We're on track for Star Trek being prophecy

So hopefully I go quick during the Eugenics War

Bell Riots on schedule. Then coming soon (this decade), the Second US Civil War and the Eugenics Wars, both of which spin off into World War III.

I thought the Eugenics Wars were before the Bell Riots

Tal Shiar agents fucked up the timeline

yeah we missed them in the 90s. as implied by the text anyway.

voyager 100% gave up on depicting that but we could just be in the timeline where that tech douchebag found the space ship

Newest season of SNW had an episode about the eugenics war moving in the timeline, it's kinda dumb.

oof.

trek shows shouldn't visit past earth before like season 4. give the writing time to find a groove.

Past Tense was in season 2 of DS9. Future's End was season 3 of Voyager (kinda sucked but was decent for Voyager), TOS only had 3 seasons. Time's Arrow is the only going back in time in on earth post season 4 example I can recall.

SNW S01E01 also placed the Eugenics Wars at the start of WW3, as one of several conflicts that ended up escalating.

The season 2 episode is about how it got moved up in the timeline with a pointless in-cannon explanation, I was okay with it being hand waved like the klingon ridges before they fucked that up too. I'm kinda sick if Khan and the eugenics wars being a well they keep going back to in newer trek in general, his out of universe fame has seeped into the universe. The Darth Vader effect

I agree that lots of things that have production explanations don't need in-universe explanations.
