Who cares as long as it's extertaining? Seriously, people getting worked up over Star Trek is just funny.
Ironic.
I've started watching Star Trek since TNG, and I feel that the original Star Trek has way more discontinuity when you mix it in with the other star treks. The reason being is because it was made so long ago and Roddenbery didnt imagine it could lead to this. I mean, if you really think about it, its a diverse timeline. The writers had to piece together approximately 300 years worth of history. In my opinion, they are just cleaning up the lone episoides or two that dont really make sense, and force them to follow the story line.
When Archer met the Romulans, people thought he had killed continuity when he did not. And I doubt this will kill continuity again.

You are confused. Of course there is going to be discontinuity compared to the OS. It is the newer shows that are ignoring the original timeline. Roddenberry's vision encompassed more than just what the OS did. He just couldn't express it the way he wanted to. Considering he died at the beginning of STTNG, it is no wonder there is discontinuity. Why follow the timeline when you can just make stuff up for ratings?

About Enterprise / Borg
All hail :disgust:Rick Berman:disgust:
In FC One ship gave the entire fleet a run for their money...Voyager in contrast was able to destroy the entire borg collective :\.
And now this like AUGH.
How about finishing the series with earth is assimilated, its over
The story goes that Earth sent a space craft to Alpha Centauri with a drive that allowed them to achieve near-light speeds, and when they arrived they discovered a humanoid race had already evolved there, and had just perfected the Warp Drive. Zephram Cochrane gave the secret of the technology to the humans as a gift, so their return trip was much faster, and the rest was history, until they changed it for Star Trek: First Contact, because the writers could not stand the thought that a non-Earth person invented the Warp Drive.
You mean the thought that a non-earth person invented the warp drive used by humans.
Exactly. Roddenberry is probably spinning in his grave now due to the goofy crap they have done since his death. Saying that the ORIGINAL series is discontinuous to the newer series is ridiculous, when it is actually the other way around.

That is so cool, yet so wrong. If the borg are activated, they immediately send out a signal to re-establish their link to the hive. Which means the signal is going to travel to their home quadrant and it's going to accelerate their invasion. Hmm... what I would really like to see, is perhaps a comeback of the "Cooperative", where the ex-borg cube lost it's link to the Collective and regained their individualism, but still needed a shared mind hive to stay peaceful.
I think it was rather pathetic how Voyager consistently developed new concepts and potential storylines in each episode and then threw it off a cliff at the end. Like the episode with "One", he was the coolest good guy borg ever - but NOOOOO, he's dead. And then the one with "Tuvix", where Tuvak and Nelix merged... he was cool, they should have found a way to preserve him and still bring back Tuvak and Nelix.
They should have One regenerate - come back to life - and then recruit the Cooperative and start a war with the Collective. Then when Enterprise is done with it's dozen seasons, they can start a "Star Trek: Age of Borg" series.

ACTUALLY...They said (in a different article) that they found a really nice way to keep the continuity and not mess everything up. See, the problem is that everyone is always screaming that they want new aliens and stuff, then when they add a new alien, everyone complains that startrek is losing it's roots and that they should stick with original aliens and explore the aliens that already exist. It's a no win situation because no matter what they do everyone is screaming. I think it's a really cool way to bring the borg into Enterprise, if only for one show.

Actually, Tasha was captured by the Romulans and became the wife of a Romulan and had a child. Tasha tried to smuggle the child out, but the child (being half Romulan) didn't want to go and alerted the Guards. Tasha was executed and the child grew up to be a military leader who met with Picard in a later episode. It was very nicely done and I just love how they did it.

In Voyager, (original) Q and Mrs. Q has the first Q baby... perhaps this started a reproductive revolution, and lead to Trelane? In the original series, his "parents" come and get him and he is scolded/punished... since Q are multidimensional and don't go by a normal timeline, maybe Trelane represents the future race of the Continuum.
When Q became a father, that opened up a whole new can of worms, because Q can slide into any time, so they would have known Q would start reproducing, or perhaps Q are omnipotent but not omniscient nor omnipresent and still follow the normal timeline as a baseline of their existance...
Who was Trelane? Was that the baby's name of Q and Mrs. Q?
Edit: Mrs. Q was a hottie. What happened to the "Q" girl that was in TNG? She grew up as a human, but her parents were like exiled "Q".

He's a Q, pretty much, although I don't know if that's what Roddenberry had in mind when he first appeared.
This baby stuff is just fun conjecture

Time travel in movies always ends up stupid, might as well raise the "Cheese" flag right when time travel hits the paper.

Original literature described his race as non-corporeal beings similar to the medusa and the Organians, with great mental power that was never meant to be used to harm or torture lesser lifeforms.
