Maybe Pike asked for those props before they became SF standard?Ok so about the props.. Given the time period, isn't this too early for the TOS combo phasers? Shouldn't they be the guns that you actually had to turn the barrel to change power levels? It doesn't really bother me, but if we're being technical... Of course, if we're really being technical, they'd all be wearing ill-fitting mock turtlenecks.
SNW truly respects TOS continuity!

- Start date
The TMP phaser was still in the Enterprise-C inventory 71 years after the movie was set!
We don't just use one kind of gun these days. We never have in fact. We use a whole bunch of them, new and old.
I've been pretty easy on SNW's cosmetic changes, and I still believe they can all be written off as a refit. But after this week's episode, without spoiling too much, I think we might have more to worry about than starship tech cosmetic differences in regards to TOS continuity (mainly the entire biology of a certain alien species, which contradicts even the Kelvin movies)...
Damn them to hell, then!
The Gorn lose their tails and are full bipeds with much slower metabolisms by adulthood. There. Solved.
I mean, a Jem'Hadar child is literally a human baby with a ridge on its forehead. By adolescence it's a scaly, grey hunter that looks like his big brothers right down to the hair.
Nah.
Really? What did we know about the Gorn from other shows that is contradicted or not additive?
We know that they're heard of as early as ENT Season 4 and the Orions enjoy an alcoholic beverage that comes from the Gorn Hegemony. Then there was TOS. Now this. That's about it other than the Mirror Universe Gorn from the 22nd century and the Kelvin Timeline Gorn babies that get referenced in one scene of one movie.
Well, if we assume adult males can't...do what one of the young individuals did in that episode to their enemies, it still works fine. Babies of said race only got a passing mention in the Kelvin movies, and - if you play or watch a playthrough of the game that's referencing - they did bite...and the parent they came from may have been impregnated in a similar fashion...
Yes, we’re all aware of your penchant to think you’re better than everyone else. You don’t need to constantly beat us over the head with your opinion of yourself.
you do realize that even though a revolver pistol pre-dates the automatic pistol, there are still cases of revolvers being used by some, long after others started using the other? and that it isn't a continuity violation, it's just how the world works?Ok so about the props..
