We have a rule against AI posts, and I accidentally posted one without considering. Sorry about that.

I’ve barely started S6E9 (literally; just past the opening credits) and I already want to turn off the episode and delete it permanently from my collection.

Hm? Hm? Hm?

Bonus Spock looking o-so-jelly:

Note: I stand by the meme, title and content but I will note that this is the personal stance of me and not of TenForward in general.

That being said?

Fuck Cops.

specifically paradoxes.

Ignoring the one instance of branched time that I know of (the Kelvin timeline), assuming that the prime universe has a single dynamic timeline (considering all the times Voyager reset the timeline):

my thoughts are time travel creates a permanent linkage between two points in the timeline.

• The linkage stores all changes caused by the time travel.
• Linkages are vulnerable to paradoxes.
• Too much paradox stress causes the linkage to rot and break. (like an old rope?)
• If a linkage breaks, all changes it caused are naturally lost, thus the timeline self corrects.

I haven't seen much around about how paradoxes would physically work. this just came to mind and makes the most sense to me, I'm curious if something like this has been explored before?

very simple illustration below, black line is the main timeline, red line is a linkage created by time travel:

TOS s1e27 "Errand of Mercy"

How can you be able to sense emotions from sometimes light-years away? I often see her sensing others emotions from ships light years away and I just realized it and ik curious what the range of it is? (Silly or cannon response of course).
