But that was not the intent of the writers or producers.
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 2x03 - "Assimilation"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Actually if Elnor was not raised by warrior nun truthsayers, where he trained to do super alien kung Fu for 9 hours a day for his entire pubesence, then the first time Federation Elnor tried to do a flipping spinning jump kick in confederate Elnors less chiseled body, it's almost a certainty that he'd get terminal groin strain, cup his balls, and lay there crying for a week.

TWOK can exist without using the dates established in Space Seed. Nothing in that plot requires Khan to be from the 1990s. That date can be ignored or changed to 2090s for example. It does require he be from several years in Kirk's past.
And that changes basic Vulcanoid physiology how?
He seemed to be doing fine in physical feat department up to the point he was shot.
Considering he still had his Qowat Milat pendant in his pocket, one would think he was still raised by them in this timeline as well. Not to mention that whole "active participant in an ongoing armed insurgency against the Confederation" bit presupposing some combat knowledge.
So he wasn't just sitting around eating plomeek chips, drinking ale and playing hologames?
Same dude.
Different life.
Remember in Butterfly effect when Ashton Kutcher messed with the past so expertly, that when he got back to the future, he didn't have arms?
Why do you keep asking about his biology?
Physiology. Basic Vulcanoid physiology.
That would put Khan into conflict with the Vulcans.
Irony?
The Botany Bay was launched in 1996. TOS said it. TWOK said it. ENT reinforced that the Eugenics Wars were in the late 20th century. Even STID calls Khan a "300-year-old frozen man" or words to that effect, dating him back to the 20th century. It's just how Trek history unfolds in that universe.
But it didn't have too. And that's my point. Fans are too wedded to these dates.
The novels had it more of a cold war and shadow governments.
There's no indication of that. Rain Robinson had a model of the DY-100 Botany Bay type ship in her Griffith office.
And the USA wasn't involved in the Eugenics Wars anyway, so it's no surprise that the VOY crew didn't see any evidence of them.
Ye, pretty sure the words "Eugenics Wars" are never uttered. The art department in Berman Trek were staffed by a lot of fans turned pros who loved of to toss easter eggs into graphics and background props.
I like that Trek takes place in a parallel world but not entirely the same as ours.
If people are going to continue to watch it into the succeeding decades it has to get reboot or understood. Otherwise the writers will constantly have to reboot the entire franchise and cede ground so to speak every few years or else put all the events of Star Trek a century or more into the future.
I'm fine with that. Just keep pushing it forward.
