Mysteries of the TOS Universe (SPOILERS)

Recommended Posts

Star Trek Enterprise has, in a cannon way, taken original Star Trek episodes that have been around for 40 years or so and tied bits of it together, like loose threads we never knew were there.

 

Take, for example, the TOS first season episode Space Seed - little did we know at the time, that the genetic descendants of Khan and other genetic throwbacks from the '1990s' like him, were actually the cause of the Klingon's appearance in TOS. Ie, that the Superhumans' genes were used at the time of the series Enterprise, by Klingon researchers to try to create a super-Klingon equivalent, resulting in a disease that removed the Klingons' bumps that were seen from The Motion Picture to date.

 

Another tie-in is between the TOS second season episode Mirror Mirror and its third season's The Tholian web. Little did viewers know for all those years, that the Defiant actually slipped into a mirror universe where it had a knock on effect for the inhabitants of that universe resulting in those characters and events that occurred in Mirror Mirror.

 

Other things we took for granted in TOS were also 'explained' by Enterprise, such as why Vulcan was so baron looking (Nuclear wars) yet had produced so much life; where 'Red' alert had come from (aka Reid alert, groan) and so on.

 

WAS THIS ALL NECESSARY? HAS IT MERELY TAMPERED WITH SOMETHING SACRED????

Was it necessary?.......no. But I do think it was pretty cool to tie certain events together. Its like finding missing pieces of a puzzle.
