the Discovery-era
Well, this seems poised to be set sometime after “The Undiscovered Country,” which is actually one of the more interesting aspects for me.
I hope we get a de-aged Shatner appearance (I don’t actually hope that… I think)
quick get Sam Witwer on the phone
I would love that! Give the lost part of the Monster Maroon era (mid 2290s-2340s) some love.
The weird thing is April from SNW should canonically still be alive due to TAS:”Counter-clockwise Incident”.
The presence of a young Rachel Garrett seems to suggest it (she was likely born around 2300, so the movie could take place around 2330).
I don’t know if we’ll see any actual maroons, though - I think they’re operating outside of the Federation.
I just realized another thing about April - assuming humans live 120 years on average in the Trek universe and April got turned roughly 20 in Counter/Clock, an elderly April could still be alive in the 2360s or 70s.
