I shouldn’t be talking because I’ve dedicate countless days, maybe even months, of my life to watching and rewatching Star Trek. I love it. I get emotional, sometimes to the point of shedding a tear, over how positive of an effect Star Trek has had on my life, but Warbler, you’re getting hung up on little things. Star Trek’s timeline doesn’t exist at all, Kelvin or original, because it is fiction. If the new stuff bothers you, don’t watch it, or watch it and complain about how shitty it is, but don’t complain about how it is inconsistent within a timeline that is already inconsistent in many ways.
