personally i hate time travel.
Time travel episodes (from the various series), represent some of my favorites. It's probably the whole fish out of water thing, which was somewhat literally portrayed on several levels in Star Trek IV, which I loved despite its lack of Klingons--at least we got a BoP...Heh This fascination, for me, goes back to the fact that as a child the ONLY Star Trek was TOS, and those eps were some of the coolest, again, to me.
Anyway, in the case of Everything old is New, and several other Missions, Particularly Past Imperfect, when we go backwards in time it's never Earth pre-federation. The point I was making is that the Cryptic post "Steel and Karma," suggests that the Na'kuhl have visited old pre-federation Earth more than once (we saw them in the Enterprise eps
Stormfront I and II, ca. 1944 as well).
Now this could simply be filler, or it may relate to an ancient Sulu-relative being brought forward in time (an opportunity to Bring George Takei into STO?).
Either is possible, and certainly more likely than Cryptic designing some art assets from old Earth, but one can hope.
People liking time travel eps or not aside, it makes me wonder just how much we might glean from the post referenced in the OP.
maj!
