Alternate Universes in TOS

[BK613]

He uses "close" instead of "almost" but yeah pretty much.

I've heard that version as well, but without the nukes part...

If humanity is a hive species, a social supercreature that consumes and digests pre-vomited honey of entertainment to keep itself alive then we have eaten these separate realities so many times that they have been sapped of whatever form they once had and can no longer be recognized as anything other than these isolate cosmic states. I must congratulation the original poster, who indeed may, in these troublesome realities BE the original poster of all, for bringing this out into the open, for tearing the curtain on the most holy of canon asunder and revealing that inside of this dark recess, this terra incognito were the friends we made along the way.

This is the most literate, most entertaining troll I have ever read in my life.

My daughter says, "I want to shake your hand."

I know this is a Star Trek message board...and the point is to have fun discussiing the show...but....


If I had a nickel for every time I'm tempted to say "It's only a TV show" after reading a post...well...you know the rest of that story.

I know the feeling, and I also know that overthinking is a feature not a bug.

But, having always enjoyed researching history as a hobby I will often wonder how many people would cry "canon violation" when they read different historical accounts of the same period that don't line up

It's one timeline, and every adventure happened. The devil is in the details, though, and for each new adventure the exact sequence and appearance of each previous adventure may be a little different than was recorded at the time.

Headache-inducing thread . . . must . . . power . . . through

I forget what episode it was in but what about the scene where the audio of Chekov's scream in no way shape or form matches the visual of his mouth movement? The only conclusion is that the audio occurs in a different universe than the visual.

And what about when in one shot Kirk's hair is parted on the other side. The only possible conclusion is that the shot takes place in a different reality than all the other shots in the episode.

Obviously, it takes place in the Mirror Universe.

 

[The Old Mixer]

Parts of the typical fight scene must take place in a different universe from the rest of the same scene, because obvious stunt doubles.

 

[gottacook]

This offers perhaps the least implausible of all explanations for why Shatner pronounces Kyle as "Cowell" in "The Immunity Syndrome"...

...and I suppose that in the universe of "Court Martial," "one to the fourth power" actually means something.

Jack Lord never needed one...he had his hair to protect him.

That’s how we rate the Saffer-Simpson scale for hurricanes,

PhD level bullshit cut for space

This is the finest piece of insane metaphysical philosophy I've read since The Illuminatus Trilogy by the esteemed Mssrs. Shea and Wilson. Indeed, your pedagogical legerdemain is something to be held up for the same deep contemplation as the works of Kierkegaard, Gurdjieff, and The Monkees. I salute you!

 

[Commander Troi]

Heck, real life has enough apparent discrepancies that some days seem like they might be happening in another universe.

Given how many of my memories seem to have never happened (according to my mom), or I remember them incorrectly (according to my husband), or that I remember one way one moment and differently the next, I suspect this is true and we simply ascribe such discrepancies to deja vu, old age, or temporal dynamics.

thank you very much

 

[publiusr]

The idea is that there is no way all these adventures happen to the same crew without Q behind it. Anthologies are better at that sort of thing. So Trek is the greatest hits of crews of the multiverse…I feel ya’

 

[Hofner]

I know the Andy Griffith Show exists in at least two different universes where in one, Barney does a decent job of harmonizing with Andy and in the other, he can't sing worth a darn
