The show does not occur in the Kelvin Universe. There's no connection that way, nor do any of the events that happen in the Kelvin films impact this series beyond Spock Prime's telling of the supernova. There is absolutely a connection as part of it is the fallout of the Hobus supernova and whatever happened to the Romulans.
So there's a connection between Star Trek Picard and the movie Star Trek? Because apparently a poster was claiming that I didn't get it right in my first post which I in return questioned the poster!
The connection is the supernova and events Spock Prime showed Jim in the mind-meld sequence. That all occurs between Nemesis and Picard.
It depends on how you define connection. Pedantic, but technically the Countdown comic and the supernova do not occur in the Kelvin universe.
LOL!!! So, there's a connection between Star Trek Picard and the movie Star Trek where the Spock Prime, NOT FROM TOS, mind melded with Kirk of the supernova and events?
As I said, it depends on how one defines connection. Perhaps the poster assumed that connection meant occurred. It sounds like a miscommunication more than anything else. Certainly not worth a fuss...
To put this in Back to the Future terms: Pretend 2387 is 2015. In "2015", Nero went back in time. Pretend 2233 is 1955. Nero/Biff created an Alternate Timeline. At some point after the alternate "1955", Nero destroyed the alternate Vulcan. Romulus was destroyed in the "real" 2387 (just go with it). Vulcan was destroyed in the "alternate" 2258. In the "real" 2399, Romulus was destroyed and Vulcan is still around.
I think it would be best not to assume and allow the poster to speak for himself, since he made the response to me originally and I in returned responded.
They're the Star Trek Online uniforms, which is set just after 2400. The series starts in 2399, we've seen All Good Things commbadges and now early versions of the games uniform design, it has nothing to do with the Kelvin universe.
It is an open forum and I am offering a different POV. Certainly this is not one that requires ire being raised, especially if it was a miscommunication.
They're asking if there is a connection to the movie, not the universe. The destruction of Romulus comes from the movie, so that is a connection.
Of course you are but he seems to add things which doesn't dispute my original post which from what we've seen is obvious there's a connection between Star Trek Picard and the movie Star Trek.
