I like the Star Trek reboots, but respecting the lore is not their strong suit. https://youtube.com/watch?v=aSrSBBLLtYc https://youtube.com/watch?v=aSrSBBLLtYc

  I'm a tiny bit out of date regarding ST continuity (lost interest after the end of DS9 and the death of Data in Nemesis) so please correct me if I mess up my time travel or don't get the meme, but the split in the timeline of the reboot happened in the early days of the Kirk captaincy while Discovery is set ten years before TOS... which means all the interactions of the TNG/DS9/VOY episodes with Q didn't have happened yet in the timeline of the first two Discovery seasons and at all in the future of Seasons 3ff? (Seriously, time travel as a concept is annoying, especially when everyone uses their own version of how it works!)

    I thought Q Continuum and Q as individuals existed outside of normal spacetime, although I do like the line of reasoning you have traced.

      Urgh, yes. Completely forgot about that part... Q can technically be used to retcon every difference, by a simple act of Q. A snip and whatever is wrong didn't even happen, or it happened in a multi-verse (we have evidence for the existence of at least one, the infamous Mirror Universe... one of my least favorite plot devices).

        Mirror Universe is so fun, though! It gave us classics like Mirror Riker. I thought the Mirror Universe in Discovery was very well done, without spoiling anything.
