i'd always done so that it was in vogue stylization. different periods had different popular styles etc.
Yeah, I loved how DS9 seemed to imply that in Trials and Tribbleations when Dax went on about the classic 23rd century tricorder design with chrome highlights and all. I can just see Sulu pushing his coloured buttons thinking "touchscreens... they're so 2350s..."
Like I said, it's easy enough to explain away stuff like the design of the bridge.
Is it a reboot, Graham? I haven't heard anything to suggest that, thought admittedly I've only been reading the odd bit about the movie. If it's a reboot then I'll probably be a lot more forgiving of any continuity errors.

From what I understand, there's a time travel element involved causing some sort of divergent timeline where the movie and subsequent sequels will take place. Literally a "New" Trek. New, but with the spirit of the old it seems. This doesn't make established Trek canon any less valid, it just neatly sidesteps whatever issues they would normally have w/ a prequel.

I don't think I've seen anything officially saying "reboot", but with them all together at that point in time I can't see that they mean it to be part of the established continuity.

Need a cough drop there Mikey? You seem to have something caught in your throat.

Well, even if it isn't a reboot, the time-travel angle allows us to explain away most inconsistancies due to the "alternate universe" theory of time-travel.

Thats what I've been saying (or trying 2 say) all along.

Even if this starts a new time line due to the timeline being messed up it would still have to follow ENT canon...
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
