already, but we should be careful of revisionism. [i]Star Trek[/i] hasn't always enjoyed the incredible consistency that largely exists under the Berman administration. [i]Enterprise[/i] is the paragon of continuity compared to any [i]Star Trek[/i] produced in the first twenty-five years or so. [/QB][/QUOTE]
