Do you think LGBT characters will feature more prominently?

World War III, as described in the movie Star Trek First Contact.

DATA: According to our astrometric readings we're in the mid twenty-first century. From the radioactive isotopes in the atmosphere I would estimate we have arrived approximately ten years after the Third World War.
RIKER: Makes sense. Most of the major cities have been destroyed. There are few governments left. Six hundred million dead. No resistance.
WORF: Captain!
 
I'm seeing 2026 listed as the start.

Not sure about the canon on that.

But blending the earlier start from TOS with the movie that gave real dates, Memory Alpha is saying that a number of limited conflicts collectively called World War III started in 2026, that concluded in a full nuclear exchange in 2054.

That would mean that we're only ten years away from destruction!:eek:
 
You're awful with time.

Captain James T. Kirk: [looking at a library picture of Khan on viewscreen] Name: Khan Noonien Singh.

Mr. Spock: From 1992 through 1996, absolute ruler of more than a quarter of your world, from Asia through the Middle East.

Dr. McCoy: The last of the tyrants to be overthrown.

Scott: I must confess, gentlemen. I've always held a sneaking admiration for this one.

Voyager crashed into 1996 in Future's End.

At the time it was unthinkable that America could truck on happily without there being some sign that the other half of the planet is on fire, yes, unthinkable, at the time.

I guess Star Trek really happens in an alternate reality.
 
I assumed it was from a novel, or they talk about a list of historical events seen on a computer screen on an episode of Enterprise.

I'm willing to spend 3 minutes fact checking anything I say here, until someone says the magic words "You're wrong!" and then the rest of my life goes on pause for as long as necessary.

;)

The claim is that it was production art (more monitor readouts) from in a Mirror Darkly II... But I'm having difficulty locking down a screen capture.

That's easy enough. First you get close to the instant you want to capture and then you move frame by frame. You can't miss it.
 
Someother bugger should have already done it, oh look, they have. :)

People always think it's the end of the world and everything is terrible. In reality, this is the best possible time to be alive in human history
Might be more accurite to say some things are currently at their best, while other areas were much better in the past. For example, employment numbers and financial security were better in both the 1920's and late 1950's than today.

We certainly had more personal privacy in the past.

Riker stated that 600 million died owing to WWIII, that entry says 37 million.
