News Isaacs Would Like To Return To Discovery

[Qonundrum]

Nobody has to prove that the prime timeline wasn't altered.

They have to prove that it WAS.

And you can't do that, so.../threadover

Besides, if the prime timeline has been changed, why are they making Picard? Think about it.

Because continuity has been fast and loose, which DSC proved?

universe crossings pertinent to this: as far as I can tell. Not bringing up the ds9 ones or TNG's own tangental universe with Enterprise C. dates are not definitive but i believe close.


Prime Universe/Mirror Universe: 2256: Buran incident results in Prime and Mirror Lorca's to replace each other in their respective universes. Fate of Prime Lorca is unknown.
Prime Universe: 2257: Starfleet becomes aware that Defiant is going to be lost some time around 2268.
Kelvin Universe: sometime around 2256: Montgomery Scott begins transwarp beaming experiments, losing Admiral Archer's prized beagle. Possible universe incursion?
Prime Universe/Mirror Universe: 2257: Prime and Mirror USS Discovery replace each other in their respective universes. ISS Discovery is destroyed with all hands.
Mirror Universe 2257: Loss of the Charon.
Mirror Univrese 2257: Murder of Doctor Culber, a prime Universe individual within the Mirror Universe
Kelvin Universe 2258: multiple uses of red matter: destruction of Vulcan by artificially induced black hole, destruction of Narada by artificially induced black hole
Prime Universe 2258: Doctor Culber is rescued and returned to life from the spore network, possibly the strangest crossing yet.
Kelvin Universe 2258/Prime Universe 2387: The Narada crew and Ambassador Spock cross into/or create the tangental Kelvinverse by the events caused by the attack on the USS Kelvin. As previous manipulations of the past have not been shown to create such a wide-sweeping new universe, something special occured with this moment.

2256-2258 seems to be a very active time for hopping across the three main star trek universes. And those hops aren't always static in time. Discovery took a small leap forward when it returned to the Prime Universe. If Prime Lorca were go also find a way out, he might also be moving forward in time. He might also just be driven as a starfleet officer to do something about the doomed crew of NCC-1764 in a few more years, since so far no one has seemed to show a lot of concern about them.

Didn't the Nerada cross over before, at Kirk's birth? Then Spock later, around 2258.

...And everything was already a-changed by 2258. By which we mean "San Francisco architecture was changed" and "Starfleet uniforms and sidearms looked a bit different". Apart from those, little change: we didn't see TOS starships in Kelvinverse or Kelvin starships in TOS, which in practice allows both to peacefully coexist.

Tremendous changes to timelines tend to be limited to costuming and sometimes casting, really. Which goes well with the basic Kelvinverse premise of history wanting to unfold in a certain way regardless of time travel or the like.
