I just had a paranoid thought that Ronald Moore has done a deal with Paramount so that when For All Mankind hits the 2020s in Season 6, we’ll get the Bell Riots and the start of World War III, then jump ahead through the war years until we introduce the character of Zefram Cochrane, with the last shot of Season 7 being Bozeman, Montana and the shimmering of a transporter effect, to the tune of “Oobie Doobie”.
I think I drank too much coffee.
this would be nice but it would be complicated due to the fact that (RDM says) Star Trek: Phase II (along with TOS and TNG) exists in the For All Mankind universe. maybe he’ll at least fill in some details from Phase II though :)
