Comment on [Speculation] Will Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 explain the Romulan Supernova? – Trek Central

  From the script:

  SPOCK PRIME: (voice-over) That is where I’m from, Jim. The future. The star went supernova…

  SPOCK PRIME: (voice-over) …consuming everything in its path. I promised the Romulans that I would save their planet…

  If the sun in question was the Romulan star, then turning it into a black hole to contain the explosion would not save the planet.

  Killing the star would not save their planet.

  Anything involving Romulus’ star means that ‘saving the planet’ is completely impossible.

    Yeah, I agree that that part of the dialogue is problematic. However, “Picard” definitively stated that it was the Romulan star.
