  Well, they have effectively compartmentalized the damage to canon with the rift stuff.

  Without spoiling too much, let’s just say I agree with Cool Boimler on this one.

  Still it’s a fun romp and I like the riffs and easter eggs. Give us more!

    It depends. The Cerritos is passingly mentioned in Prodigy, which suggests at least one version (probably ours) of the Cerritos is in the prime timeline.

      I largely reject the notion of “canon”.

      Others can enjoy canon if they like, but stories don’t need it, and plenty of great ones have well known, obvious paradoxes.

      I’ll just add the famous Dwayne McDuffie piece on this, “Six degrees of St. Elsewhere”. RIP McDuffie.
