[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] Didn't you guys see "Parallels" (TNG)? Or hear of, say, the Mirror Universe? This is not a new concept for Trek. And OF COURSE it's a device designed to allow them not to be bound strictly by established continuity. But at least it's an explanation. I cannot BELIEVE that there are so many people out there (check out the STXI board on the TrekBBS) saying "I wish they would have just done a reboot without any explanation." I would have HATED that more than Khan hated Kirk. Franchises really need to STOP. DOING. THAT. And given the stuff we already suspend our disbelief for in Trek, is it really so hard to imagine that different methods of time travel under different circumstances produce different types of scenarios and outcomes? There could be more than one type of timeline split/paradox and more than one way of "handling" them. Really, there hasn't ever been one overreaching unified theory of time travel employed in Trek. Various writers on various shows have always pretty much done whatever their plot required at the time. Just like warp drive. It really ought to be called plot drive. [/QB][/QUOTE]
