Should the Picard Show ignore ST-2009 destruction of Romulus?

Should the Picard Show ignore Romulus destination from ST-2009

  • Yes - a nice attempt to tie the reboot to prime, but keep it part of the Kelvinverse future

No, it should not ignore the Kelvin timeline, and we shouldn't either. I don't love that universe, but it has happened and we need to move forward from there.
 
i'd say that they can't ignore it. Like others, I'd assume that some sort of implication from the destruction of Romulus is what necessitates Picard's return to the Federation. My guess is that the mysterious girl might be another Romulan clone of Picard, maybe enhanced with Borg tech which is why Seven of Nine is needed?
 
Yeah, all we really know about set-in-stone dates is what the comic shows. And the comic can be contradicted by the actual show.
Also it wasn't even set in stone in the comic, it was an estimation. It could happen later or even earlier.

IOW, Shinzon had a sister?

How does Voyager factor into the Kelvin timeline?

Picard is also a follow-up to Voyager.

She has a LOT more to offer Picard and the team than just a knowledge of Borg tech.

She's an engineer, a former soldier with EXTENSIVE combat experience, an Unconventional Warfare specialist (emphasis on the term "Unconventional"), and a Mistress of weapons:

(Whatever she can't build, she can always acquire. :) )

You can't go by IMDB (it's mostly powered by fan contributions).

Last I heard, Jeri is supposed to appear in three eps (given that the season is only ten episodes long, that's a good amount of time).
 
They should ignore it because it took place in another timeline.
The supernova took place in the prime/main/original one (at least as much the original one as anything in Trek is)
What @F. King Daniel said. The supernova occurred in the Prime timeline, where Nimoy Spock is from, and why he felt responsible.

I may not like the destruction of Romulus but I am a huge fan of exploring consequences. And this is a big consequence to explore.
