"Off-canon?"</i> Dude, we're in an <i>"alternate timeline"</i> now, where everything, from interstellar alliances to characters' ages, is magically different, any past & future continutity (or logic) be damned! <br /><br />In a universe where everyone was at the Academy together, the Menagerie never happened, and everyone apparently knew what Romulans looked like decades before Balance Of Terror, who can say that the Klingons didn't get their ridges back earlier? And if Kirk can command the Enterprise when he's 2 days out of the Academy, who can say Kor couldn't get his command earlier, too?<br /><br />Oh, JJ Abrams, what have you wrought??snellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181997862745538999noreply@blogger.com
