Exactly. Just as Riker and Geordi were always in the Phoenix cockpit with Zefram Cochrane, even if history only records one person in the cockpit (or someone else not named Riker and LaForge) when the first warp flight happened.
What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

But you WERE there when Zefram Cochrane engaged the first warp drive, Geordi. You WERE there.

Meanwhile I think it is controversial to like Starfleet Academy because it seems that the entire internet is full of hate against it what I don't understand. I am a critical Trekkie and I don't like everything about Star Trek, f.e. I never liked DISCO, I don't hate it though, I don't hate anything about Star Trek. Anyway, so far I really enjoy watching Starfleet Academy, for me it is refreshing and exciting, something new, no Spock, no Kirk, no Picard, no Pike, new characters, a college story in space.
From a “hater”, I watched two episodes and generally found it dull. Finding Prodigy much more entertaining.
Just something that doesn’t interest me in the slightest.
But removing a living Edith from the past would've had the same effect as her death. The only reason it wasn't an option is because the writers decided it had to be a tragedy. But it's artificially set up to force that outcome.
Spock had spoken earlier about the "currents of time" that led people to converge at important points. I think the implication was that she would've been crossing that street anyway even if the circumstances had been different.
Anyway, I hate the term "predestination paradox," because it's not actually a paradox. A paradox is something that has no solution because it's self-contradictory. The grandfather paradox is a paradox because it's irresolvable -- if you kill your grandfather so you're never born, then you don't exist to kill your grandfather, so you are born, so you kill him and you aren't born, so you don't kill him and... etc. A predestination loop, where an event causes itself instead of preventing itself, is the opposite -- it's self-consistent because it produces its own outcome. We think of it as paradoxical because it contradicts our assumptions about how causality should work, but those assumptions cease to apply when time travel exists. A self-consistent time loop produces a single mathematically and physically consistent, permissible solution, and thus it does not constitute an actual paradox.
Same with Rogash.
Ain't it a bitch.
Short trip for him.
"You're making fun of me. Everyone knows Hiroshima was destroyed!"
I don't think it's that weird for it to be a situation where they have to fix the problem to make the door open, denying them the easy option of just taking the problem out through the door. It would've been much worse if they just didn't think of it.
We all know it really wouldn’t have. People all around would be different because they didn’t experience the tragedy.
For that matter, maybe Kirk, Spock, and McCoy had to go through it, too.
Since Edith's obituary was shown, that made it the only viable option to restore the timeline.
Her nearly falling down the stairs was another indication she had to die in a car accident. Kirk told Spock it wasn't time yet.
I can't speak for Hiroshima. It was a major city that hadn't been firebombed into ashes like Tokyo or Yokohama. It was a marshalling point for the Japanese Army and would have been destroyed in the coming invasion anyway.
But, in my opinion, Karma spoke for Nagasaki, another city which the Pentagon had marked to not be attacked like Hiroshima.
In the attack on Pearl Harbor, 'Jill' B5N bombers dropped torpedoes that had been specifically modified for the shallow waters there. Much testing and experimentation was done and IJN sources told post-war Allied officers they decided that if they couldn't make them work, they wouldn't attack Pearl Harbor. Normally aerial torpedoes will go deep because they'll dive at an angle into the water like you jumping into the pool before returning to the shallow depth needed to hit a ship's hull. These torpedoes helped trigger a barbaric war whose repercussions still resonate today.
These special torpedoes were modified at the Mitsubishi-Urakami Ordnance Works plant at Kawatana...which is in Nagasaki prefecture.

I really like it too, and I didn't think I would.
Yeah, I think it’s pretty good so far.
My wordBrings to mind some old caption contests entries
There are elements of SFA I really like
(political makeup of the galaxy recovering from The Burn, trying to get worlds back into the Federation)
(the music, the teen drama, the officers not being professional)
address the officers acting more professional (something DISCO was simply incapable of doing)
I said before SFA premiered that I just want it to be better than DISCO. I still want that to happen and have that hope.
(Side note: I just realized that what I like and dislike about SFA might be considered a spoiler, even though it's not specific events or such. To be on the safe side, I put them in spoiler tags.)

My wife asked me what the heck was the Captain's problem with the latest one. Captains have to inspire leadership, not reenact slumber party slouches. She said she wouldn't be able to serve under someone like that.
At this point, it's okay. I'll put it on TV, but the intense interest to follow ever second just isn't there for me with SFA.
Spoilers?
And the only reason the Guardian couldn't just tell them where McCoy went or send them to the same time to retrieve him was because the story had to be complicated. It's an ancient time portal. It should be more useable. Very forced.
