Yeah, it's not that at all.
Could Star Trek be Re-rebooted?
- Thread starter Toril Toran
- Start date
I can only speak for what I watched.
WHY?
I was thinking that if the Kelvin timeline was erased, then the original TOS timeline could be restored.
Perhaps then, they could slowly branch off into an alternate timeline, where they could slowly explore new places, and ideas, injecting a fresh new take on the franchise.
Kind of like what SNW is doing now.
Maybe Section 31 could be behind the shift in the timeline??

The original TOS timeline still exists.
Nothing's stopping them from doing anything set in a new timeline now, if they so wished.
What about focusing on the crew of a different starship not named Enterprise for a change? Starfleet has a bunch of them with names like Yorktown, Warspite, & Richelieu. What about new characters without the backstory?
We've had shows about the Defiant, Voyager, Discovery, Sirena, Titan-A, Cerritos, Protostar, and Voyager-A so it's not completely unheard of to have a Trek series not set on an Enterprise.
If the series continues for more decades there will probably be a soft reboot, similar to the redating of the Eugenics Wars, as real life timelines start clashing with established Trek events like WW3 (I REALLY hope that real life contradicts this one) and First Contact.
They could just not talk about WW3 and First Contact anymore. They don't really come up that much as it is.
They did that in the 80s.
Shouldn't become a franchise with too many parallel realities /timelines either imho. I don't need it to become a Sliders ripoff.
(Hmmm..... "Sliders ...... in spaaaaaaaace!")
The USS Falcon with Anthony Ingruber as the captain and a Caitian called Meowbacca as the First Officer.
^ now I'm wondering, how close could they get without being charged with plagiarism or infringement or whatever ? 
Well, the series isn't named The Tales of the Enterprise on her Star Trek the last time I checked, but it sure has seemed that way.
IMO, some of the more fascinating TOS episodes were the ones which featured other Constitution class starships cruising the stars and keeping the peace in their space frigates like Captain Horatio Hornblower meets Zap Branigan. Imagine Andorian Drs or Tellarite psychs or a Betazed #1 on the Intrepid. Paramount is wasting an opportunity to get increased interest in an established franchise by
To Boldly Go Where No Canon Has Gone Before...
Perhaps it's time to move on? I'm kinda getting Kirked-out already with how much he's already been on SNW. I hope he's not gonna be pushed in our faces over and over for the nest 26 eps.

I'm sure he will.
So you think The Ultimate Computer is the most fascinating TOS episode? That's the only one that actually shows other Constitution class ships "cruising the stars." The other TOS episodes to show other Constitutions besides the Enterprise shows them as abandoned drifting hulks.
To me, there would be a solid why - to bring 2009 and its movies into the Prime Universe fold, as in, fixing the timeline, like every other time time travel messed up and rewrote the timeline, and to give the Kelvin Universe an ending, and allow those actors to start portraying their Prime Universe counterparts.
I'm okay with this never happening, but would want on screen proof that Spock just red mattered his way into a pre-existing Alternate Universe, that was never part of the Prime Universe at all.
Just looking for consistency in the way things have been portrayed in the past.
The Kelvin timeline doesn't need to be fixed, because it's a parallel universe coexisting alongside the Prime universe. Indeed, DSC makes it quite clear that it still existed up until at least its 24th century, as Yor came from that timeline.
The entire point of the Abrams films was to establish a changed timeline from 2233 onwards so that they could tell their own stories without having to be restrained by 'canon.' What would be the point of Spock going back in time to some other pre-existing timeline? If he was going to do that, then there wouldn't have been a need for the time travel at all.
There has never been consistency with time travel in Star Trek.
