JOHN CHO HITTING ON THE HELICOPTER GUY

KARL STORMING THROUGH THE HOSPITAL YELLING AT THE IGNORANT BUTTS THAT CALL THEMSELVES DOCTORS
I was thinking about this the other day, since they are, if not in the next flick, some future sequel going to bring in Khan and the Botany Bay will still be found in the Mutara sector and exiled on Ceti Alpha V despite the fact that they should be a full decade back in their journey. (I don’t give the writers of Michael Bay’s Transformers 1 & 2 the benefit of the doubt when it comes to new and creative ideas.)
The reboot timeline is identical to the original timeline until Nero’s ship appears in 2233. It’s a divergent timeline, not a completely new reality. This means that the original Kirk and crew were present in San Francisco in 1986, because this point was before the divergence occurred.
Theoretically, the Whale Probe may not encounter Earth in the new timeline, just as the SS Botany Bay may chance upon a Klingon ship or crash into a moon or drift for another two centuries before encountering another craft. If the new timeline has to repeat all the original’s events, the crew of the USS Apple Store Enterprise has to rescue Captain Christopher in 1969, too. And that ignores the Borg attempt to assimilate Earth in 2063 that was prevented by the crew of the Enterprise-E. Or any of the other Starfleet vessels that traveled to any point in time before 2233— and there had to be a significant amount, since Starfleet has a Department of Temporal Investigations.
If the reboot crew were to travel to 1986, they would probably encounter their older counterparts and probably change history again.
(If I thought that J.J. Abrams could manage a thoughtful, low-action drama, I would be interested in Berlinghoff Rasmussen jumping onto the new Enterprise and trying to figure out why everything is different or even attempting to right the timeline while nuKirk and company try to maintain the status quo. C’mon, I want to see Matt Frewer playing hero against the “villainous” crew of the Enterprise.)

Mike Nelson IS Captain Janeway.
“I’m responsible for the lives of 148 crew members aboard this ship, 144 of which we never see” is an accurate description of Voyager.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Tumblr.

I don’t even know what this is? some sort of alarm clock?
It’s a portable CD player shaped like the U.S.S. Defiant. Pushing the buttons played various starship sounds, the ship going into warp, firing phasers (the wrong type, which always bugged me) and torpedoes.
I still somehow managed to lose my virginity.

THANKS FOR THE SPOILERS
Oh, hey, the sex Worf and Dax have on Deep Space Nine is kinkier than the sex Worf has in the TNG porn.
YOU’RE WELCOME.
