Tarsus IV

[Cary L. Brown]

SHatner addresses that in his book ("Collision course") and I like his solution...

Kodos took over the colony and declared himself governor... AFTER the crop-destroying plague. Nobody knew who he was, because he was a "masked terrorist" type who seized control by force.

Then it seems strange to refer to him as Governor Kodos 20 years later.

If that's what he referred to himself as, and that's the only name he was known by... why not?

Nero indirectly spares the crew of the Enterprise from hearing Riley's rendition of, "I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen."

I expect the Tarsus IV element was dropped for this story.

Which is too bad. I mean, I don't expect direct reference to it, but it's too bad if the new timeline makes it go away. It is interesting back story, missing to the detriment of Capt. NuKirk.
