Their relationship cools in SNW season 2 with Chapel being very distant on purpose. We'll soon see if the cliffhanger changes that.

TMP completely redid it.
At least 9 years had passed and they explained the refit to the enterprise. So we all know why things looked different.

Seems like it heated up at the end again.
Being threatened by a lizard in a spacesuit can do that.
Yeah thats another thing. The gorn that spock fought was much larger and way faster and dagerous than the slow poke Gorn Kirk fought. Hard to believe they were even from the sane species.
Im sure on paper the Gorn in TOS was faster and more dangerous than what we got on screen. Based on we saw he shouldn’t have been a challenge for Kirk. The folks in charge back then would have loved a more flexible costume.
Chihuahuas and Great Danes are the same species. Also, losing his tail would really put a crimp in that Gorn Captain's balance, and thus speed.
9 years? And where was that stated? How do we know? There is zero evidence of this beyond fan assumption.
Have you met humans? Or are we all Lebron James?
And ruling them all, the GEICO Gecko.
Maybe.
9 actual years passed and everyone looks about a decade older.
The only data about the passage of time is Kirk saying it's been two and a half years since he was a captain.
I just prefer to go with the actual time that had psssed since the series. People usually dont look thst much older after two and a half years. Kirk w as a young captain in tos. Hes clearly middle aged in tmp. Mccoy and Scotty both definitely look much older.
Not allowed. If the Movie says “two and a half years” then it’s two and a half years! Anything else is madness!
Which tells us...nothing.
Assumption is fine but it is not in the text of the film. People can age for many different reasons too. Living in the desert, being president of the United States, and being in space all impact aging.
Link on studies here and here for space travel specifically.
Indeed. No thinking is allowed and everything must be taken as literally spoken.Not allowed. If the Movie says “two and a half years” then it’s two and a half years! Anything else is madness!
It doesn't really matter how long the gap between TOS and TMP is. The Enterprise could've returned home after their five year mission on the fringes of Federation space to find that people on Earth had been wearing TMP uniforms for years. It needs to be at least couple of years later to fit Kirk's dialogue and give them time to refit the ship, but it could've been longer.
Also the ship being different is an important part of the plot. McCoy even complains that sick bay is like a computer center now, implying that it didn't have so many blinky lights before. There's nothing about TMP that tries to reshape TOS, you can even see the old version of the ship on the wall.

The ship is wrong and doesn't fit.
Kirk is wrong and doesn't fit.
It takes the familiar and makes it terrifying. It reshapes TOS by reshaping the characters. It's not a good fit.
