Best part of the movie.

SNW truly respects TOS continuity!
- Thread starter C.E. Evans
- Start date
Be kinda stupid to reject the one thing that has kept the IP alive for over 50+ years.
Through ALL of the iterations.
Though what's the point in doing a reboot if not to break away and be something new? Instead of doing that, they just stayed attached to the previous iterations with the reboot just being used as an excuse for recasting and redesigning.
Obviously, They didn't believe it was a Total Reboot and didn't want the audience to think so either.
Hedging Their Bet, I believe would be the best analogy.
It wasn't until "BEYOND" that They finally felt They could move beyond that thought process.

Except it cost them at least one fan that believes the later and will not watch Trek EVER again unless they restore the primline as he knew it to be. No amount of persuasion will change their mind.
I know, they probably made new fans to replace every one they lost but it's more than that alone - we drifted apart afterwards.
You were more than a little late to that party.
"ENTERPRISE" back almost a decade beforehand, did more to possibly alter the fate of TOS than "ST:2009" would ever do.
The fans who screamed until red in the face about 22nd century Romulans having cloaking technology was the battle of its day. Oh, I was there for those threads.
I always believed that it was the Plasma Weapon that was the new Romulan Tech in "Balance of Terror", not the cloaking device.
Made more sense to me that the Romulans had the cloaking tech during the Earth/Romulan War and that was the main reason nobody ever survived to see what they looked like.
Don't let that change opportunities for selective outrage.You were more than a little late to that party.

The same person loved and vehemently defended Enterprise with the best of them.
I thought 22d century Romulans vessels were disguised, not cloaked?
The patrol vessels that intercept Enterprise NX-01 in the minefield decloak as Malcolm watches.
It was the remote controlled Romulan Drone ship that did that.
Well did keep referencing "the war" that took place 75 years before "Emissary (TNG)", so that's only about 10 years off...
And recloaked, then decloaked, then recloaked again...at seemingly random moments.
The novelverse did an interesting take on that: cloaking technology was so unstable, and consumed so much power, that any vessel so cloaked inevitably self-destructed. So the concept was abandoned for a hundred years, until TOS' time.
Easy peasy.
I know this wasn't the intent, but I always felt that those Romulan ships were actually from the future, and part of the Temporal Cold War. Which would explain their anachronistic design.
Setting the show in, say, 2313, would give the Klingons enough time to rebuild after Praxis to the point where T'Kuvma would have the forces to take control of the Empire. He'd then wage his war and cause the Klingons and the Federation to be at odds with each other again until 2344 when the Enterprise-C was destroyed.

One does have to mentally correct these.
I was in grade 6 in 1989: my friends an I were watching TNG every week and going to the TOS movies as they came out.
Another thing one has to mentally correct.

A closeup of the TOS-style desk commpanels in SNW.
A very dated look for 2259, by 200 years. Wish it was a touchscreen panel, sticking to 1960's T.V production values is ridiculousA closeup of the TOS-style desk commpanels in SNW.
