If you ascribe to the infinite multi-verse concept, every timeline is a shadow of those to either side so they can be almost exactly the same but for small changes. But yeah, to have all the changes we see in the Mirrorverse or the Abramsverse or this latest UEverse, it's pretty unlikely anyone...
It's a combination of things, but mostly low bumpers/hoods and/or stubby front ends (the cab-forward design popular in the late nineties) cause the pedestrian to go through the windshield head first which is frequently what kills them. That's why small cars today tend to still have long noses so...
'Tis glorious, but I don't think I'll be participating in this one. The bummer is, I'm worried Hasbro will watch something like this to see if big playsets are worth crowdfunding, and it's not completely apples to apples. I like Thundercats, but they are not a property I would spend this much...
That's his point though: they wanted to keep the optimism of the show. Roddenberry's goal was to show a hopeful future when WE (not some nebulous alternative multiversal us) moved beyond all the horrible things humanity had done up to that point (Pelia's whole "socialist Utopia" comment).
So...
True.
They went away mostly due to changes in pedestrian safety standards, as the really low, wedge-shaped front ends that required pop-ups became illegal. Combined with the law change allowing other-than-round headlight bulbs, the added complexity wasn't necessary... and a little bit of joy...
I don't believe that. Him finding peace with that eventuality doesn't preclude a change. That being said, it will be really tough to explain a healthy Pike at Kirk's trial in a few years.
At a certain point I think we have to ignore their protestations that this is all still the Prime timeline, because that's more ludicrous than the alternative. With that in mind, I'd say the future isn't constant either.
Just because he fills time during the video asking for opinions doesn't mean it hasn't been decided or at least narrowed down to a very short list. I think the only thing to really take away from that is they may get some confirmation for the decision they've already made.
Bear in mind, the...
The alternative is either going full MCU and saying everything we've known of Trek has been in alternative timelines. I'd argue that takes away some of the "magic" of the show which is that the collective "we" will eventually make it to that point. It undoes the hopefulness. Or go full James...
So yeah - guess it's "complicated". Just another discontinuity of the new Trek that's totally in the same universe as TOS wink, wink. (Which I've grown to be ok with)
Hasbro is dropping hints about the next Haslab - all signs point to the Ghost (hopefully TVC)!
