I like The Burn..... But I was also wondering this.

So by the 29th century? Yeah who the heck knows how they even think of crime in a non-linear manner. But that's probably perfectly normal from their perspective, even if it isn't for us.

Exactly. I don't see how we could possibly have the right to judge them.

Although it should be noted that in Braxton's case - and this is probably standard practice in 29th-century Starfleet - all versions of him would be temporally integrated prior to trial. So the Braxton who actually goes before the court will be one who HAS committed those crimes.

Exactly. I don't see how we could possibly have the right to judge them.

Knowing as we do that it's very possible to change the timeline in Star Trek, we can judge a society that punishes people for an avoidable future offense extremely easily. Given the right circumstances, you can get just about any one to break the law: They should all just arrest themselves.

So you like this Grim Dark future for the UFP / StarFleet that Discovery has jumped into?

Well... yeah. Starting in a dark place and striving for something better has kind of been a recurring theme of Discovery. We've seen the Federation at its best. That's not really all that interesting to me. I want to see what happens when you push those values right to their breaking point.

I mean Disco 3rd season is basically a remake of a Roddenberry idea about Star Trek's future. There's no real room to complain it's anti-Trek.

Yes, but it isn't warm and fuzzy and tidied up by the end.

Yeah, we're just beginning our journey.
