The Alternative Factors.
Alternate realties, alternate universes, and alternate timelines
essentially share the same family tree if you will. The point where
the tree trunk meets the ground is the Big Bang; the focal point
for every conceivable timeline. As the tree grows, limbs sprout off
in every direction, branches sprout from those limbs, twigs sprout
from those branches and so on and so forth. Most of the realities
that we have seen on Star Trek are universally similar; the laws of
physics, historical figures and events, significant locations and
most importantly, the main cast of characters.
On May 8th 2009, the eleventh Star Trek feature film
boldly went where no Trek had gone before: rebooting and
reimagining the franchise under the aegis of J.J. Abrams and Bad
Robot Productions. The film paid homage to the previous Star
Trek continuity via a time-travel plot that ultimately created
a new timeline; now only loosely connected to the prime
universe. Whether it is called NuTrek or the JJ-verse, the
Star Trek film continuity from 2009 is its own timeline. But the
question remains: At what point did the timeline diverge from the
original?
