I know the fifth season of B5 isn't exactly popular, but DS9 really needed something like that - a post-war Scouring of the Shire to tie up loose ends, with Sisko overseeing Bajor's entry into the Federation, but at great personal sacrifice.
I felt the same about Voyager. I wanted to see them actually get home, see some consequences and finality
There shouldn't be a MU Voyager, or Ent D and other ones they've done. Is no Terran Empire.
they already are tho
I don't know the exact details, it's all very murky
I struggle to see what it would be. CBS typically does what it want in terms of Star Trek and elements it wants to use. Maybe access to some movie only characters? More control over the films and to push them instead of letting Paramount to be on their own and not get anything done for years. My understanding is that CBS controls all things Star Trek but licensed out the movie rights to Paramount when the original split took place. So CBS can't do films themselves (they don't need to at this point. Look at the production of Discovery). I remember when the first Kelvin film came out there was talk that JJ wanted there to only be merchandise for that film so it would be the only focus but word was CBS said no and that was that. So I'm not even sure what a merge would really bring. I hope it doesn't change anything really and it's just excuse to try and work on the merger.
But with in-universe rules, Kelvin should be an altered timeline. Not alternate. Like in First Contact, or loads of episodes throughout all series.
But time travel in Trek has nothing to do with multiverse. If it did then the problem to solve in all those episodes and movies wouldn't exist.
multiverse=infinite timelines basically, but time travel is broken in star trek so whatever.
Time travel worked pretty consistently up until ST09, but then out of universe excuses could be ignored as was nothing set post Romulus SuperNova.
I mean shouldn't the time cops have stopped Janeway from changing the final? She just completely changed what should have been the prime timeline and nobody seemed to care since the TNG movies followed that ending....it's just a mess made worse by them constantly going to it.
Depends if the time cops saw the entire series of events from the altered timeline. Captain Braxton at end of Future's End never experienced being a hobo for 30 years despite that version of himself being on Earth still.
They wouldn't care about that since it wasn't time travel. He was travelling to parallel universes, not through time.
