Archer being Future Guy makes more sense if you view it not as him turning heel, but rather as him seeing some other shenanigans going on with the timeline and stepping in to ensure that things happened the way history recorded them happening, by becoming the person in the history books. Wouldn't be the first time a Star Trek captain did it (cough Ben Sisko/Gabriel Bell cough).

I think it's fairly simple what Future Archer's motives were. If you want to ensure stability in the most critical time in galactic history, you have to know the players. Archer knew himself and his crew, making it easy to put bread crumbs out and manipulate his past self into correcting the problems before they become problems. It's a lot like how Q would act antagonistically only to help Picard and his crew understand deeper aspects of situations. And let's not forget that Enterprise is actually key to the Star Trek multiverse, at least in the eyes of Doug Drexler(Mr. "Trip's not dead!"). And, if Future Archer's acting to keep the timelines right, encouraging himself to fake Trip's death hardly seems like a leap... Not even a quantum one.

Starting in the middle of ups and downs made me thing there was a temporal attack on our timeline.

Eh..... Enterpise - J was from timeline in which Archer failed to destroy Spheres and their Bulders has attacked Federation in 26th century. Later Star Trek Online adapted that storyline and moved it into prime timeline (until Picard reshuffled entire game into alternate universe). But original idea was that Archer by destroying Delphic Expanse anomaly, removed battle of Procyon-V from history and by thus making big question mark after question: did Enterpise - J really existing in prime timeline?

@DLordSadow

Ай бұрын

Okay, i try to answer your question as best I can. The Universe Class Enterprise-J we saw in ST:ENT was as you noted a product of an alternate timeline. In that timeline the transformed space of the Sphere Builders had consumed half the Milky Way. Countless planets would have been rendered uninhabitable. The sheer size of the Enterprise-J was probably because in addition to its role as a Federation starship it was also serving as something of an Ark. in the Prime timeline, that transformed space doesn’t exist and thus the need for people to relocate to starships doesn’t exist either. I’m sure by the 26th century there is a Federation starship called the Enterprise with the registry of “NCC-1701-J”. It however would look nothing like the Universe Class monstrosity we have seen.

We saw that with the delayed cascade ability that Voyager invented while in the Delta Quadrant. Anyway, we have a new enemy at Procyon V in the Krenim, and they are core to that history. The Sphere Builders may not be a key part of those events going forwards as a result, but still have to happen. The Annorax vs Voyager hints at that history, and also could show a possibility that both ships will fight again in an eternal fight. That fight should happen at Procyon V in the time fight that happens there. We need to see that fight when we get there, if only to see what changed from Archer's time. These episodes in the past in these shows are showing the differences are seeding all the players that will have stakes in that conflict, and all cycle to Procyon V in a pitched battle. It is serving as a large scale failsafe fixed point event for any discrepancies in the timelines of the galaxy, like how the Vulcan first contact event ends all those changes affecting Earth's past.

Oh and events in STO's mirror Borg storyline alters a good part of the Nakhul faction to be a small faction in the temporal war.

Achieving mastery over space was nigh, time was next, and we'd become a people that actually registered on the Q's radar if not beginning our road to being like them. But the temporal wars proved we were as savage and hopeless as the Q always accused us of, that we'd regressed, and so they lost interest.

So, one of my biggest gripes with Disco going to the 32nd Century was that we knew Starfleet had time ships long before that, like the Relativity. It made the whole "Burn" seem like an easy fix...go back before it, tell everyone to power down their warp cores, no problem. But, I'm beginning to come around to the idea that after the Temporal Wars, some sort of moratorium exists on time travel. I'm not sure what sort of enforcement of this moratorium might be...maybe a Krenim-esque erasure of your species from the timeline...or maybe there was so much time travel and disruption to spacetime that any more meddling risks unravelling all of existence, so no one does it? If the temporal wars were so terrible, I can get behind the idea of thr Federation and others in the galaxy supressing all knowledge of the science behind it. Maybe Starfleet Academy, the show, can explain it.

I find the ban on time travel strange based on the fact that Star Trek crews accidentally time travel all the time, plus it's as easy as slingshotting around the Sun. There are clearly many factions in the 32nd Century (e.g. Emerald Chain) so why would they abide by a weak Starfleet's time travel ban? And there must be numerous uncontacted civilisations unaware of the ban so who is stopping them from temporal shenanigans? As suggested, some horrific damage to the very fabric of spacetime might be enough to dissuade time travel, but otherwise once time travel tech is invented it can't simply be uninvented and ignored. (I try to not think about this plot element though as I do love Discovery and am glad the show found its feet in the 32nd Century setting)

Retcon idea for Archer as the adversary: he travels to the future and sees the devastation left by the events of current season Discovery (the Breen destroy the Federation), or maybe even the Burn, but only briefly. He assumes they lose the Temporal Wars, and is now deadset on preventing it and makes the wrong choices.

We could have a Prodigy episode that finds the Dauntless (being captained by whom I’m not sure) ending up in that 26 century battle. It could still happen for them- because that might have been them!

Makes sense.... Remember when Archer got Stuck in a Quantum Leap?

The Guardian of Forever explained why Nero, his crew and Spock didn’t have issues with jumping timelines, and going backwards in time. It basically comes down to distance from the point of divergence. Because Spock and Nero traveled backwards in time they spent their entire lives moving forwards to the point of divergence. Empress Georgiou on the other hand jumped into the future meaning that she would be moving away from the point of divergence. Every second thousands of new potential timelines became possible.

By this point, temporal stuff in Star Trek is confusing. At this rate I wonder if it’s a matter of time until the writers accidentally create a time travel episode that cancels out other episodes or even shows. If Star Trek shows are going to show more conflicts, maybe focus on an invasion from the Mirror Universe or a threat from outside the galaxy given the Borg are gone, the Romulan Star Empire is shattered, and the Dominion are staying in the Gamma Quadrant. The Mirror Universe is a strong idea to me because given that we know it’s no longer accessible, maybe this revelation pushed someone in the Mirror Universe to invade the Prime Universe. We already have non-canon games and comics that show Mirror Universe invasions. That being said, who would be the enemy? The Klingon-Cardassian Alliance? A revived Terran Empire? Somebody new?

Kovich says explicitly that the Terran Empire is gone and makes no reference to them having to fall a second time or anything like that. I think they’re off the table.

Personally, I like the Terran Empire being dead and gone. I think it was a good shakeup for DS9 to make and going back to it imo can only stifle story potential and render the mirror universe fairly one-note. I also prefer to be optimistic and think that Smiley and the gang managed to make something better

I'm going to say somthing controversial; I think we should de-cannonize TOS. Hear me out: They mention a war in the 90s that Voyager wrote out, sexism in the Federation existed (Pike not wanting women on the bridge, women can't be captains), the Enterprise could zip from the center of the galaxy to the outer edge in hours instead of decades. It would allow Khan being a part of WW3. As well as undo many Canon issues.

I doubt prime Spock's sickness would be quite as bad, because his jump was backwards only a couple hundred years, and I Believe he landed close to the diversion point, meaning the universes only started to branch there as the divergence started to happen

Just in case you put in effort to make it so, I appreciate the length of the video. :D

I do wonder how these shifts and time with Khan and the Eugenics Wars what effect and the Enterprise encountering Khan for the episode of space seed because wouldn't the botany they need the amount of time that it had in order to drift to where the Enterprise encountered it and if so does the Wrath of Khan happened the way it did

6:48 I think you meant the crew of the Defiant.

I don't care how ridiculous it is, I'd love a story that explains why the 23rd century changes it's look and technology so drastically, and tie it in to timeline meddling due to the TCW.

I liked this explanation. Thank you, although it was a bit confusing. I have a question about Strange New Worlds. I love the show, it has slowly become my favorite of all the Star Trek series, but why are there inconsistencies with it and TOS? Like the Gorn for example. In TOS when they first encounter them, they never heard of them before. Well if on SNW they are about to go to war with them, how would they not know about them on TOS? Just things like that make it a little confusing.

Future Guy from Enterprise was really just Dr. Sam Beckett.

I really wished that you had put up spoiler alerts when talking about Strang New Worlds & how the girl was a Romulan. Haven't caught up on the show & didn't expect all that revealing plotlines. Had to cut the this off since I don't know what else you may spoil.

I think we can infer the klingons involvement in the temporal war. In discovery we find out they have time chrystal and some time travel, and in Strange New Worlds we find out the Klingons are willing to and able to assinate people from the past to alter the present or the future.

I find it interesting that Locke (from Discovery Season 5) looks somewhat similar to the Na'Kul. But by that time everyone should know them right? So Locke isn't one I guess.

9:05 Harry Kim didn’t suffer any issues thru the remainder of his life that we’re aware of.

In one of the Enterprise episodes (I don't remember which) they find what is effectively a TARDIS. It is also confirmed as a time ship (and bigger on the inside). Ignoring that this was a neat nod to Doctor Who and focusing only on the canon implications. Since it's never mentioned again, despite the Time War being such a big thing in the show, could this ship be from the time war, or would it potentially be from even farther into the future? OR, for a real mind bending idea, from even farther in the PAST from one of the old races. Proto-Q or even the progenitors?
