General Trek Questions and Observations

I had a thought, regarding the early years Federation Presidency. That its early history is very similar to the early years of America after the American Revolution.

How likely is it that, in the first couple of decades of the Federation, there was an Interstellar Congress., much like the early years of American had a Continental Congress and a Congress of the Confederation? And then Archer became the first Federation President, much like how Washington became the first American President?

The Interstellar Congress would still have their own Presidents (ex. Thomas Vanderbilt), much like there were Presidents of the Continental Congress and the Congress of the Confederation (ex. John Hancock). But Archer would be considered the first true President of the Federation, and established the norms of the Federation. Much like how Washington is considered the first true President of the United States and established norms for America.

It seems very plausible to me.

 

In the sense, we know they did, because there was a Coalition of Planets for a few years before the UFP which had some of the members (the early UFP had all the CoP members, plus extras), but more than that is unlikely IMO.

 

Ty for the "likes".

 

Star Trek (2009) came out 15 years ago today. That's too weird.

 

I don't know how to feel about this.

I will always associate that film with becoming a father and I think the themes resonated with me stronger because of it.

 

Spock?! I saw a crazy version of this image with someone who didn't look like him. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbi...m.2772962726214767&idorvanity=883854765125582

 

And one of the cast is already gone

 

Two, if Nimoy counts.

 

Yup. I guess that's right too
