Perhaps not true. When they close the breach at the end of the episode everything snaps back to how it was before Worf entered the fissure. So they’ll likely be sent back to before they were destroyed and still have a chance to rally vs the borg. Though things aren’t looking good.

They were on the run with ship being held together with tape, spit, and desperation. And the borg wouldn't have pulled pinches on their next encounter. The real question is which empire do you flea to? Which one would the borg either ignore or be able to put up a flight.

Eh, they just have to hold out for a few more years until the Borg will have bigger fish to fry off in the Delta quadrant. No Voyager means it'll take at least a while longer for the Borg to figure out how to beat Species 8472. That could at least give the remaining ships some room to breathe. We could even see sorta an inverse of Scorpion, where the remaining non-Borg ships are able to make an alliance with Species 8472. Or maybe I'm wrong and there is no opening and everyone dies. It'd still be fun to explore what a Borg-dominates Galaxy would look like for a little while. Jurati claimed that in every timeline the Borg inevitably lose, so it'd be interesting to see how that happens in a universe where it looks like they've pretty much won.

I wish I could find it but I read a really good Fan fiction about this timeline. In it Riker basically kept the Enterprise D in lowest power mode capable in order to not be detected and would warp out every few days or so to keep dodging the Borg. It did a good job of showing the stress and desperation the crew was going through trying to keep the Enterprise going. It was getting worse because the ship had been running for so long without getting routine maintenance that certain systems were failing, and non essential systems were shut down in favor of saving power.

This really is a sore spot for me. There's a significant group of people who get excited about "gritty" or "dark" reboots. I am not one of them. I think there's been too many already, and I fear that "gritty reboot" has become synonymous for some people with the term "better reboot."
View on Reddit #32696335

Acceptingoptimist@reddit

I'm with you. Star Trek is about hope, unity and the best humanity has to offer facing a dark and sinister universe and overcoming it. Gene Roddenberry never wanted the crew even arguing. That was too unrealistic. TNG found the balance of introducing conflict, trauma, pain, weakness and the crew being there for each other through it. To me that's the real utopia of the Federation. It's not replicators and holodecks. It's a bunch totally different people dedicating their lives to something bigger than themselves though exceptional personal development and being there for each other no matter what. That's what Star Trek is to me. That's the sauce. For whatever reason, writers in Hollywood, especially at Netflix want to take good concepts about hope and make them into stories about unlikable people backstabbing each other. And then they wonder why they fail to resonate with viewers.
View on Reddit #32698350

Vat1canCame0s@reddit

Agreed. Although I think little bits of this sort of "peek behind another curtain" are great because it creates that contrast. It shows *that things COULD be awful* in the universe, and that juxtaposition makes the "main timeline" mean more with its hope an optimism. We can avoid these fates, etc

> For whatever reason, writers in Hollywood, especially at Netflix want to take good concepts about hope and make them into stories about unlikable people backstabbing each other. And then they wonder why they fail to resonate with viewers. It's a shortcut to "drama". Writing reasonable characters disagreeing reasonably with each other, then coming to a consensus, then applying the consensus in order to overcome an obstacle and making it compelling takes skill and work. Writing unreasonable characters disagreeing with other unreasonable characters gets you to "drama" in a hurry, but it's weak drama.

gfunk1369@reddit

I love a gritty reboot like BSG or even a gritty Sci-fi universe like The Expanse or Babylon 5 but I need my Star Trek to be optimistic and hopeful. I think that's why the new Star Trek stuff hasn't really resonated with me. It's too hellbent on deconstructing The Federation into some failed mirror of the military industrial complexes that exist today. It's just depressing.
View on Reddit #32822374

See, I wouldn't even consider Babylon 5 "gritty". B5 has a string of hopeful philosophy throughout the entire show, even when their optimism is momentarily dashed.
View on Reddit #32826842

gfunk1369@reddit

I say gritty in the sense that it's not a utopia like Trek. Capitalism exists, racism exists, poverty, crime and disease are still a big part of Earth Force. It's probably closer to what we will get if no one decides to wipe us all out launching nukes but it's a "dirtier" future than what Trek has presented. I agree we eventually get there after the civil war, shadow war, Earth being reduced to medieval levels but it's a far longer road to that hopeful future.

It's been a thing for decades.

DS9 engages with the utopian premise of Star Trek. Often, it explicitly *critiques* this premise, or highlights some of the colonialist attitudes, etc. But it at least relates to the premise in good faith, even when it isn’t buying in. Discovery sort of just discards the utopian premise entirely and pretends like ST has always been some edgy grim universe. I think that’s what rubbed me the wrong way. I feel similarly about S3 of Enterprise, which has some good episodes but imo diverges too far.

The Year Of Hell 2-parter was the Voyager production staff apologising to Voyager fans, as _that_ is the kind of thing they promised us in the previews: a federation ship alone in a hostile quadrant, resource starved, constantly having to make do, cobble together repairs, meet a constant stream of new species and have to negotiate their way around each one. But what we got was just a normal Star Trek with a vague concession to "low resources" being Neelix cooking up one batch of gumbo a day and somehow feeding the 200 strong crew with it, whilst simultaneously losing 1 shuttle each episode and somehow getting it back again.

Significant-Record37@reddit

And every few months there's a random macguffin quest to go on that has a horribly unsatisfying conclusion. The season quest arc design of that show was the worst part. I prefer serialized but it would've been much better with a few small arcs each season with 2 or 3 stand alone episodes, or have the major that be only partially dealt with by them, cuz there's apparently NO other ships unless they needed them for set dressing/deep cut callbacks. The first season was decent but the red Angel was the beginning of the end. It's like they thought they were writing game of thrones level of mystery and were really writing at a blues clues level. There was a HUGE missed opportunity to collaborate on the control storyline and the machine intelligence at the end of Picard S1. It seems control could either have become that thing or somehow got in contact with it. Besides LD and SNW they've been SERIOUSLY dripping the ball trying to create shows for target demographics, there should be a pg/pg13 max and an R, not the kids show (prodigy), the teen show (academy), the millennial show (LD), the nostalgic ALMOST deeply serious show(Picard), and the everyone show SNW. Have maybe 3, one serialized and adult themed, one mixed episodic/serial and traditional (SNW has that covered) that is accessible to most viewers but pushes the edge a little, and something fun and different like LD comedy or a non federation centered show on an independent ship from earth, or even a fully alien mixed crew outside starter that highlights the way others see the federation.

Oh dude, make a old man Riker in the mirror universe and he’s on a voyager style journey trying to get home. The twist is he brings the cardasians to bajor. I didn’t flush this thought out. This probably wouldn’t make sense.

The Borg is everywhere. It's a weird timeline where they talk about the Borg in the singular. Most distinctive thing about it, really.

Seems like his uniform should have been more tattered and worn. When your ship is constantly being shot to hell, who has energy to waste replicating new clothes every day?

My favorite part is when Riker decides to disable their weapons by firing a torpedoe.

Ah that's why he turned around. He needed to wink at Worg "Disable their weapons!" ;-)

Capable_Sandwich_422@reddit

This Riker knows that it could very easily have been him in that situation. Getting destroyed at that point would have been a mercy. It’s kind of like when Picard shot that crewman as the nanoprobes started to assimilate him in First Contact.

Riker's coolness factor is directly proportional to the appearance of his beard, as we know. This timeline has Riker at maximum beard, which means it's probably peak Riker. So yes, that would be fun to see.

I kinda feel like we got it with Voyager's "Year of Hell." You see what happens when a Starfleet crew is pushed beyond their limits and continually tested by an enemy who continues to dog them and outguns them. I thought Janeway rose to the occasion.

The Equinox was what they wanted to do with Voy but old Rick Berman was maximum Rick and nixed that idea.
