The premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on Paramount Plus Thursday, appeared to allege that the January 6, 2021 riot at the US Capitol triggered the fictitious nuclear World War III on Earth in the sci-fi series timeline.
The spin off from Star Trek: Discovery, based in cannon from the 1960’s original series, showed the crew of the Enterprise discovering a pre-warp society with advanced technology, which warring factions on the planet are about to use against each other.
As a peace summit between the two factions begins to break down, Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) beams down in the middle of negotiations to show the two sides Earth’s history, and warns that the planet’s current fighting would lead them down the same path as Earth: a “Second Civil War” that became a “Eugenics War,” and then a nuclear “World War III,” which resulted in a massive loss of life.
Pike introduces himself and says, “…my people and yours are very much alike.” He then shows the faction leaders Star Trek’s prosperous Earth in the future and says, “Though, we were not always peaceful.”
He continues, “This is our Earth in the 21st century, before everything went wrong.” The video flashes to images of modern day as Pike says, “It’s a lot like your world today.”
Pike then says he is going to show the leaders their future and the video cuts to what appears to be the Save America Rally, where thousands of supporters of President Donald Trump rallied at the Ellipse in Washington, DC on January 6, 2021. Pike narrates and says, “Our conflict also started with a fight for freedoms,” as in the montage, people are holding American flags, Trump flags and signs, allegedly from the rally, that say “audit the vote” and criticize Joe Biden, COVID restrictions and the MRNA vaccine.
The next image is a noose hanging from gallows in front of the US Capitol, which was spotted during the riot. Pike says, “We called it the Second Civil War,” as the scene then flashes to what appears to be a social justice march in New York City. Thousands can be seen holding signs including ones that say, “no justice, no peace,” and “in union there is strength.”
Pike continues “Then the Eugenics War,” referencing Star Trek timeline events, as the scene then flashes back to the Jan riot at the US Capitol where people in MAGA gear can be seen scuffling with officers as Pike says, “and finally, World War Three.”
T.V……..sucks?
HOLD THE PHONE!!!!! STOP THE PRESSES!!!! BREAKING NEWS OUT OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CITY ON THE PLANET!!!!! SOME TV SHOW IS BAD!!!!
HOW WILL WE RECOVER AS A SPECIES!?!?!?

Ironically that’s what Mad Magazine referred to it as back in 1967 lol. Star Blechh
January 6th WILL cause a civil war and a nuclear war with Russia.
But only because we FAILED to stop them from stealing an election, or meteing them traitor’s wages when they DID.
Glad I never took an interest in Star Trek, especially now that it is Woke Trek. Hey Paramount Plus Zero, enjoy your bust results – go woke go broke.
The original Star Trek was fun.
Everything after Kirk took itself…….seriously.
The fudge?
Star Trek is the original series and the first few movies. Everything else is irrelevant rubbish.
We just watched Galaxy Quest the other day. It is still just so brilliant that my wife and I watched the documentary on how they made it. They make fun of everything. The part where Sugurny Weaver says F this but you hear screw this is hilarious
If It will not be on regular Basic cable, the last few were specialty channel only, there is 0% chance I will watch a parsec of it.
Holy shit, I’m a bit of a Nerd! NERDS!

Gene Roddenbery couldn’t be reached for comment. His ashes are floating out in space somewhere along with Timothy Leary’s.
Anson Mount as Capt. Christopher Pike is almost worth signing up for Paramount+ again. 🔥
And even Spock wouldn’t say, “Live long and prosper”, to these morons who have so bastardized the newer Star Treks so that they’re no longer enjoyable or watchable. Is Paramount Plus in cahoots with Disney to see who can be the most woke?
Forget Star Trek. It’s windy where I live. It’s one of our seasons. Along with Winter, F-you, fire tornado and heat.
I guess this is part of F-you season. EVERYTHING is in the air. Soot, dust, pollen, dirt, gah. Why we fought the damn Apaches so hard for this place is beyond me.
Car work. ZERO. Yard work. ZERO. I did rearrange some garage stuff,but I’m tellin’ ya’. There’s not even people on the roads. Wind sucks the moisture out of plants and grass. Bah.
I bet it’s never windy in Montany.
It’s so windy here in Yuma, AZ that Mexicans are being blown across the border against their will!
Burr, at least you can move to another State.
Where the hell can I go, Quebec?
I don’t speak their 400 year old version of Bastagized French.
….you drive south. You keep driving south until you run across some dudes in hatz that will ask you what the deal is. You say “I’ma just here for the sportsball game.”
At some point in your 65 year stay in America, you should probably attend a sportsball game so everything is legit.
The left ruins everything
Yeah… it’s why I started talking about the weather before moving on to human smuggling.
I watched it, not woke enough for me, needs more trans-binary systems to be explored.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems to me the only accurate prediction made in Roddenberry’s original series were flip-phones. No transporters, no advanced cultures peopled by aborigines.
No peaceful demonstrations that turned into nuclear war; that starts with some government asshole pushing the button.
