Now I really wish they'd gone with the Romulans instead.
So - Which Incident?
- Thread starter Search4
- Start date
Memory Alpha and Google are both down?
Dialogue in the premiere refers to the location as "the Human-Vulcan colony of Doctari Alpha", if I remember correctly. Which ties in nicely with how Burnham winds up in Sarek's care.
Nope. And neither one of them (or the episode itself for that matter) mentions anything about a war. So I'll ask again: What war?
All of which is spoken in the film by Wil Wheaton.
(And actually we were supposed to have an entire scene in Romulan, it's where Ayel comes in and addresses Nero as prod. But they redubbed the rest of the scene so it's in English.)
Perhaps it has something to do with the Albino, as postulated on this other thread dealing with the same topic:

I find it hard to believe that the albino Klingon in DSC has anything remotely to do with a character in one episode of a show shown 20 years ago whose only actual quality or distinction was that he was an albino.
My guess would be that the Treaty of Armens between the UFP and The Sheliak was signed in 2255 (TNG: "The Ensigns of Command")
The Battle of Donatu V in 2245.
Orion Pirates come to mind.
...But they hadn't been able to pin down a single crime on them before TAS. So we could just as well say Ferengi.
This is chiefly a concern if somebody decides to do a spinoff about the 2230s or the 2190s. A baddie appearing and then disappearing would be standard Trek fare, though. It's just that it would be cool to decide on one now already, so that the makers of that spinoff would have their work cut out for them. In-universe, our DSC heroes would still remember the previous baddies, so failing to mention them would be a failing indeed.

So, did the Vulcans annex, I mean "protect and sponsor", the war-ravaged, primitive Earth as a buffer zone between them and the nearby (4 days away!) Klingon Empire?
But then the Klingons had a cultural revolution (Judgment Day), then got themselves mixed up in a time war with the Suliban and Tholians (Broken Bow), then splintered into 24 rival parts for a hundred years (Discovery). Maybe the Vulcan Intelligence Agency has been keeping them in disarray?
Starfleet had a massive genocidal war against the Suliban-Xindi alliance.
That's always been my assumption, yes.
I firmly believe that the Vulcans must have helped Earth in the cleanup and rebuilding after World War III - it's the only explanation I can find as to how Earth recovered so quickly, from a global thermonuclear war no less, in less than a hundred years.
It would also explain Archer's assertion that Vulcan intentionally restricted Earth's technology and expansion in the decades after the war. Vulcan would want payment for services rendered, as it were.
It couldn't have been that big of a war. There were only 600 million dead out of a population of probably 8 billion. It also seemed like recovery was already in progress as Cochrane talked about taking trains.
It's World War III - how could it not be?
You'd have to ask the writers. They're the ones that came up with a nuclear war that only killed ("only") six hundred million people. And seemingly left a lot of cities mostly intact.
Names are cheap, including big ones. And isn't Einstein/Oppenheimer/whoever misattributed with that bit about WWIV being fought with flint axes? Possibly in Trek a couple of big ones intervened to reduce the destructive potential of the belligerents of WWIII.
Yet what we know of Trek's WWIII, the 2050s event, is that it involved nuclear winters as per "A Matter of Time", and therefore probably also a fallout problem, either with or without radioactives. Granted, "Omega Glory" sort of states Earth avoided the big confrontation between Commies and Yankees, but that just means the belligerents in the actual WWIII were different and the war still did happen, quite possibly along the lines of projected US/USSR ones. Just add SDI and you get the survival of San Francisco alongside the perishing of hundreds of millions in blasts that level the really big cities in China, Africa, India or South America, because those didn't have Star Wars up in time.
