I downloaded the remastered version of this episode for my XBOX sometime back. We watched it last night and I am still curious as to this Romulan/Earth conflict that Spock talks about.
I had assumed that the events in the Cage/Menagerie, when Pike and his crew arrived at talos-4, happened something like 15 years before the current day time of Kirk and company. Or something like that...
Anyway, when Pike and crew go down to the planet and meet with the 'survivor's, one of the crewmen of the Enterprise tells survivors that the time barrier has been broken. I assume he meant warp speed? I've always assumed thats what he meant. So I came away with the impression that warp speed had only been in use just prior to the events on The Cage/Menagerie.
Yet, if that is true, how were Romulans/Earth fighting a war if it happened before Warp speed came around? And that doesn't even take into account Captain Archer and his ship's ability to travel at Warp Speeds before the Romulan war....
What is going on??? Or is this one of those 'whoops' events.
