Star Trek nerd

OK, I knew I was a Star Trek nerd -- I can identify those episodes from very few cues, etc.

Today, I know it's really bad. Last night, we watched the Enterprise episode "Twilight" which takes place in part in a colony on Ceti Alpha V. Why does that planet name sound familiar? It's where Khan Singh's colony was (ST: Wrath of Khan). Of course, since Enterprise's timeline was reinitialized, the planet, which we know is M-class, is presumably available for Khan and his people....but I still think the continuity folks should've picked a different planet name.

I thought he settled on V and VI blew up. Hmmmm, I guess I'll have to check. :)

But the confusion that happens in the beginning of STII:TWoK only makes since if V blew up, while Khan was settled on VI. Or, any lower number blows up. If Khan had been settled on the lower number, then the planet's destruction wouldn't have renumbered his planet, but only those further out.
