    Didn't Voyager, and to an extent Enterprise, reveal that the future Federation basically has time cops?

    Where the hell were they during the reboot?

    I stopped watching LOST after season 2 and didn't pick it back up until three episodes from the end

    the way people talk has convinced me that I had the best LOST experience

    enterprise did it to the nth degree, they made it super duper clear the future federation had a special branch devoted to time travel. i can't specifically remember what they were called, but they factored into a ton of plot points in ENT

    frankly, though, as much as i liked enterprise, the time travel was weak

    and i really genuinely loved enterprise, mostly for the stand alone episodes

    The logic seems to be that normally time travel just changes the current universe and the red matter didn't just rip them through time but also into an alternate universe like in the TNG episode Parallel.

    Alternately they just wanted to do a damn reboot.

    You're talking about Section 31, who were actually a DS9 creation. One of the few things Voyager did right was ignore them.

    tell me about axiom nexus
    Axiom Nexus is a city within the multiverse populated by advanced Transformers called TransTechs

    they have a superiority complex like whoa, and the city itself is known for receiving various lowtech offworlders via accidents in transwarp technology, or visitors going there by choice

    the lowtechs are oppressed by the TransTech government, tagged, and monitored

    the science division of Axiom Nexus has documented over fifteen million concurrent universes, whilst Bug Bite, a Renegade, claims there's over 15 QUADRILLION universes in the multiverse

    Kind of makes sense.

    I like the reboot, it was just all this talk about ST made me realize that those time cops should have basically intervened.

    Also, the series needed a reboot after Enterprise/Nemesis/Voyager. That, or a very long break before a new series was done.

    memory-alpha might be my favorite example of egregious nitpicking nerdery to the max, though

    every episode summary has like a dozen quotes, basically outlining every plot point / thing some dork thought was hilarious in retarded detail

    it's a monumental testament to thousands of mental illnesses

    that's for non-licensed / not-canon stuff right

    like the extended universe of star trek

    i've never delved into that at all. my dad has a few star trek books from the 70s and 80s, though

    That's the problem. Sure it's a lot of work that might pan out to be unfeasible but at least it always took the time to try to be plausible. I can deal with people flying through a black hole if it's a Disney movie. Not Star Trek after being built up to what it was.

    If it was purely making fun of Michael Bay and his Transformers, I would be fine with it

    But the vivid detail leads me to believe it would be informative and shit, and no thanks I don't want anybody acting like they can explain his Transformer movies in a way that doesn't make them sound insane

    Yeah it's about books and stuff, the soft canon

    although mem alpha has some of that stuff too
