Crossovers would be good, they already set up the idea of a multiverse in TNG and maybe the change to thinking in terms of a multiverse could breath enough originality into Trek to break it loose from the self-dirivitive ruts it has been in for the last decade or two. It would also eliminate the specter of the 'at least 25% difference' paranoia if both sides of the IP split merged again.
Nice. Wouldn't mind STO getting access to more Kelvin Timeline stuff like outfits and a couple of the ships.
Never understood why we were able to get the KT Enterprise and Vengeance, but not the Jellyfish or USS Kelvin considering that they belong to the Prime Universe.

Discovery had so much potential with their Spore Drive, but its potential is hardly ever used. Discovery could have been used to explore the multiverse, but all we see is the Mirror Universe which has been done in Enterprise, TOS, and DS9. Turning Discovery into Star Trek: Sliders would have been fun since it could have shown various What If scenarios.
Never understood why we were able to get the KT Enterprise and Vengeance, but not the Jellyfish or USS Kelvin considering that they belong to the Prime Universe.
The Jellyfish would probably qualify as a small craft. And while the Kelvin is Prime... she only appeared in the Kelvin Timeline movie, and was not the hero ship. Kelvin Connie is the hero ship, and the Vengeance is a powerhouse.

The Jellyfish would be a small craft. The Kelvin makes far more sense to be in STO than ships from an alternate reality that no one from the Prime Universe besides Spock would ever encounter. At least, the Galaxy-X could be explained by Picard giving a report on his experience in the series finale to Starfleet and some ship designer decides to create a ship based on Picard's experiences in that alternate timeline.

Come, Come, Mr. Scott - young minds, fresh ideas. Be tolerant.
That's not it. The USS Kelvin was a Survey ship (read Science), and as we all know from the Edison comments, Science ships don't sell. So no need for Cryptic to worry about getting it in game.

Discovery is Prime timeline, always has been, not only is it all canon, nothing in it is Kelvin timeline.
It can be debated that Discovery is not part of the Prime Timeline of TOS, TNG, DS9, and Voyager due to the extensive amount of time travel in Enterprise, but Discovery is definitely not part of the Kelvin Timeline.

Survey work does not necessarily imply a science ship. In TOS a lot of what the Enterprise did was "survey" assignments and it is a heavy cruiser, and in Wrath of Khan the Reliant was a Miranda-class light cruiser assigned to the Genesis project and was doing mainly survey work. A "survey ship" implies an explorer, the kind of job that midsize warships often did in peacetime back in sailing ship days (which Star Trek is loosely based on).

Sigh, fans don't decide that, nothing does except what the IP owner says.
Since the IP owner says that Kelvin is not part of the prime timeline that means that it isn't part of the prime timeline by that measure. That also means that DSC and Kelvin are not part of the same timeline, because if they were then DSC would not be part of prime either, so it is not "just fans" saying that DSC and Kelvin are not the same timeline.
Of course, there is also the factor that IP ownership does not negate fan reaction entirely either. They have to take it into account to some degree if they want to maintain credibility and have an audience for their stories.
Sigh, fans don't decide that, nothing does except what the IP owner says.
You are right, fans don't decide that. Logic does. If the past is changed, then the present is changed as a result. Wiping out millions of people on Earth in Enterprise that weren't wiped out in the original timeline means that the present would be changed even if there is no indication of it in the show. Enterprise always had Daniels saying that this wasn't supposed to happen.
This doesn't bode well, in my opinion. Putting both IPs, Right(s) and Trademark(s) under Viacom is not fiscally responsible. Shari wants Moonves in control but Viacom wants Bikish. Since both companies are owned by National Amusements Inc. (NAI), CBS Corp. would have to increase dividends and reduce NAI's control. It was tried once before and the courts sided with NAI. This could imply a move back Star Trek's roots considering that NAI threw $1.5B at CBS Corp. to enter talks to acquire Lion's Gate Entertainment and MGM Studios.
Hope this goes the way of the Trekkie and not the way of the investor ..

And how do you know they didn't die in the original timeline? We never saw Florida in TOS or TNG, and we barely saw Earth at all in VOY or DS9.
All we know is that Daniels originated from a timeline where the event didn't happen, and yet either he's still able to access his original timeline or none of those millions were important enough to the future to eliminate his time. (And so much for "time travel always works the same way in Trek".)

Yeah, it was a shame. He was a good CEO and a family friend of the Redstone's for more than thirty years. Did you read the memos' that Shari sent out about allegations? .. can't write that language here but Shari was peeved! She wants Moonves back in control.

I thought it was Moonves who blocked the merger in the first place so that surprised me. Honestly I'm skepticalpy he was actually guilty anyways, like usual #Metoo doesn't pass the sniff test. If he comes back I hope he does right by star trek.
He did. Moonves knew that if CBS Corp. and Viacom re-merged it would increase the value of both companies and target them for takeover. The reason Viacom split to begin with was to devalue Viacom, who controlled Paramount Picture Studios, so SONY's investors would rescind their takeover bid.

If Moonves did come back I seriously doubt it would be a good thing for Star Trek since he was always rather vocal about his dislike of science fiction in general and Star Trek in particular. If it was not for the need of something big and splashy to jumpstart CBSAA he probably would never have greenlit DSC or any other Trek.

No it can't. That's not a debate that can be made at all. Reason is your time travel fettish seems to only work on ENT and DSC and ignore all the time travel in the other shows and films. This isn't even internally consistent with your own tiered arguments so can be dismissed out of hand.
so it is not "just fans" saying that DSC and Kelvin are not the same timeline.
Correct, the people saying DSC is the prime timeline and the KT is the KT are correct because that is also CBS' position. That's what azrael605 is saying. I assume you quoted his post to agree with him (despite not being able to agree with yourself) rather than quoting starkaos' post to correct their continual misunderstanding of how the franchise works.
Of course, there is also the factor that IP ownership does not negate fan reaction entirely either. They have to take it into account to some degree if they want to maintain credibility and have an audience for their stories.
Their concerns are the protection of their own IPs (the reason canon exists in the first place) and to generate money. That's it.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

So you actually think that killing millions of people during the Xindi incident wouldn't cause any change to the timeline when they weren't supposed to die in such an incident? With millions of people dying in one incident, then there is no way to know which changes to the timeline have happened, but the effect would be severe. Billions of people would never be born and Billions other would exist that weren't supposed to exist. Technologies would be delayed or be available at an early date. Certain events would never happen while other new ones would be created.
To think that the people, technology, and events in the other Star Trek series wouldn't be affected by killing millions of people during the Xindi incident is incredibly short sighted. Daniels' timeline has changed immensely from the actions of Enterprise. So either Daniels' timeline is a previous timeline before the events of TOS, TNG, DS9, and Voyager where the Xindi incident happened in those shows or Daniels' Timeline is the timeline of TOS, TNG, DS9, and Voyager where the Xindi incident never happened in those shows.
Oh boy... giant corporations merging together to make an even gianter corporation. Yaaay, that's not disconcerting at all... I wonder how long until Disney owns Star Trek as well as Star Wars?

CBS All access only has canonical things and doesn't have any KT stuff at all.

Kelvin Timeline. The Kelvin is a ship, a prime timeline ship that spawned the name for the alternate timeline due to it's destruction.
Obviously as Pike is still alive in DSC as he goes onto TOS whereas he's dead in the KT.
What!?!??! That does not follow on from any of what you just wrote. It's directly contradicts the last point you made in fact.
