Topic: The new Star Trek timeline needs a name.

[Nemesis]

Clearly Enterprise and Star Trek XI are in a different time line from those that came before but shows in that time line need a name to separate them from the ORIGINAL time line.  Any suggestions?

 ALTER-TREK   simple enough.

I'm really impressed by the use of "an alternate timeline". Seems to say it all without editorializing.

I like this, but perhaps it should be "Alter-Trek 1.0".  You know, just in case.   I know some will call it 2.0 because of Enterprise, but it would help log the alternate timelines (or perhaps 3.0 because of Mirror, Mirror).

I'd say, go for the obvious:  Abrahmiverse.

 Or even AUTrek.

 Cant wait to see the movie. But yea thats what I call it from how both the cons and pros of the movie have been discussed.

Careful or we'll end up with Crisis on Infinite Treks.

 What you mean careful. There already is an infinite amount of treks techinaclly speaking. We are only being shown a couple of those universe of TREK.

Every time I think of alternate universes, I think of "Parallels" a TNG episode.

This must be one of those itty bitty teeny weeny splinters way way way out from the main timeline.. the sort of thing that happens when a butterfly doesn't break wind in the forests of Sumatra when it was supposed to.

Dunno, guess we'll see how long this one lasts..

 Actually the best way to think about it is like with SG1 and the mirror they had that could travel between parallel universes.

Trek-Nero -->  he is the one who changes the whole dang thing so name it after him.

LOL< when I first glanced at that, I thought it read Trek-Zero, and I thought, hmm. IT does have less calories then the original Trek.

actually Spock is the one who did it, he opened the blackhole that they both went through.

Lame...

Although I am not so sure Enterprise is "Officiallly" not consdered cannon.

But - really -wtf have they done with this latest Star Trek - was it really necessary to do that!??

And ****SPOILER ALERT**** !


















Isn't it only logical that "future" spock has already left instructions for a FLEET of Federation Ships to take out NEMO at first sight (since he knows exactly where and when he will be) - or even more simply to just try and save Romulous (with HEAVY ESCORT) a few weeks earlier...

I mean - wouldn't that ALREADY have collapsed the alternative timeline - unless we assume Future Spock was painfully annhilated with a Disruptor before he accomplished this - but wouldn't Enterprises ship logs for Star Fleet already throw another plan into action??

(unless they're really really happy to be rid of those Arrogant, Green Blooded, Pointy Eared Bastid's!)

That's the problem with these time travel stories.  The just increase the implausibility of the story, which is already full of major plot wholes because of the laziness of some writers (especially when the motivation for the time travel isn't a reset switch for the hero).  You really have to craft something special and not have everyone's motivations and reasoning be there simbly because the writer needed it that way.  I still haven't seen the film, but plot wise, the more I hear the more I'm cringing.  On the plus side, the more I see of the Enterprise the more accepting I am of it (although I still think it's one of the ugliest Enterprises).  I mean the odd shape and big nacelles could be because that's the extent of the technology, and down the line they'll refine and streamline it to an Enterprise that we are all more familiar with.  That's the line I keep telling myself.

YOU STOLE MY CATCH PHRASE!!!  But since you're using it in the proper context, I'll forgive it.
