: People often forgive it in science fiction (bafflingly to me) but think of it
: this way: It would be like watching an episode of the Dukes of Hazzard.
: The General Lee is a 1969 Dodge Charger. Orange, with a confederate flag
: on the roof and 01 on the doors. You watch a season of the show go by.
: Then they do a movie, say 10 years later.

: In the movie, it fictionally takes place a single day after the last episode
: (despite the 10 years gap in real life). But now they're using a more
: modern Charger. It's still orange but not quite the same shade. The flag
: is still there but the font changed for the 01 which is actually now 10.

: Is this acceptable? Is it really just about the story? Should what's been
: established to be preserved to help maintain the fiction?

I totally agree with you, in principal and everything. I just have an easier time forgiving it haha
