Fringe was weird in that it used a few Trek concepts and JJ Abrams says all his stuff takes place in the same universe, and then Star Trek Beyond just outright used Fringe's "amber" like it was no big deal.
Ron Moore gave an interview where he said that in the For All Mankind timeline, Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan is the first Star Trek movie, and occurs in 1983 instead of 1982.
Does For All Mankind ever feature clips from non-existent TV and film?
Wow, that is an amazing story!
The context is that each season starts with a news reel that shows how some events either did or didn’t track with “our” history. I believe Moore was asked about a blurb during one of the newsreels that mentions Wrath of Khan being a big movie but in the wrong year.
It's a background plot point in some episode in Season 2 that Ed wants to go see it and Karen spoils it for him that Spock dies and then Ron said even though it's 1983 and a different timeline he just felt it was the same film because he loves it so much and didn't want it butterflied out.
Was TSFS also released later, or did Spock stay dead? And did Kes the Ocampa still go Fury (which is far worse!)?
