The official web site has posted a complete transcript of the press conference that occurred Monday night at Paramount. Most of the information has been covered in all the press reports, but some quotes in their entirety are worth noting:
Q: Question for the producers. As you know, your fans are, let's say, attentive to details. In doing the prequel, did you find any problems in making sure that the mythology works out, that there aren't any sorts of dead ends?
BRANNON BRAGA: Not really. Because it's set before the first series, a lot of the continuity elements haven't even occurred yet. But we have paid close attention to all things Star Trek in conceiving the show and plan to utilize and exploit a lot of the things that people have come to appreciate about Star Trek.
RICK BERMAN: You know, there have been so many books written that if you really studied them, you find that they contradict each other, that the history between Captain Kirk and the present has been discussed in episodes and discussed in books and in novels. And we have to take some degree of liberty with just how closely we adhere to those things because they very often contradict each other.
BRANNON BRAGA: In the Original Series it was established that in 1996 half the human race was killed in the Eugenics Wars. Well, what do you do? Do you pay attention to that, or do you just glide on by? So you take it on a case-by-case basis.
