[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4833192, member: 710"] Yes, I agree here. A lot of the continuity problems come from events that were just reported within the show as historical facts, instead of things actually happening, though. The timeline of the 20th to 21st century is pretty ... broken. I suspect the same for the time leading up to TOS. The show Enterprise also introduces continuity issues, both by having an Enterprise before the first one, and by several of the stories told during the show. Of course, the constant time-travelling also makes things very difficult. (Temporal Cold War? Sisko travelling in a 21 century ghetto and becoming a historical figure? Kirk stealing Whales? A time travelling ship crashing on Earth and giving some Hippie the tools to revolutionize Earth computer technology?*) [size=1] I hate this type of storylines, by the way.
