Talk:Thavanichent th'Dani

i'm well aware of the precedent establishing that the timelines become skewed, in Watching the Clock and The Needs of the Many. They establish two different futures for Kathryn Janeway and the Borg, with Marion Dulmur caught between... they also establish the awareness that the "main" "primary universe" Star Trek timeline is the one where the Borg die out, and that STO is an exception.

however, they do not specifically address every character. only a bare few characters in the "main" "primary" version of things where Destiny happens have ANY known future after 2387. Everyone and everything happening after Nemesis and Star Trek 2009 DO NOT have 25th century futures. a lot of them are going to have contradictory histories, and some of the contradictions can be explained by resurrections and time travels between the two timelines. some of the STO history does happen in the Destiny era, some doesnt. We cant make blanket sttements for every character that they must stay dead/unresurrected/uncrossed over or are definitely in an alternate timeline.

the whole point of Dulmur's appearance was to show that people can become displaced and not 'belong' to a timeline they are in because of the ongoing distortions. we need to stop assuming that there is a definite split between two timelines when we reference every character. if someone dies in the 24th century novels but lives in the 25th century games, we cannot fill in the blanks of the intervening 30 years and definitively state these are two different versions. a lot can happen in 30 years and at least some of the dead are already known to have been resurrected and live on in both timelines. -- Captain MKB 22:16, December 27, 2014 (UTC)
