Nope.
This is perfect. Amazing. Did you make it? I have been making this argument for months now. It explains literally any so-called discrepancy. Makes too much sense on multiple levels.
I like the suggestion of the nx01 previously being the Dauntless. I had totally forgotten about that voyager episode.
Wow, we almost got, "There are four timelines!"
Good work, people!
Good work, people!
Actually there are five if the mirror universe counts.Wow, we almost got, "There are four timelines!"

Yes, but there's only two that are important to the franchise right now.
Or three if you want to count the Mirror Universe.
I'm giving this a like for the James Dixon line, not that I agree with the actual timelineNope.
LOL...
Wants to create a "UNIFIED TIMELINE" but now goes from one, to two, to three instead!

Yeah, some months ago. Thanks.
Once I'd posted it I did after-the-fact research (that's what we call Googling) and discovered that, of course, none of it was an original idea. I'm kind of glad I didn't know that before I did it.
I think it explains so much inconsistency because it parallels how and when the various shows actually came into existence. Enterprise, to hear the producers tell it, was very much the offspring of and inspired by the movie First Contact, for example. PIC's future is the only TV show that references the destruction of Romulus because, obviously, it's the only one created since the JJTrek movies set later in time than that event. And so on...
Enterprise and Trek 2009 are both reboots of a kind, whatever fig leaf the producers dressed them in. So of course all that follows from them are variants of the Trek universe as it was represented from 1964 to 2003, respectively, rather than being identical to them.
IOW, three timelines accurately represent three distinct periods/branches of production continuity.
A simpler and less nerdy way of putting it is just that the original Trek universe was changed and replaced by Enterprise and no producers have ever sought to restore the previous version. The reboot stands and is neglected or referenced on the whim of the producers.
Even simpler: no matter what objection someone has to a "canon error" in the last twenty years relative to the Original Roddenberry Trekverse, the answer is "It's different since Enterprise," and there is no rebuttal to that.

So yesterday confirmed that along with Pike, Spock and Number One, we're also getting Uhura, Chapel and M'Benga from TOS.
It will be fun seeing two new takes on Majel Barret roles. And possibly three if we get a computer voice. WORKING!
We're also getting another Soong character, which is interesting, I guess? Could go either way.

No. What we are getting is a character named Noonien-Singh, like Khan.
That makes more sense I knew I should have watched it more than once.
Sooo.... It looks like the Ortegas character was replaced by Hemmer?
Everybody else is accounted for and there's no hint of an Andorian/Aenar in the casting call.
Could be that they found a legally blind actor and thought he was to good not to use so they trashed Ortegas and created Hemmer in her place.
Honestly, really glad that we got another alien, especially an Andorian/Aenar.

I did a double, or triple take to be sure what I was seeing. Khan instead of Noonian.
Ah okay. Honestly I haven't seen the video yet, since I'm travelling and have to use my phone as a hot-spot right now.
But cool thar we get Ortega too!
I call it all a happy accident. The split-off points are logical and follow the narrative of each various show. It follows chronological order and production order. There are soooo many things that are contradicted after TNG, even in the Bermanverse. FC/Ent are a pair... inescapably tied together, with the time travel narrative being made clear within the first couple seasons of ENT. As great as S4 is in its own capsule, I was happier with ENT blazing a path down a whole new Universe. If you gave someone ENT (in a bubble), and said design a sequel in the modern day - DISCO would not be that far off.
It might be my own mental problem, but I am much happier going into SNW without the baggage of trying to connect it to TOS, and being able to enjoying the shout outs and easter eggs without nitpicking, since it IS a brand new timeline - and it makes me hopeful, instead of hateful, with thoughts of seeing Kirk, Scotty, etc down the line in the reimagined Universe. This 23rd is the one that leads into Daniels time, the problems with CONTROL, and later, the DISCO future. None of this has anything to do with the history expoused in S1 of TOS.
The multiverse is safe... for you and me. But what of Voyager? What of Voyager?
