Things don’t have to be this way.

    I feel like we’re definitely getting Star Trek future. In the Star Trek canon, the United States had a violent uprising in the mid 2020s.

      And we’ve still got the Eugenics Wars to look forward to

        It was the start of WW3.

          Wait… Does that mean the Bell Riots were the catalyst for WW3? What was WW3 fought over? Because IIRC, that’s when humanity nearly wiped itself out; when Cochrain launched the first warp-capable vessel, weren’t there under 100k total people left on the planet or something? Or was that the Eugenics Wars? 🤔

          Oh man… Thinking about this makes me wonder why they haven’t done a series that far in the past (aside from it not going into space to fit the star in Star Trek). If they wanna go dark and gritty, what better point in the timeline to explore?
