Perhaps it implied that.

But it only ever implied that, and meanwhile we had other evidence that implied a separate conclusion, in the form of Kor, Kang, and Koloth.

Which is more likely-- that every Klingon Kirk encountered during his five-year mission was a survivor of the augment virus (edit: Including Kahless, who lived and died centuries before Archer!) and no Klingon encountered outside of that time period was; or that the Klingons ruthlessly quarantined or even executed carriers of the augment virus and wiped it out before it got too far, and TOS's visuals aren't literal?

I dug 'em. It was a good experiment in pushing Trek's aliens beyond a forehead and an accent.

Or, keeping up SNW's traditions of reviving projects from early in Star Trek's history, we could finally get M'benga leading a medical frigate in the vein of the Hopeship pitch.

Is there anyone still holding out for a “refit” of the beautiful SNW Enterprise so that it “really” looks like a set from the late 1960s?

Sadly, I can confirm there are.

I concur with your conclusions. In the famous words of Captain Picard, it is possible to make no mistakes and still fail. Tilly did the best she could against a superior opponent, and when the opportunity to turn that defeat around arose, she scraped out a win with casualties minimized, and I think proved herself more prepared for command than the show or fandom generally gave her credit for.

Assuming the Eugenics War is still followed by WW3, that only leaves a max of 49 years

What's so unusual about that? Consider how close World War 1 and World War 2 were to each other. Consider how infrequent global peace is generally.

Sadly not yet.

Isn't Galt the colony the Rozhenkos lived on while they were bringing up Worf?

There's a lot-- a lot-- of trans subtext in it too.

Probably, though one would presume protections would be in place for notable natural features.

Close, but not exactly. While this community is for in-depth discussion of Star Trek, we don't expect-- and in fact generally discourage-- answering from an in-universe perspective.

Certainly not. But they are nice to see.
