I preferred the Prime timeline.

People get substitutes for babies, when babies are difficult to find.

Pets.

The concept of a robot child (that is not for sex) is not new in fiction.
 
There's also his getting all fumbly around Ilia, but I think that was a non-theatrical scene, so its "canon" status is debatable.
 
How about the Butterfly Effect? If it works for all the other differences that happened from 2233 on, why not Kelvin Sulu is gay and Prime Sulu is straight?

I understand and appreciate what they were trying to do in Beyond, even though it was "blink and you'll miss it". But I always read Prime Sulu as straight and George Takei has said that's the way he played him.
 
Sulu was 4 when the kelvin was destroyed.

The building blocks of his personality, saving for some extreme trauma, was pretty my locked in.

I thought Sulu was born in 2237 not 2229. The Okuda Chronology has 2237. Nothing to contradict it as of yet. And George Takei was born in 1937. If you added 300 years to that, it would be 2237. Which is probably where they got the date from.

So I think my solution works.
 
Oops.

IRL John is 8 years older than Chris, so what you're saying doesn't make any sense either unless John Cho is the world's greatest actor.

I'm going by the Okuda Chronology. I also added an explanation for where they probably got the date from. Mike Okuda couldn't have known about the Kelvin Films in 1993, when the Star Trek Chronology was published, unless he has some hidden powers we don't know about. ;)
