Trust me on that one. Oh, and then there’s this Guardian thing that’s like a portal to the past. But don’t go there or Harlan Ellison will sue your ass.” > > I wonder if Talos IV has been discovered in the JJ-verse. I would LOVE for the (inevitable) sequel to start with a James Bond-style brief outtake, showing the Enterprise dealing with the Botany Bay… Kirk: Botany Bay… that’s on the list, isn’t it? Spock: Indeed it is. (taps computer screen) Recommended disposal: all crew to be left in suspended animation and sent to Earth for revival and imprisonment. ---

> [@jackdavinci](#): > > Any particular reason we’re ignoring “Year of Hell” and all of ST:ENT? Any particular reason you’re assuming Enterprise involves branching? I can’t really address Year of Hell, as it was an arc on Star Trek : Lost in Space, which I didn’t watch. ---

Year of Hell erased itself, and there’s no reason to think Enterprise was an alternate anything; it’s referenced in both timelines because it took place before Nero showed up and made Vulcan art really, really valuable.
