What about that little nasal numbing issue that T'Pol had in the early portion of the series? Wouldn't that effect T'Mir as well?

im sorry.......i seem to be missing something here.......was this actually true? or was t'pol just "telling a story". and what was she holding at the end? my guess is a purse signifying that her ancestors really were there in the 50's. comments?

It was the purse that T'Mir had used suggesting that T'Pol's story was true (at least the basic premise). How much in the details she told is still in question because maybe she herself didn't have the whole story or she was drunk and made details up without knowing it or she was humoring Trip and Archer without needing to divulge as much as possible.

Rather than start a new thread, I'll just post this here...
CNN published an interesting article about scientists researching babies and giving them early grasping abilities by having them wear velcro mittens. The specifics aren't important, but the last paragraph was a brief descriptions of the origins of VELCRO.
According to the article, Mr. George de Mestral was from Switzerland and borrowed the idea from burrs that had collected on his clothing during a hike. He patented it in 1955.
So, not only did B&B get the time wrong (two years too early) but they were also on the wrong continent!
Fucking up internal continuity is one thing... but when they start rewriting real history, that's getting ridiculous.

Psst...Star Trek isn't real.
Besides, what is the guy going to tell you, the truth? "You don't look like you're from around here, boy. So where is you from?"

Star Trek isn't real? Geez, now my entire perception of reality has been destroyed...
No shit, Trek isn't real!
However, since this is a TELEVISION SHOW that's written for the enjoyment of humans, it's based on a common frame of reference for everyone to understand. It's futuristic science fiction, not alternate history.
Unless the next episode is going to mention how Isaac Newton was not the guy to develop the theory gravity? Or someone will make a brief reference to Brutus, who was betrayed and murdered by his friend Caesar?
