SNW truly respects TOS continuity!

I think they'll totally bone.

Or not.

I'm not on here to poo poo this show as I've seen a few episodes and found it very much superior to Discovery which I was not a fan of but how is SNW respecting TOS continuity?
I mean the Enterprise must have had a hell of a downgrade for the Kirk era and even before with Jeffery Hunter's Pike in The Cage!!! Plus since how does Christine Chapel, a minor character in the first season of TOS with only three shows to her name, be on the Enterprise with Uhura when neither of them were part of the crew at the time of Kirk's taking command before WNMHGB? Dr.M'Benga too was a minor character and more Brooklyn Black than African Black? Plus the Gorn were a totally unknown race at the time of Arena and if Spock knew of them why did he keep it from his Captain and where was the records of previous Gorn attacks upon Federation ships and worlds? Also the colony of Cestus III was unknowingly planted within the limits of Gorn space and it was that they feared an attack upon their territory which made them destroy Cestus III!
George Samuel Kirk on the Enterprise as a crewmember, since when? And if so why didn't Spock or Kirk himself mention it in Operation:Annihilate? :shrug:
Now this cannot be the TOS universe no matter what the producers say!!!

Because she isn't currently a Starfleet officer, but a civilian. No doubt she left, received her commission, and returned. Uhura is a cadet. Which means she will receive a posting prior to the Enterprise.

Are they? Dialog is not conclusive on this matter.
Also the colony of Cestus III was unknowingly planted within the limits of Gorn space and it was that they feared an attack upon their territory which made them destroy Cestus III!
That whole territory was largely unknown, according to Spock, which means that the extent of Gorn territory would not be known in that region.
George Samuel Kirk on the Enterprise as a crewmember, since when? And if so why didn't Spock or Kirk himself mention it in Operation:Annihilate? :shrug:
Why would he? "Hey, this is a tragic event. As you know George and I served together with Captain Pike." That's a terrible way to write dialog.
 
The Gorn were known of at least in passing in 2154 and before the Federation even existed. Official face-to-face contact between a Starfleet officer and a Gorn didn't happen until TOS.
 
Yes but I'm talking about the Gorns that attacked Cestus III in the TOS reality and not the alternate variety as heard of and almost seen in SNW! :techman:

Why doesn't Pike look like Jeff Hunter? Why doesn't Spock look like Leonard Nimoy? Plus the other two or three characters we've met before resemble their counterparts? :whistle:
