This looks interesting but the idea of the new Star Trek universe being doomed won’t hold water. This series will no doubt suffer from the same problems that plagued the original Marvel Star Wars comics, and the whole Clone Wars animated series which were set between movies that were fixed. You knew that no matter what happened, any threats to the heroes or their world would be resolved happily because they had to be there, unchanged, because of the movie that followed. In this case, because they can’t change anything that might impact any future movies Paramount may want to make, nothing important will really happen in this series – although, since Q is involved, they can engage in as much carnage and destruction as they like and Q will simply wave his hand and fix everything by the end of the series. In fact, that’s pretty much why I didn’t particularly care for most of the “Q” episodes on Star Trek. You knew before the first commercial break that no matter what happened, one of the Q would simply wave his or her hand and fix everything.
