[NCC1966]

Some things are not worth the arguments. I do as I do and others can do as they do. Rationalizing all of Trek is a road to madness, and I have see it drive people mad.

This!

Prior to the movies, there was nothing else but what we saw in TOS. We didn't even know how far into the future Star Trek took place

Roughly 200 years, kinda, maybe, give or take, sorta. Roddenberry was purposely vague on that.

Yeah, I got that. They were always fuzzy, referring to the 20th Century as "centuries ago." But was there anything more definitive stated in TOS? I don't recall (I also don't recall the USS Carolina, so admittedly my memory's not the best). I didn't think they ever set it in stone until TWOK with the line at the beginning, "In the 23rd Century..."

Tomorrow is Yesterday The Air Force dude threats to lock up Kirk for "200 years". Kirk states wryly "That will be just about right." And that is it. A throw away comment that some people latch onto like gospel.

Thanks. Yeah, that's about as vague as you can get.
