The Doctor would like to have a few words with those of you confused as to how the recent Star Trek movie affects the existing canon.Related content

Thank you Doctor, for explaining that so i don't have to. It is something of a pet peeve of mine, the people that don't understand this...

Hahaha, very clever to pair these two together. I already understood how the new Trek movies worked, but this is still really fun.

Not only does it make perfect sense, but it even has the quote from the episode "Blink" of Doctor Who. It's brilliant!

Thank you for doing this because I couldn't wrap my head around the explanation for the "Star Trek" reboots. I was actually a bit worried because it made me think of "Donnie Darko" and that did not end well for Donnie.

I don't remember ever seeing this before but it was already in my favourites

Yes, but the problem is that in the world of Star Trek, changing the past doesn't lead to an alternate reality. Every change in the past, changesΒ the future of the same realityΒ (see: The city on the edge of forever (TOS), First contact (TNG), Year of Hell (VOY) and many others....)

You forget an episode of The Next Generation.
In this episode, Worf travels through parallel reality after Parallel Reality.
None are erased at the end.
The episode is called Parallels.
Also, it was confirmed that Reboot!Trek's time travel created a separate reality, like he ones in the episode Parallels.

To be fair, 99% of Star Trek's nefarious time travel episodes always end up "closing" the loop by convenient solutions at the end of the story arc. This case is different because the only way they could close this particular loop is prevent the black hole from ever opening in the first place.

This is perfect, and explains it better than I have been trying to for a while now, thank you!

You mean people didn't get that the first time?

Thanks for clarifying, Doctor XP
Totally saving this because this is the exact point I try to get across to people all the time XD

Dude, this is genius. The arguments that could have been skipped had I been able to put it as well as this..

Exactly! I hate it when people can't grasp these kinds of things.

finally some one bothered to explain it to those who didn't know, nice use of Kappa there (I tend to refer to each incarnation of the doctor as a Greek letter, it's easier sometimes)

That's how I saw it before even watching Doctor Who. It's a simultaneous layer to the original. This is how dimensions really work, in my opinion.
Put simply, just because Pete's universe exists, doesn't mean Rose's universe ceases to exist. Likewise, the new Star Trek doesn't stop the old one from existing. It's just on a separate plane of existence.
With that creepy void the Doctor was so keen on calling, "hell" in between.... =3=

I really don't see what's so complicated about it.

All the while I was reading this, I was expecting "BLINK....DON'T EVEN BLINK" to show up. x3
WIN. 83

Thank you Doctor.
Seriously, this cleared up some things that were bothering me about the timelines. Thanks.

lol only thing I am confused about is why Star trek and Doctor who have not had a crossover XD

This is an utterly brilliant explanation! I'm so glad The Doctor could clear this up for me!

now that is exactly how i saw it, being a extreme Doctor Who fan and a Trekkie, and also, an aspiring theoretical physisist, i understand the multiverse to an extent, and I gotta thank Doctor Who, Star Trek, Stargate, The Big Bang Theory, and Wikipedia for that

Wow, the doctor will help me explain this to people a lot easier.
