Which leads me to think this occurred before any of it. Or at the time they relegated their lower tier ships and starbase to this mission (explaining why we haven’t heard of California-class before). Everyone else is trying to help Romulus. Which of course we know the black hole created didn’t work, thus leaving the Prime Timeline without Spock.

Was this the story I expected? No.

Did I enjoy this? I thought it was awesome.

The impending supernova doesn’t occur until 2387 and the latest stardate available indicates a year of 2382 (“Fully Dilated”). The synth attack on Mars, which as a reminder was orchestrated by Zhat Vash to stop the evacuation fleet, happened on First Contact Day of 2385. The closest we’ve gotten was PRO. And I can’t figure out how to add a spoiler so I won’t mention it.

That was for certain the surprise guest star.

The romance between Bashir and Garak is lifted from a fan-written script that Alexander Siddig and Andrew Robinson participated in table read of. I haven’t watched this but check it out. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL6Y6m9C-4ulaz0BIRw4Kf4ebSEWVzaT5

That was fucking epic.

Also, she goes by Jolene now?

Clearly Braxton’s.

Archer probably thinks the UT is translating the claps too.

Just replace the dog with a targ.

Is that Quimbly?

Nah, James would be doing a taste test of all the available replicated coffee and showing you his method for programming the best coffee on the food replicator.

Missing a dwarf.

In all seriousness, this movie did have evidence that history changed. Khan wasn’t born till the 21st century (see “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”).

They brought back the Highwave Hotjo mug. I thought that was specifically a Cardassian design.

Also I just happened to buy my own recently.

Again, it was only The Klingon Encounter. Didn’t get to explore the rest that was there.

How can he be following the lead of an augment that isn’t yet born?

Well, we know they didn’t produce a naturally birthed child.

He looks too much like Jeffrey Hunter. How could he have thought to audition for that character instead?

I wonder how it came out brunt. I know the episode says it was malfunctioning, but that looked like something in the programming was off.
