  • For most of Star Trek’s history, the Prime timeline holds together no matter what happens to it.

    I respectfully disagree.

    James Kirk of the united earth space probe agency or whatevs sends his regards to the united federation of planets 🙃

    Later in Disco we see… many anachronisms, which makes it hard to write of earlier inconsistencies as just errata.

    My own conclusion is that star trek is like a jigsaw puzzle both with some pieces missing and some pieces from other puzzles entirely.

    Edit: as a counter point, I would say that statement is true of other (smaller) franchises, like planet of the apes.


  • ENT 04x07 The Forge might be the earliest human mindmeld and the recipient is brain damaged and comatosed:

    SOVAL: He’s comatose, brain-damaged, and he’s human. A mind-meld is dangerous under the best of conditions, but under these…

    Later

    SOVAL: I don’t know if this has ever been attempted with a human before.

    SOVAL: My mind to your mind. Our minds are one. Our thoughts are joined. Yes.

    SOVAL: I see what you see. The embassy. I’m at my station. At your station. So many new people arriving for the summit. I don’t recognise them all, but some I know. A package. That’s all right. I don’t need to see it. Go right through. Who are you? Who?
