[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [qb]I just happened to see the beginning of TNG: "The Masterpiece Society". The genome colony on Moab IV was established "200 years ago", which would be around 2168, and was obviously isolated since. The people there (albeit otherwise technologically advanced - they know what a tractor beam is!) have never heard of the transporter, and they are even more astonished when the Enterprise away team appears out of thin air.[/qb][/QUOTE] Finally, for the first time, an [i]Enterprise[/i] continuity issue that is actually an issue! :p Luckily, it's not insurmountable. The time span is well into that nebulous zone where inaccuracies of even thirty years wouldn't be all that big of a deal... to borrow a frequent example, I could say that the United States was founded 200 years ago without any historians complaining, when it's actually 225. The policy of assuming all year references are exact is nothing more than a timelining convention because, if we don't do it, we have nothing to work with! Brace yourselves: [i]Enterprise[/i] did indeed break continuity by a few decades. Never thought you'd hear it, did you? :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
