Spoilers New Picard TV Series and Litverse Continuity (may contain TV show spoilers)

[captainmkb]

Well, that is one interpretation of the term.

thanks for saying so

 

[captainmkb]

Very probable and I would have liked to have seen that episode. I would have added a two part opener to the series and an epilogue.

13 rather than 10.

i once messaged someone a full 26-episode season synopsis based on all the episodes they didnt make. where's the episode of them playing cat-and-mouse with the Romulan commander of the antique bird-of-prey at Vashti

rest assured, Riker warping out with 200+ ships without even taking any time to investigate medical relief for a crashed cube-shaped ship or do a scientific analysis of the recently opened-and-closed HOLE IN THE UNIVERSE PORTAL TO THE TECH CONTINUUM is also on the list of things that maybe someone might've dramatized or at least taken into account.

And just like that, Coda became pointless. Canonical Trek now has fundamental differences with the Litverse. Making it a split a handful of years in the past completely defeated the purpose of providing an explanation for any differences in the first place.

Having now seen "Farewell," I'm honestly not sure what you're referring to.

Spoiler: Farewell

Is it the revelation that the Travelers are the unseen force behind Gary Seven and Tallinn? If so, I don't at all agree that that in anyway invalidates Coda. All that revelation means is that either the "supervisors" like Tallinn only know the Travelers as the Aegis, or that the Aegis themselves work for the Travelers and don't disclose that fact to their subordinates. Either way, I don't think there's a contradiction.

I think the change they are referring to is:

honestly, it was pretty standard for genre shows in the sixties or seventies to throw in one or two pieces of advanced sci-fi tech without postulating any radical changes to history, just so you could have the occasional evil computer, laser death-ray, killer robot, and so on. But the conceit was always that this was set in "our" present-day, where secret agents and superheroes occasionally ran into tech that edged into sci-fi territory.

"Assignment: Earth" is very much a product of the sixties spy-fi boom: Our Man Flint, The Avengers, The Man from UNCLE, etc. and should perhaps be viewed in that context.

So you're telling me there were no killer robots or laser death rays in the 60s and 70s?

I maintain Traveler Wesley rebuilt/recreated the Lit verse.

Why?

Because we're getting a new VOY book and that is clearly blah blah blah why it still exists.



That and T'Ryssa Chen IS IMMORTAL.

Not sure if serious about another Voyager book

Alas no, it was a mistake on my part.

I'm sorry to give you hope, Hawkeye.

 

[F. King Daniel]

It's okay

IDW has a new Star Trek: Picard mini-series coming out -- Star Trek: Picard--Stargazer.

(W) Mike Johnson (A/CA) Angel Hernandez
Embark on a never-before-seen journey set between seasons two and three of the Paramount+ hit series Star Trek: Picard! When the U.S.S. Stargazer goes missing near a planet from his past, Admiral Jean Luc-Picard enlists Seven's help to unravel the mystery and save the Stargazer crew!

Do we know who specifically on the Star Trek: Picard team named Elnor? The Memory Alpha page only cites Michael Chabon as explaining Elnor's name to be inspired by Elvish words for 'star' and 'trek'. Is it just an incredible coincidence that Kirsten Beyer previously wrote Doctor El'nor Sal in Star Trek: Voyager novels?

Whoever it was, was probably a Beatles fan. Linky

 

[Markonian]

With the First Splinter timeline and its events struck from history, do the Shatnerverse and Myriad Universes continuities still exist?

 

[Tuskin38]

Myriad Universes continuities still exist?

Well the Myriad Universe stories were alternate universes, so why would they cease?

Well, it would depend on whether they were destroyed by the Devidians before the First Splinter TImeline heroes were able to stop them. But there's no direct evidence the Devidians got to those timelines, so I think it's fine to assume they're still out there, timelining away and having nifty adventures happening in them.

fair enough.

 

[Markonian]

Thanks. Thing is, we cannot tell which timelines are "regular" alternate timelines and which ones are splinter timelines created in First Contact. All the splinters are gone, all the rest are fine.

More likely a Tolkien fan. "Elnor" means "Star Trek" in Tolkien's elvish language.

Given one of the destroyed “splinter” timelines was seemingly identical to the TV timeline up through season one of Picard, I’m not sure if it’s a practical distinction. If a splinter timeline could develop identically to a prime timeline, it seems the reverse would almost certainly happen, as well, and no one would know the difference unless you went and did an audit with crazy mirror-universe super-tech.

Reminds me a little of my joke about the times Stargate SG-1 changed the past in a way that didn’t become relevant until just before the time-travel adventure that led to them changing the past. So, what you do is watch the show all the way up to the second-to-last scene in “Moebius,” pause, watch the show all over again from the beginning, except this time, it’s the adventures of the new SG-1 in the alternated timeline, stop just before the last scene in “Threads,” and then continue where you left off on “Moebius,” so you can be sure you saw all the things that happened in both timelines.

So, yeah, probably, both are true. The Myriad Universes timelines were destroyed by the Devidians, and they also weren’t, because there are apparently a lot of spare identical timelines floating around out there.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ Indeed. (Pardon the pun. )

In an infinite multiverse, there must also be infinite copies of the same timeline in that multiverse.

So ONE First Splinter timeline was destroyed, but there must also be others.

Easy peasy.
