Riddle me this

Okay, used to be a big trek fan until they ended DSN. Alright answer me this. In the episode where Janeway and the gang go back to 1996 or whatever to stop the timeship from killing everyone. Where was the wars in which Khan was around. Remember him from Star trek TOS?

i'm going to answer this with respect to the very well written books by Greg Cox "the rise and fall of khan noonien singh" which very well document the khan story, by linking it into real events that happened over the last couple of decades but basically attributing a number of them to the superhumans of khan and his gang. The story involves Gary Seven and his initial attempts to work with khan and then against him IIRC, to answer you question the majority of the world (according to these books) had no knowledge of the war with the superheroes and i presume that is what is going on when janeway goes back to 1996. Alternatively they wanted a good storyline and said damn continuity to hell.

i wouldnt call that ep good

Riamfada

makes little sence but hey. If there is a book about it!

most books arent cannon ...........i think star trek time line is just being changed in light of real world events.....IE the likely hood for a gentic superman made by the soviets was considered a real likely hood and so it like ww3 was built into star trek history

now that such things are unlikey they are changeing the history a bit

maybe !

I may be mistaken but i thought the war Khan and his boys was involved happened in 1999! I could check i supose if i wasent so lazzy.

Spock

I also read those books and they were very good, although no Star Trek book holds any weight in what we see on the tel or in films so the answer is, Someone messed up big time.

Its kinda blasphemous in a way. I mean the writers of Voyager should follow the original storyline of The Original Series. Part of Star Trek's attraction is the way that events tie in between the four series ( I dont class Enterprise as a series ) . I think that when they started to vary off from TOS and the Next Generation to Voyager they left what Star Trek actually was and created a program merley based on the idea.

Woden

no the books aren't cannon and don't count for the continuity stakes, however i do believe the books hold weight against some of the episodes, i've read books set after DS9 has ended and found them very good, i know there immediately overridden if something was shown on T.V but they tide me over. With regards to continuity i think the people involved in star trek try real hard to keep it going properly but mistakes are made.

So anyway i did a bit of asking around on this point as it played on my mind a bit and the answer i got was far from satisfactory bet here is goes.

anyway the Khan ugenics wars were in 1996 but they happened in europe and asia. But janway dident go bavk to 1996 but rather 1998. So i`ve sent my mate of to verify this in his cronology that he has but that is how he rembers it. i`ll let u guys know the full story when i get it.

and anyway even if the producers made a slight mistake who cares its such a big universe that they are bound to get the od thing wrong as they have already done.
