I'm assuming Scotty took part in the repairs of the Enterprise during the 3 month timejump between the season premiere and this episode? It would make a lot of sense and help even further to explain him overseeing the refit in TMP (not that he wasn't already overly qualified by nature of being chief engineer).
 
Even John Harriman had to have commanded some other ship prior to the Enterprise-B. I know in the (always non-canon) novelverse he got the command through nepotism thanks to his father being a revered Starfleet Admiral, but even in that case he'd commanded another vessel of some kind before the 1701-B was commissioned.
Yep. Harriman's first command was the USS Amazon, a Starfleet Parts Delivery Ship.
 
But without continuity and consistency stories lose cohesion and if we stop caring about connectivity then we never have series or sagas.

Stories are an art form and must be carefully crafted. Failings of continuity are absolutely failings of the story. Whether your plot contradicts what you are meant to be a sequel/prequel to as much as if it contradicts itself.

Jules Verne's '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," "The Mysterious Island," and "In Search of the Castaways" form a loose trilogy that contradicts itself with Captain Nemo's backstory, the years the events take place, and the locations as well.
Doesn't stop me from enjoying them.

Indeed.

The purpose of fiction is an entertaining lie to engage me with and invite me to a new place.

I certainly salute you for it. In fact I envy you for it. For some reason I am hardwired differently and must explain every minor inconsistency either through rationale or if necessary retconning and rewriting. I must also headcanon in most gaps in the timelines too. Dont ask me why Ive just got the bad brain.
 
No duds.

It was GR's intention, per TMOST, that Kirk's first command had been a smaller vessel. Which only makes sense.

IIRC, it was a destroyer.

Even John Harriman had to have commanded some other ship prior to the Enterprise-B. I know in the (always non-canon) novelverse he got the command through nepotism thanks to his father being a revered Starfleet Admiral, but even in that case he'd commanded another vessel of some kind before the 1701-B was commissioned.

What if Harriman was an XO of another ship before he took command, like Riker? That would still make the B his first captaincy.
 
Huh there were two Kiley at the event

Yes! But this is the trailer for S3, I was talking about something like this:

The video they post after the premiere.
Guess they didn't make one, or just letting it do with the trailer you posted.

Eh. what's the difference?
 
Have they ever done one of those with any of the modern Trek shows? I certainly don't remember one being done for SNW's previous two seasons.
I remember them doing it for DSC S3 and SNW S2 but for the life of me can't find the vids now. :shrug:

On a personal note: Paramount apparently has enough money to pay South Park 300M a year for P+ exclusivity, yet they cancel Star Trek shows left and right, or can't get a 4th KT movie going.
Fucking pathetic management.
