I think you and I are in agreement as to our opinions when it happens, but where you say they 'cannot do a thing' , all I am saying is that they do the thing and will happily continue to do it regardless of if it is right or wrong. At the end of the day, Trek is whatever Paramount and CBS...
Except that people do it anyway all the time. You will find people on this page that are convinced that Star Trek of any medium is only Star Trek if approved by the late Gene Roddenberry. That is their canon. So season 5 of TNG is questionable at best given Gene's health at the time and anything...
Re-read my fucking post. I never said it had anything to do with evolution. I made the implication that since athletes are drastically more athletic now than they were 200 and even 50 years ago, they'd likely be even more athletic and then I used the example of the four-minute mile. That was it...
You can think I was implying whatever you like.
As I wrote, I was mentally comparing athletes of the past century and how it was kind of a big deal when Bannister broke the four-minute mile in 1954. and now its a standard.
A guy on my school track team ran under a four-minute mile...
^Of course it's not evolution, 200 years is far too short of a time for those sort of changes to come about naturally.
Captain Kirk is still not a modern day homo sapien. And therefore has no more place in the conversation than Superman.
A is for Adelphous IV.
B is for Benecia.
C is for Cestus III.
D is for Denobula.
E is for Earth.
F is for Ferenginar.
G is for Gamma Hydra IV. Or was it II? I forget. Must be getting senile.
H is for Haakonia Prime.
I is for Iconia.
J is for Jouret IV.
K is for Kling.
L is for Laurentia Prime...
Of course, Kirk is not a modern day homo sapien.
I would expect humans of the 23rd century to be a smidge smarter, faster, and stronger than their modern day counterparts.
Case in point, how many people had broken the 4 minute mile 200 years ago?
