Oh, that’s very cool! And there’s some visuals in there that would have been cool to see in the finished sequence. I especially like this timelapse shot of the atrium …
Y'know, I couldn't tell the difference between Earth versus the shipyard planet where the audience was introduced to the Athena.
You don't see them often in movies or TV shows, but I've seen pictures of people with very, very dark skin who weren't too dissimilar from the aliens in SFA.
See for example the model Khoudia Diop.
Yeah and they admitted it was a mistake.
RDM has also said they avoided giving a specific date for the Eugenics Wars in DS9's dialogue because they weren't happening in real life.
How about conservatives and liberals? The country was a very different place back in those days. So im thinking they all had similar thoughts. Hopefully they were good and they learned something.
So far ive liked very little. But there are a few things.
The NX wasn't a federation starship. It didnt break continuity. There was never any scree communications.
It was not nearly this bad. Fans had a few complaints but nothing like we are seeing in the Kurtzman era. STD and SNW broke the mist canon of any shows both visually and story wise.
It definitely did.
Invisibility was only "theoretically possible," per Spock.
So, here we have the crux of the matter. Star Trek shows that are old enough get a pass; excuses are made, head canon weaved, "they didn't know better," or it's significance is diminished.
But, with newer Trek, it gets nitpicked to death with savage autopsy being justified as loving criticism.
It's bullshit.
It probably was, weve just got social media and a broader use of the internet now than when Voyager debuted, even than when ENT debuted. Anyone with a laptop can set up a YouTube Channel or a Podcast these days.
People have always compared "real Trek" against the latest version, with extreme bias towards the old, starting with TNG.
Absolutely and utterly irrelevant. The point was that in "Balance of Terror" Spock declared that cloaking technology was theoretical at best. And yet Enterprise gave the Romulans cloaks 100 years before that. That is by far the biggest continuity error in the entire history of the franchise and it's not even a contest.

That is not what Spock said.
SPOCK: Invisibility is theoretically possible, Captain, with selective bending of light. But the power cost is enormous.
And if they had encountered cloaks a century earlier, why would it be considered "theoretical"?
Exactly. Spock's words leave no margin for an earlier encounter. Cloaks were not practically possible at the time of TOS.
So how did the Enterprise give romulans cloaking technology? I dont remember that at all.
It was not cloaking technology. It was a romulan drone that used holographics and masked sensors. It wasnt the true romulam cloak that we saw in TOS.
Again, justifications for writing errors.
Not a justification. Thats what was in the episode. Those drones were not using cloaking technology. You guys are so desperate to say that Berman trek has worse canon issues than kurtzman so are trying to throw people off. Maybe you all just dont know the Berman Trek to well. Again it was drones that had holographic projection tech and the drones messed with sensors. Thats not how romulan ship cloaks work.
