  Star Trek’s WWIII happened from 2026-2053, I believe. So we’re still on track.

    Yeah, right after the wealth inequality and homelessness crisis and plagues of the first half of the 2020s.

      Is that really part of Star Trek lore? Because…that’s terrifying if so.

        Look up the Bell Riots.

        Great stand-alone two-parter from Deep Space 9 about the 2020s.

    Vulcans would have to be real. Their presence is what makes humanity realize there’s a better way to live.

    In fact Cochrane himself states that he built warp drive just to get rich. His intention was to jumpstart capitalism in a post-war world that had no functioning economy.

    If Vulcans landed on our Earth after WWIII, we would just kill them and create the Mirror Universe instead.

      That would certainly track with the rest of this timeline.

    Yeah I was hoping for WW3 but we just got climate collapse instead. No star trek for us.
