[QUOTE="Bumbles, post: 4827986, member: 83457"] While this part is true, there's a little thing called the [URL="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Eugenics_Wars"]Eugenics Wars[/URL] that was said to have occurred in the mid-90s. This was referenced in the original series episode Space Seed which had some of the survivors in cryo-sleep. And while Zefram Cochrane appeared in the original series episode Metamorphosis he would have been only in his 30s during the events of First Contact. Which makes his appearance in that movie...questionable in terms of the actor chosen. And whether or not the WW3 referenced in the movie will remain plausible...well, that's still up in the air. The whole Warp Drive thing? Now that could go on for a while, or be invalidated next week. Who knows? A better example of the problem might be some other work though, like 2001, 1984, or even those Disney cartoons involving the future. I don't think Pan-Am is going to be back. Not that that makes the story necessarily any less valid, but it can create a sense of dissonance. [/QUOTE]
