‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Renewed for Fifth and Final Season

[HotRod]

Next Generation altered the timeline. Pray it doesn't alter further...

TNG also can't have happened in the TOS Timeline, because in TOS World War 3 was in the 90s, not the 21st Century.

It's amazing the lengths people will go is ignore this while still harping on about 1996.

The musical episode as aired CAN'T have happened in the original TOS timeline because the scene with La'an crushing on Kirk wouldn't have happened as that hinged on a 21st century Eugenics Wars that wasn't part of the TOS timeline.

Yawn

Eugenics Wars and World War III aren't always considered to be the same conflict.

Eugenics Wars and World War III aren't always considered to be the same conflict.

It's a bit murky. Spock says the Eugenics Wars was the last of the World Wars.

Eugenics Wars and World War III aren't always considered to be the same conflict.

Spock calls the Eugenics War the last World War taking place in the mid-90s.

SPOCK: No such vessel listed. Records of that period are fragmentary, however. The mid=1990s was the era of your last so-called World War.
MCCOY: The Eugenics Wars.

So unless Spock was lying, TNG later retconned in another World War after it in the mid 2000s, meaning it's no longer the last world war.

Which then SNW made part of the same series of conflicts as the Eugenics Wars solving the issue.

Spock also says the augments were created via selective breeding (Kirk later says 'controlled genetics'), not modifying their genes, so that's another retcon made in later series.

Case in point.
