| Quote (anderbilt @ May 30 2009, 4:54 pm) | another alternate reality in Generations -
After the Enterprise "B" is hit by the plasma bolt, Kirk offers to fix the deflector, but Captain Harriman instead puts Kirk in command as he runs for the deflector dish. ¿
Harriman is instead sucked into the Nexus, where he realizes the potential for going back in time to fix past mistakes. ¿ Harriman formulates a plan. ¿
He appears inside of the spacious garage of a suburban Chicago Illinois home. ¿Next to him is a Ferrari convertible with the back end jacked up, going furiously in reverse. ¿ Harriman quickly reaches in and shuts off the motor, just as the car falls off the jack. ¿
The sound of the car falling makes three teenagers turn around in a panic. ¿Harriman walks up to the tallest teen, slaps him on the forehead and says "you owe me one, butthead." |
You know THAT house and garage just went on the market for a cool $2,300,000 or $11,545 per month. Star Dreck: The Farris Bueller Years |

You know this thread was suppose to be fun.
Alternate realities:
McCoy complains vehemently to Capt. Kirk when a medicine man's opium-laden "cure-all" nearly kills an infant girl. Kirk initially finds himself unable to intervene legally, but he is finally able to do so when abuse of the elixir results in the death of an elderly man. Spock finds the whole thing fascinating.

Spock, Kirk, and McCoy answer a distress call and find themselves on a planet of people dressed in ancient grecian drag, and one midget. After curing the head grecian guy, McCoy and company are manhandled by mental telepathy and made to perform unmentionable acts (Spock does a Flamenco dangerously close to a prone Kirk's head. And then, the telepathic bastards beam down Christine Chapel and Ohura, as love tokens for Kirk and Spock. Oddly, Spock who kinda sorta has a crush on Chapel, who definitely has a crush on Spock, are not thrilled when forced to kiss and then---hey, wait a minute, they did this one already.

| Quote (anderbilt @ June 01 2009, 8:45 pm) | | yeah, but in this version kirk and alexander exchange bodies, and suddenly alexander is able to be KING of the Academicians. ¿it adds a comic touch in the TOS final filmed episode when Janice Lester has to think twice about swapping bodies with the shortest fleet captain in Star Fleet. |
One can never have too many body swapping episodes. |

There are several indications that Spock and the Nero travelled to a parallel reality to begin with.
1. Starfleet
- Captain Pike describes it as a peacekeeping and humanitarian armada. While in the prime universe it does serve as the military its primary function is exploration. This could be indicative of the difference between the two organizations principles. At time PU Starfleet's hands are tied from humanitarian and peace keeping work due to the Prime Directive.
- USS Kelvin's crew complement is 800. The PU Constitution class's crew complement is 430 and is considered the biggest Starfleet ship of its era. This could be indicative of different design philosophies between PU Starfleet and AU Starfleet.
2. Klingon Neutral Zone
- The movie mentioned a Klingon Neutral Zone. Now we know in the PU a Neutral Zone is established in a treaty defining borders after a war. Such as with the Romulans. The Klingon-Federation Neutral Zone was established during the 2260's due to the interference of the Organians with the short Federation-Klingon war. Now Nero's attack on the Kelvin could not have such a profound impact to interstellar politics.
3. Everybody knows who the Romulans are
-In PU the Romulans in the 22nd century and early and mid 23rd century alway knew more of the Fedration than the Fedration knew about them. Romulans consider secrecy an asset. Now one could say the Kelvin-Narada incident was the first real contact with Romulans for the Federation but I got the impression Captain Rabau knew who they are. Also the Enterprise comm officer can't distinguish between Vulcan and Romulan languages.
4. Urban San Francisco
- In the movie was depicted as a concrete jungle. Far from the depictions we got that it is a paradise in PU.
5. James T. Kirk the only child
-In the PU James Kirk had an older brother who resembles him, George Sammuel Kirk.

| Quote (anderbilt @ June 02 2009, 11:24 am) | In an alternate reality, an aging Ambassador Spock suddenly shows up on the Bridge of the Enterprize A between Movie 5 and Movie 6. ¿The future Spock pulls out his phaser and shoots his present-day self. ¿ A hundred years in the future, a normally bald Jean Luc Picard suddenly has a full head of rich thick hair but no other change can be detected. ¿
Then 15 years before future Spock's appearance in the past, actor George Takei appears on the USS Enterprise, carrying a huge samurai sword. ¿He quickly dispatches everyone who outranks Hikaru Sulu and places the helmsman in permanent command. ¿
The temporal wave of change sweeps backward through time. ¿In 1968 a set of TV towers in Los Angeles suddenly becomes a huge battle-robot, as basement doors explode open all over the city to allow zombie fans with glowing eyes to seek retribution for the canon violation. |
Now THIS has real possibilities... |

| Quote (photoartist66 @ May 15 2009, 11:56 pm) | | "One of the reasons we wanted to break with the original 'Star Trek' timeline was it felt restrictive," Abrams said. "The idea, now that we are in an independent timeline, allows us to use any of the ingredients from the past - or come up with brand-new ones - to make potential stories." This is a interview I just read. Rick Berman was able to do over 620 hours of star trek without screwing the time line up or having to change the time line. Today's hollywood writers producers and directors are just not talented is all. Any professional writer could have taken the material that already existed and gave a great prequel. Currently this is happening with the prequel Caprica. It is restricted by what was introduced in the pilot and what we know is to come 60 years later. It does not ruin the story line knowing what will happen to certain characters. It didn't ruin the story line of the star wars prequel knowing that Anakin would become Darth Vader. So sticking to the star trek that was and knowing the Kirk dies on veridian 3 would not have ruined any current stories that could have been told. J.J, you will not be making any more money off of me. And Paramount shouting about this film making 76 million on opening weekend (well Star Trek 2 still has done better. In 1982 dollars Star Trek 2 made 80 million at the box office - tickets were 2 dollars for a matinee: Star Trek 11 cost me 8 dollars for a matinee, that is four times higher than 1982. Divide the 76 by 4 and you get 19 million . Trek 11 has so far only earned 19 million in 1982 dollars, a long way from passing Star Trek 2. ) and the studios do go by the tickets sold not by the dollar amount gained. |
For one thing, Berman screwed with canon quite often. Number 2, there is only one cast of Trek that is $$$, and that's the TOS cast. |

In the alternate reality Star Trek, the remaining TOS cast track down the reboot writers, installing then in a special hack writer's wing of the home for retired motion picture performers, where ancient Spock repeatedly nerve pinches them and Kirk incessantly quotes Shakespeare until they agree to write sensible, intelligent scripts. Meanwhile, Paramount, looking for a way to further exploit its least favorite property, plans to use the Star Trek franchise as a basis for its own amusement center called Star Trek the Ride!--which promised to make a fortune. Original Trekkies (or Trekkers) rise as one and, after downing their morning pills, hobble to the streets in celebration in their walkers and wheelchairs, which, of course ends at noon as they all need an afternoon nap. |
