How did the Vulcans help Earth?

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Then it isn't the same timeline. This doesn't sound like a mistake, but an active change to it by the writers.

For all we know, TOS itself was the result of temporal meddling.

Indeed, it can be argued that in a universe where "temporal war" exists, there is no "original" timeline.

The thing that gets me about "Tomorrow..." is...man, that is one ass-ugly bridge they bombed!

(Obviously there is no real Lake Ontario Bridge anyway; they just had to make up a fake landmark so they could bomb it without causing too much distress to the home viewer.)

Which is fine. I just struggle with the idea of SNW and TOS being in the same timeline. A planned change just proves they are paying lip service to the "Prime" timeline crowd. Those killed of Earth's population would be an entirely different group of people.

I mean, if we go back and move the Civil War up or down the timeline by fifty years, I imagine we come back to a very different world.

I THINK there might have been a reference in "Tomorrow..." about the timeline somehow attempting to repair itself. Meaning, even with all the Romulan meddling, things will eventually get back to how they're supposed to be.

Yet Kirk and Spock are worried in "Tomorrow is Yesterday" about a single individual disrupting their existence.

Of course it is. All of TOS' continuity glitches are the time line being messed with and corrected. Starting with James R. Kirk. The grave site on Delta Vega has "James T. Kirk" on it. A popular destination for all the Kirk-o-philes in the 24th Century and beyond. Holo op!!!

I kinda soured on SNW with the final two episodes of season one. Haven't really had a desire to go back.

I don't know how I went back to strange new worlds after that Fairy Tale story adventure.

I actually enjoyed that one. Xenomorph Gorn, not so much.

Because they are all fairy tales, from TOS onwards

Indeed, yes.

Or that TOS was a dramatic recreation of Kirk's logs, the view I prefer and it is way more fun and keeps TOS self-contained, as it should be.

Do you limit this to TOS or is each series a dramatic re-creation of the CO's logs?

Most series are dramatic recreations to a certain extent. TOS was simply the first series I saw the idea expressed and I liked it so it's usually my go to for inconsistencies.

As for the chances of humanity rebuilding the global civilization after a destructive cataclysm such as the Eugenic Wars, I recommend this video. Alien help may not seem to be needed.
