USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

[Jinn]

That's not what I meant: how does CBS not also determine what's in which timeline?

What Longinus says.

ETA: Although I'll admit that the term "in-universe" is a bit misleading as it refers to "in-canon" not "in-prime".

 

[Nerys Myk]

But if they show Picard with a mohawk then it's okay, right?

 

[Mad Jack Wolfe]

It's a reverse mohawk.

Wouldn't that tickle his brain?

 

[Longinus]

But if they show Picard with a mohawk then it's okay, right?

Sure.

But if we had a new flashback at Farpoint mission and Picard looked like this, then some people might quite reasonably conclude, that this is actually not happening in the same timeline than the original Farpoint mission.

 

[Mad Jack Wolfe]

Sure.

But if we had a new flashback at Farpoint mission and Picard looked like this, then some people might quite reasonably conclude, that this is actually not happening in the same timeline than the original Farpoint mission.

If they ever reboot Max Headroom, Sir Patrick can play Blank Reg of Big Time TV.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Sure.

But if we had a new flashback at Farpoint mission and Picard looked like this, then some people might quite reasonably conclude, that this is actually not happening in the same timeline than the original Farpoint mission.

What if they did a flashback and everyone looked 7 years older?

Now that we've peeled back several layers with the Mach 20, we're finally getting to the philosophically deep areas.

Picard's French, not Belgian.

NOT CANON!

 

[Nerys Myk]

Picard's French, not Belgian.

NOT CANON!

Thought he was from York.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Wouldn't that tickle his brain?

No they rerouted it through the aft EPS conduits

 

[Belz...]

Because that is an in-universe issue. CBS can say that Picard has a mohawk, but on screen we can clearly see that he is bald, and that's that. It is a death of an author situation.

If they re-cast him with a mohawk, then that's what it is. Silly, sure, but still true.

 

[Mad Jack Wolfe]

Thought he was from York.

No they rerouted it through the aft EPS conduits

They rerouted York through an EPS conduit? That explains a few things.

 

[Jinn]

If they re-cast him with a mohawk, then that's what it is. Silly, sure, but still true.

True as in canon; yes. True as in prime; not necessarily.

 

[Nerys Myk]

They rerouted York through an EPS conduit? That explains a few things.

Aye.

 

[Nerys Myk]

True as in canon; yes. True as in prime; not necessarily.

Kelvinverse Picard is a punk.

 

[Belz...]

True as in canon; yes. True as in prime; not necessarily.

Why do they have the power to determine what's canon but not what's in which timeline? Star Trek has contradicted itself time and time again and I've not heard fans claim that this indicated a new timeline; rather, they've contorted themselves into knots trying to show that it was in fact not contradictory, to ridiculous degrees.

 

[Groppler Zorn]

Thought he was from York.

Huddersfield I think

 

[Nerys Myk]

I'm in support of the R-niverse. Screw that Tiberius crap.

 

[fireproof78]

I'm in support of the R-niverse. Screw that Tiberius crap.

Agreed. Also, no more red or green uniforms!

 

[Groppler Zorn]

Agreed. Also, no more red or green uniforms!

Without red uniforms Pike wouldn’t be able to tell who lives... and who dies...
