Here's what I don't understand. They went through the Singularity to the future because that was the only place the Control AI wouldn't be able to find them, right? Except Control was already destroyed before they went through the Singularity!
I've never even been able to start season 3 because I just can't get past the stupidity of not reversing the engines away from the Singularity the moment Control was eliminated as a threat.
That's the paradox tho.... if they go through, they fulfill the timeline of the future. If they don't, they break the timeline and now there is a new chance for control to reappear and restart.
The other thing is .... these are time paradoxes so whatever happens creates a new universe and we will never become aware of the alternate versions.
But you do have a great point .... I was so excited watching the finale that I didn't think of that.
There are plot holes everywhere that you could fly a star ship through .... but I still enjoyed it.
As others have said this isn’t the infinitely expanding manifold time of DC or MCU (pre Loki season 2).
SNW season two confirmed what we could infer from the premier of TNG when the date of WW3 had shifted back decades. It also happens to line up better with the understandings of modern physics.
The Prime Timeline in Star Trek is a resilient enormous river. It can be shifted a bit in its course, slip forwards and back.
BUT major events remain largely unchanged
