and klingons. according to Picard first contact with them went so badly it started a war, yet archer runs into them all the time.
Well, it DID seemed there will be war based on Broken Bow ... but, yes, somehow it didn't happened ...
okay fair enough, but the point i was trying to make is that ST11's discontinuities are an entirely seperate league of WTF from the other movies.
My point was that what ST12 did with technology is even worse than what ST11 did with continuity.
(Also, good job with upholding temporal prime directive, Spock.)
... hey, maybe they solve the continuity problem by making another movie in which someone PREVENTS Narada from going back in time, therefore returning the normal continuity!
... alternatively, you can explain ALL discontinuities by the temporal war being in progress, so the continuity keeps changing. Apparently, the scenarists are affected too, but we are outside the effect and therefore can observe it.
(Show me which other show had that good excuse. And that's not even taking Q into account.)
(EDIT: Ok. Doctor Who, I guess.)
