Didn't Phil Morris play Lt. John Kelly in the Voyager episode One Small Step?
Edited to add: I just looked it up on IMDB. Yes he did play Lt. Kelly and they have him listed as appearing in the episode Miri in 1966, uncredited.
What's in YOUR 'head canon'?

"Who told you to kidnap the yeoman? Did I tell you to kidnap the yeoman? I didn't tell you to kidnap the yeoman!"
Yep. He also appeared on DS9 a couple of times - played a Jem'Hadar ("Rocks and Shoals") and a Klingon ("Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places").
And he was Cadet Foster in ST III ("Sir? Are they planning a ceremony when we get in? I mean, a reception?").
It has been suggested that Miri's planet isn't a colony of Earth - it IS Earth (of a parallel universe, somehow drifted into the normal Trek universe temporarily). And Magna Roma was due to Preserver influence.
I was just about to post and say that I vaguely in the back of my head recalled that he played John Kelly, and upon checking the wiki, had discovered what Mr. Laser Beam beat me to below:
...Plus, he was the cadet that asked Kirk if there'd be 'a reception' when the Enterprise returned home in TSFS. He gets about, does our Phil!
Also Phil's sister Iona was in VOY's "Workforce" - and appeared alongside Phil in "Miri". I don't know which one of the kids is her, though.
As Mr. Laser Beam noted, right after the portion of his post that you quoted:
In my head canon Bond (and all the 00's) is a position and not an individual. Each new Bond was a new hire for the position. His entire life and identity was erased and he becomes Bond.
Whoops, missed that!
I love JJ forehead bling. I just finished binging DS9 and every time I saw Gowron I imagined he had forehead bling. Gowron seems like the space bling kind of Klingon.
And Ferengi with earrings are shunned by Ferengi society as freaks.

SNIP!
Actually, the vessel that is pictured before the NCC-1701 picture in the Rec Room is the ship Archer was the captain of, in my own head canon. THAT ship was the "original" NX-01 Enterprise, before the Temporal Cold War mucked up things. In fact, I remember reading a fan fiction story, from an author who did mostly M*A*S*H crossover stories, that had a version of Enterprise that looked like the one in that Rec Room scene in TMP. The story had no mention of TCW, and the Suliban were played straight. FYI.
Whedon said that, a lot. But he never actually did it. The Alliance were bad bad bad guys at every step of the way. I know we only got a handful of episodes but the Alliance was never painted with any shade of gray. Ever.
No. Basic to TOS was an idea that I remember as being fascinating to me as a kid... the idea that, given precisely identical conditions, identical planets with identical geography and/or culture could arise independently in very widely separated parts of space. With NO contact whatsoever between them... but the starting conditions have to be identical. There is a name for the theory in Trek. I've forgotten it.
-----------------------------------------
Now, the biggest reason for it was as a cost-cutting measure to make Trek feasible to produce... but Trek, being a smart show run by smart creative people, came up with a justification that got my imagination racing when I was young. The idea was often the most interesting thing about any episode in which it was used.
--------------------------------
Latter day Trek viewers approach Trek in a cynical way, sometimes, assuming stupid reasons, or no reasons, for things happening in stories. They're used to product television. Give Gene R, Gene C, and company some credit. They made a point of thinking these things through.
---------------------------------------
No, they weren't just casually throwing Earths at us as if it never occurred to them that space wasn't filled with Americans. No, it wasn't a matter of throwing space cowboys or space Romans at us without the slightest justification, expecting us all just to accept anything in the name of an hour's diverting entertainment.
------------------------
Someone else will have to mention the name of the theory, please...
Have you ever read @Christopher's "Department of Temporal Investigations" novels? He offers an interesting take on this:
The artifacts we saw in the episode, like the Constitution and the flag, were actually left behind by the crew of a passing Earth freighter. The inhabitants adopted those symbols into their own culture as if they'd had them all along.
Besides, there's no way those artifacts could be as old as the episode says they are, because they would have crumbled into dust a long time ago.

Miniskirts for women were introduced as a Starfleet uniform in the mid 2260's as an April Fool joke however the Tellarite Chief quarter master did not get it
While there are no official chaplains, some counselors, as well as those who have been certified as "peer counselors" (much in the same way an engineering crewman might get first aid training), can provide religious counseling if so requested by the needy party.
Since Voyager didn't have an official counselor, it was Chakotay that tried to help Neelix when he lost his faith.
I honestly don't know what I would have said to Neelix if I'd been there. I guess the best thing I could come up with would be something like this:
Since Neelix didn't see his afterlife, he was never really dead to begin with - regardless what the medical sensors said. The very fact that he was able to be brought back at all, would seem to bear this out.
