Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

Those are alternate timelines but not timelines that were altered by time travel. Though it is possible their was a divergent point at some point but that is unknown.
 
Me to though ironically it is the most realistic outcome I I think if time travel was real due to the grandfather paradox.
 
There are no rules to fictional time travel. Abrams thought it through just fine, and the movie goes along with his intent.
For the Kelvin films, Orci and Kurtzman had a different take on time travel than Pegg's take (O&K were "one point, everything was the same until that point" and P was "wibbly, wobbly, lots of time travel so everything is different"). It wasn't until later (the Spock Reflections?) comics that the IDW writers went with Pegg's take.

Pegg only went the "everything is different" route in response to complaints about Kelvin Sulu being gay when Prime Sulu expressed interest in women in TAS and in Ilia in TMP. The irony being it wasn't necessary because Sulu was probably a genetically different person between universes having been born after 2233, but maybe Pegg didn't want to go on record saying his Sulu was a different Sulu (not that what he said was much better and it was basically the same thing anyway)

And everyone in the conversation apparently forgot bisexuality is a thing.
 
I think that is because Abrams didn't fully think through what impact a time travel change would have on a universe were so much time travel is already in play. You can literally change the past by changing something in the future.

Well you got me curious.... How can I change the past by changing things in the future?

Lets say you travel to the future from the 24th century and kill Daniels before he can travel to the past and meet Archer. Archer never meets Daniels and thus the future changes from what we saw. The issue is this means the future now doesn't have someone to send to the future to kill Daniels but it's possible that since the future is changed Daniels is no longer born in this new timeline and thus your now in a completely new timeline that stats from the moment that Archer doesn't meet Daniels.

Of course the funny thing is the Voyager crew was once sent back to the big bang so basically any time travel would change how even the big bang happened in theory.
