Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

#2

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

#3

Star Trek: First Contact
  1. Zephram Cochrane appeared in the TOS episode “Metamorphosis” & he was 20 years younger.
  2. Cochrane is referred to in “Metamorphosis” as “Zephram Cochrane of Alpha Centauri.” I do not believe that this phrase was intended by Gene Coon or anyone else associated with Star Trek to mean any less than that Cochrane is an alien native of Alpha Centauri. Furthermore, in making the claim that Cochrane invented warp drive, the additional unstated phrase “sole inventor” is implied. Why would you say someone is the inventor of something if you really mean to say that someone invented something that many others had invented independently, with some of these inventions predating that of the one you had just claimed as the inventor???
  3. Thus First Contact (at least from the standpoint of Earth) had to have been between Earth & Alpha Centauri since Cochrane invented warp drive.
  4. Because Cochrane invented warp drive, the Vulcans cannot have had warp drive unless they previously contacted Alpha Centauri.
