Possible, but it already sounds too much like the end of Discovery Season 2.
I give a flying #@$% what this guy thinks anyway...? I neither know or care who he is and even less about some Twitter-splurge drama queen histrionic meltdown.
The show is what it is. Mostly I like it, some bits more so, some less. I’ll watch it in due course and come to my own conclusions, thanks.

Former Trekkie of note who was a director/writer/editor. He helped produce the VAM on the TNG blurays and did some interviews. It was the height of his career...then he got involved with Axanar and now he's a troll who monetized his channel to make the $ he should have in his professional career.
RAMA
And insignificant blip on the radar.
We already know their is alternate timelines so just messing with history I think alone would do nothing other than basically confirm that CBS Trek is not Prime Universe anymore but not Kelvinverse either. Which is actually what I think most people want so I doubt this would be the thing that ruins canon. Only way I can see them pissing people off is filling in the backstory of the Guardian of Forever and doing something dumb like saying Burnham's mom invented it. That would actually be something that impacts in any universe. I could see them also doing something like saying in this new timeline that Captain Georgiou was captain of the Enterprise instead of Kirk which would no doubt be seen as a middle finger to he Kirk character but then again were also talking alternate timeline so who cares. Real Kirk still did his thing.

He helped make one of the greatest movies that celebrates fandom in Free Enterprise.

Thanks.
That's kind of what I meant in a roundabout way.
Except there was never any plans to tie it into the borg.
It might be fun to watch the fandom menace meltdown if Burnham were to pull a Bad Wolf or Impossible Girl, but I must admit that it isn't the direction I would like to see the show go in.
Hopefully this is something unremarkable that RMB is blowing out of proportion for the attention.

Anyone look on IMDB to see if SMG is cast in the next season of Doctor Who?
I guess it depends on if you think "Terra Firma" is a nod to the Farscape episode of the same name (where they go back to current-day Earth) or the literal Latin translation of "solid earth" or the earth beneath our feet.
Well, if they use time travel to undo the Burn, which has been a topic of speculation for a while, I'll be really disappointed. Using time travel to undo rather than resolve conflicts is generally just bad, boring writing. It can occasionally be done well ("The Day of the Doctor," the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special, comes to mind), but that's extremely rare.
Meanwhile, Robert Meyer Burnett is a blowhard and it makes it hard for me to enjoy the episodes of Inglorious Treksperts when he's on.

He followed up with a tweet saying the Guardian of Forever is ambulatory and has a human persona in Discovery. He says it makes it Doctor Who.
The Guardian in TOS talked and had a personality. And surely it wasn't always a worn doen donut of stone shape. Let them change it if they wish. Nothing is sacred, nor should it be. It's a TV show.

The show or the Time Lord?
