Don't act like 'continuity' was some arcane aspect somehow impossible in 1966 - the point is, Star Trek has never let continuity get in the way of a story...EVER...be it 1966, 1973, 1987, 1993, 1995, 2001, or 2017.Except we now live in an era of binge watching and rewatching. Continuity should mean more than ever, yet the writers act like it's still 1966 and we'll never notice.
