Or they're just throwing the "Kelvin had a specific point of divergence" concept out.
#StarTrek @startrek
"It is said to involve the creation of the Starfleet and humankind’s first contact with alien life."
If that's really what it is, for all I care just establish that Kelvin is an entire alternative universe and not an alternate timeline instead of annoying me by seeing how they frak around with the canon Star Trek: Enterprise already established.
#StarTrek #StarTrekEnterprise @startrek
Oh yes all that valuable canon of, "oh actually they met the Borg earlier and nobody recorded it. And "oh actually they met the ferengi earlier and nobody recorded it."
The specific point of divergence was shown in Star Trek 2009, otherwise it’s a real reboot and offside the television franchise.
I never pass up on an opportunity to share Simon Pegg's thoughts on the matter - he wrote one of the films, so I think his opinion should carry some weight:
Ok, I can buy that, but it means that it created a true parallel universe and not a branch in the Prime timeline.
This could be viewed as consistent with the Kelvin universe 24th century officer not being able to survive in the 32nd century Prime Universe.
Yeah, my simplified headcanon explanation is that the Kelvin universe was always there, and Spock and Nero happened to tunnel into it.
If you want to add the wrinkle that the red matter implosion somehow created it (which the original film seems to suggest)...well, it's more complicated, but it works, too.
@StillPaisleyCat I can't decide how to feel about it. I don't have much interest in a full-blown reboot. Nor am I much interested in seeing how this film might crap all over ENT. I guess we'll see. Or maybe we won't, considering Paramount's track record of late with getting Trek films off the ground. @startrek
