@CivilisationEx - good video, though I don't see any real proof in Trek WW3 happened in any meaningful way from 2026, unless things like the Ares IV Mars mission got disrupted by funding, or something, and other later events. Maybe best to see it as a 'cold war' for most of the following 25 years...? The date came from an obscure data screen in ST: Enterprise, that said.

In 2387, a supernova caught the Romulan Star Empire by complete surprise, blowing up their homeworld, because unlike the Federation, Romulans don't have astronomers, and couldn't figure out that their star was at the end of its life, and they were not capable of evacuating themselves. Afterall, they are just a Star Empire, that controls a huge chunk of the Beta Quadrant and parts of the Alpha Quadrant, that's all. Makes perfect sense.

A Brief Note on Star Trek Canon: I know many of you don't like Discovery and Picard, and personally I agree that the shows are disappointing and poorly written. But at the same time I can't simply say they don't count as canon. As far Alpha Canon is concerned, it applies to all shows and movies. Including the JJ Abrams movies, Discovery and Picard. In order to avoid stumbling over the inaccuracies and changes made by newer Trek, this channel will avoid talking about them in detail, and only mention them when absolutely necessary. I will also be exclusively basing my drawing on classic Star Trek (TNG-ENT). So just to be clear, the following IS considered Alpha Canon on this Channel The Original Series The Animated Series The Next Generation Deep Space Nine Voyager Enterprise The Motion Picture The Wrath of Khan The Search for Spock The Voyage Home The Final Frontier The Undiscovered Country Generations First Contact Insurrection Nemesis KELVIN TIMELINE - Alternate Universe Star Trek Into Darkness Beyond Discovery Picard

[@tamaraprentice9280]

While I like enterprise,forgive us rick and brannon!,technically since they used repeated time travel in the show,effectively altering the time line shown in TOS,it should in fact exist in ANOTHER time line as the entire franchise has the multiverse theory at it's core as shown in repeated episodes over decades.

[@anto-mac]

@@tamaraprentice9280 you like the show Picard how I'd love to no

[@jameskellett2699]

I think Picard had a very big missed opportunity to bring back an old enemy that would have made a lot of sense. When watching the first few episodes and hearing of the attack on Utopia Planetia as well as Bruce's attempt at creating his own Soong type android, I thought what if he didn't just use B4 as a template. The theory was that he attempted to bring Data back using B4 but when he learned that B4 couldn't handle Data's complex programming and was a bad template for his androids he began looking for something else. It was then he decided to search for the only other soong type android in existence, Lore. When he found Lore he was dismantled but his positronic brain was still fully intact. He took Lore back to the Dastrom institute and began to run several analysis on him. He discovered how to make his own version of the positronic brain but couldn't figure out the programming. It was then that he took the risk in copying Lore's programming and altering it to try and remove the violent and homicidal areas of Lore's program. This seemed to work and he began mass production of the synths using the same altered program. Unknown to Bruce the programming wasn't completely altered and remnants of Lore remained, spread across every synth Bruce created. During the evacuation of Romulus the programming that had been hidden inside the synths was now awakened, causing them to attack Utopia Planetia. Bruce kept the fact he used Lore a secret and fled with Lore's programming in an attempt to discover what went wrong. When Picard finally arrives on the synth world he encounters Lore who has been reassembled and imitates Data until Picard notices something wrong, causing Lore to reveal himself. He layed down his plan for conquest, insert classic villain plot here, and it's up to Picard and his team to stop him which they do. This could either go one of 2 ways, the first is the boring route where Lore is destroyed for good this time and everyone is cheary, or the second where he escapes and returns in a later season. Personally I would have preferred this over what we got in the real season, it would have been unexpected and having Brent Spiner return in a role I thought was brilliant would have just been amazing.

[@christophercole8114]

The Romulans were far from helpless or hopeless in "Star Trek: Picard", having the ability to assemble a fleet of 218 ships. Plus, the Romulans put an end to their own rescue by putting into motion the plan to destroy Mars, Utopia Planetia, and seeing that Federation lives were lost and property destroyed. Despite the moral outrage of Picard, Starfleet and the Federation were right to put an end to their rescue efforts, and ban synthetics. There was already precedent for that in how genetic engineering was banned, and those who were found to be genetically altered (with the exception of Julian Bashir) were kept from fully participating in the Federation. And it isn't as though Picard was unaware that, with the "flip of a switch" Data himself could be compromised and put himself, his crew, and the Enterprise in danger. So, I don't buy that the Romulans were significantly weakened, and the agenda that "Picard" tried to push falls apart on critical analysis. Although the premise that he's brooding and bitter over how the Federation has changed (due to war with the Borg and the Dominion) was not bad. What they did with it was.

[@jesusstaccato8448]

Banning genetically engineered people from being full citizens is a form of apartheid, and I don't know why you'd use it as an example to support the equally fascist measure of banning synthetic lifeforms. The issue with the show Picard is that it engineers this cartoonishly evil action in order to use it as a punching bag for ideological preaching.

[@Mephilis78]

They didn't need a fucking rescue. JJ's shitty writing sent the whole franchise into a tale spin of nonsense. The Romulan star empire had vast fleets full of ships so massive they could almost fit a galaxy class explorer inside them. The empire was made of hundreds, maybe even thousands of planets. All of this equates to a person who admitted that he didn't like Star Trek deliberately harming the franchise with shoehorned nonsense narratives. People need to quit trying to make up explanations for bad writing that the writers themselves decided to leave out. Quit making excuses for these people. If you buy a chair from Walmart and if falls apart as soon as you get home, do try and rationalize why it was so shitty? No, you throw it out and find somewhere else to buy a chair.

[@chrissonofpear1384]

@@Mephilis78 Well, it makes more sense if the catastrophe happens suddenly, and there's paranoia over if the claims are true. Having the evacuation effort last SIX years, on the otherhand, throws most of that under the bus. And yes, largely for short-cut, shock writing, and yes, a bit hack writing, too.

[@Mephilis78]

@@chrissonofpear1384 this is an issue for me. There's no way the energy and matter ejected by a supernova can exceed the speed of light. I'm not exactly sure what I said that you are responding to, but I also have a problem with them not keeping the story straight. I'm assuming that's what you are responding to. Even if it did magically become the Romulan star, like in Picard, it would take 3 days, assuming the planet is the same distance from it's sun as earth... longer if it was further. I can't see something closer being habitable (considering that romulans have always appeared comfortable withthe temperature on federation ships/stations). Imho the JJ verse should be scrapped in both Trek and Star Wars.

[@chrissonofpear1384]

If we dealt with every impossible thing from TNG, the older movies and Voyager, we'd be a long time indeed. When subspace exists, at least some leeway can be allowed. But yes, certainly the story has not been kept pretty straight. I prefer the ST: Online take on it, generally, if we must be stuck with it.

You know star trek is cool and all but have you ever thought 🤔 of a storyline that was a prequel to star trek? Like most people tend to forget that humanity came together only AFTER the bombs fell and even then a hundred- two hundred years of anarchy followed before FTL tech was invented and first contact, it would be pretty cool if we had some characters from that time periods and followed their own story of survival the best part is that you can make it all up, there's some parts of star trek canon that goes back in time that far but for the most part it rarely touches on the subject. So go nuts it be interesting to see what kind of backward techno states are standing and how petty kingdoms of theocrats would rule the lands of America in darkness and paranoia grasping at superstition to support their hierarchy and condemn their enemies.

[@ericLpereira1989]

​ @Billy Bones ​ Meant the engineered virus. I see it as kind of not quite in line with Federation tatics in general. Too "inhumane" . I recall similar plans with the borg, through Hugh, but on the ocasion they were also considered "inhumane" in quite a way. Guinan calls him a person and Picard angrily says "It's is not a person, dammit! It's a borg". Even so, just by recognizing Hugh as a person was enough to change all the plans of infection. And, back to the Dominion, there was also the not quite standard alying methods with the romulans. Through murder and deception. Even though in this case it was not through the decisions of starfleet command, but Sisko's and Garek's. I wonder if it was ever discovered later. I believe section 31 would be pretty proud 😆

Apparently all wars in the future are fought between fleets of spaceships. The battle of Cheron is mentioned. What happened after the enemy fleet was defeated? No land forces appear to be used at all. The enemies planets are never bombarded, invaded and occupied. Does the Federation maintain a standing army at all? Something along the lines of the Colonial Marines in Alien. Proper soldiers. How does the Federation defend the planets within its territory from invasion? The real dark side of interplanetary war is never shown. Death, destruction and suffering doesn't exist in Star Trek wars. Just flashy star ships shooting phasors and photon torpedoes at each other.

[@CivilizationEx]

There are ground wars in Star Trek, but since the shows take place in space most of what they show are space battles because that is where the main characters are. But there are other forms of combat, Federation planets have armies and navies. For awhile Earth maintained marines, but later Starfleet officers were trained to fight ground wars and they took over as the main fighting force in space and land. Examples of ground fighting can be seen in all the shows but one of the stand out episodes is from DS9, called the Battle of AR 558. Also the Klingons are primarily known for their ferocity in hand to hand combat.

Building a space fleet presumably takes entire solar systems worth of energy and raw materials. Once it is destroyed, victory has already been achieved. It seems Star Trek follows Mahanian naval theory.

"A new world economy formed, with currency eliminated in favor of a egalitarian system where everyone's needs are met by the government." bro I am dying, that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard 😂😂😂. Nothing against Civ Ex but it seems like some of the writers for Star Trek don't have a good grasp on how economics works.

[@jet3386]

They did say that all the material needs are literally met and so abundant to oblivion that you can just get it and be on your way.

[@appropinquo3236]

@JET I know my point is that its kinda dumb that they decided to make the federation communist since apparently communism is considered a 'sci-fi' concept to them, but if it works within the confines of the universe then its whatever.

[@nohbuddy1]

Because with technology they got rid of wants you don't need an economy based on greed

[@attiepollard7847]

This is why I like Babylon 5 because they have a credit economy which is kind of good because humans are going to want needs

[@alonenjersey]

@@attiepollard7847 I've always said the Earth Economy from Babylon 5 was more realistic than the one spoken of in the Star trek saga.

I think a little bit of lite socialism makes sense if you unite the whole entire planet together with Private industry as a need for the masses

[@typhonplume9374]

If the Battle of the Binary Stars is from Discovery, that would be part of the Kelvin timeline and not the one most folks view as the main timeline, so not sure if that applies to this video which seems to focus on the main timeline.

[@toasted2530]

No. You cant just throw whatever shows u dont like into a different timeline. Discovery is in the main timeline. Deal with it.

[@Spino2Earth]

I don't think Discovery is in the Kelvin universe, Discovery have too much different technology.

[@stirfried101]

The Kelvin timeline only breaks off when the Kelvin is destroyed, everything before that is technically the same timeline

[@Spino2Earth]

@@stirfried101 Except for the way the Federation ships look.

[@chrissonofpear1384]

Discovery is not Kelvin timeline, as season 2 of that show makes clear. Whether it really is 'prime' timeline, either, is a matter of personal and subjective opinion - including if visual continuity is worth a damn, given it's 'stealth visual reboot' approach.

A jerk off the United federation of planets is based off mostly of the ideas from the United States of America. Why you think Starfleet headquarters is located in San Francisco.
