    Good news: no Bell riots.

    Bad news: we are officially living in the Bad Timeline.

        And I’ll bet we no longer make the April 5, 2063 Vulcan flyby, meaning first contact will be delayed, and humanity will never form Starfleet and we’ll be powerless to stop all the other terrible things from happening in the galaxy. Gene Roddenberry was a temporal terrorist after all.
