There were usually two crews ,like American submarines have two operating crews- Gold and Blue, that keep operating the Enterprise at all times. Besides people keep getting pulled into new assignments all the time. Maybe Paris is the new villain in the movie. She tries to "pose" them to death. Chekov could have been around.

No, no, and no, it can't be done"....Well...Whose to say he wasn't down on the lower decks during the first season, not a bridge officer. This would make Star Trek II pan out. That would be cool.

That episode always pissed me off, especially when compared to DS9's 'Trials and Tribbleations' which went to great, great effort to preserve the content of the original episode, even going so far as to use the original actor that played Darvin. #123

In Flashback, everything happened within 3 days. The bottom line is beyond the first scene, no one watched the movie. It was arguably the worst episode in Trek history for quite a few reasons. Terrible writing. Terrible story. #99–In Star Trek VI, the explosion of Praxis happened 3 months before Kirk and crew got involved. In Flashback, everything happened within 3 days.

I won't mind a few liberties taken, especially for the sake of storytelling and characterization. As you said, the canon already has a lot of flaws, so a few more little inconsistencies for plot's sake won't matter. #120 Agreed… to a point. ;) They should try their best to follow what has been established, as they have promised to do, but they should not let it get in the way of writing a damn good movie.

Healthy discourse is one thing, but this horse has been beaten into a pile of bones before the foal is born. Ask yourself this: would you rather see a new vision of the entire mythos through the eyes of someone who is reverent, yet takes a couple liberties with an already flawed canon, or would you rather see someone who regurgitates the same-ol'-shiznit, with updated ILM smoke and mirrors? Give them a chance, fer chrissakes! Canon, shmanon. Healthy discourse is one thing, but this horse has been beaten into a pile of bones before the foal is born.
