@schornstephan If I may ask: what are these continuity problems? Is there an article somewhere about it?
@mansemat Sure ;-)
McKennah and Smith have been introduced by Star Trek Continues. They don't appear and aren't mentioned in the movies that take place after the end of the 5 year mission. This episode gives an explanation why, so STC fits into canon.
If McKennah had been still alive, the crew definitely would have taken her to the V'Ger mission.
This episode also explains why Kirk gave up command of the Enterprise and became Admiral.
I think there've been more. I haven't watched this episode for a year.

I am so much impressed, I can't describe it.
This goes straight to my Top 10 list of any Star Trek episode ever produced.
The story is absoletly impressing. And they've solved quite a few continuity problems without it looking forced.
Some of these solvings are very sad though...
There's not a single second in this episode that I have any criticism for.
This episode turned the whole of Star Trek up to 11!
