In a particular method, the unbelievable Apple television+ program For All Mankind can be taken a look at as an informal precursor to Star TrekBoth programs picture an alternate truth where occasions in the past made it so innovation and area travel continued to establish throughout our life times. While Star Trek begins in the future, on For All Mankind, we see that past. We took the moon, we took Mars, and we’re still going. If you move that story a couple of a century into the future, you can quickly envision a Starfleet comprised of ships with warp drives.
It’s no surprise that, in the alternate truth of For All Mankind, Star Trek exists. The Wrath of Khan was pointed out in an earlier season and, in recently’s penultimate season 4 episode “Brazil,” we found out that since the early 2000s, 3 Star Trek reveals exist in this world.
“I understand you dislike Star Trek, however you much better get utilized to it,” area legend Danielle Poole (Krys Marshall) informs her child, who is quickly to be a daddy. “Because I’m gon na ensure my grandbaby is a full-blown Trekkie. That’s right, we’re gon na see all the series, all 3 of them.”
That throwaway line got some fans questioning. In our truth, there were 6 overall Star Trek reveals by 2003. Which 3 made it through in this truth? Well, at a Collider Q&A today, For All Mankind manufacturer Ronald D. Moore spilled the beans. “I believe … the last I counted, I believed we were stating it was Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: Phase II, which was the program that never ever occurred in the ’70s, and Star Trek: The Next Generation,” he stated, per Screenrant
Timeless For All Mankind. Take what we understand, and twist it a bit. Stage II, for those who might not understand, was the working title of the Star Trek series being established to follow up The Original Series in the 1970s. It, naturally, didn’t occur in our truth, however carried out in For All Mankind’s. That makes sense. That world is one a lot more driven by a love of area and expedition so it would be simpler to make it to air. When it comes to why, by 2003, just one other program existed, we do not understand. Perhaps it’s due to the fact that the truth of For All Mankind is so near what Star Trek was thinking of: a world where individuals in fact did boldly go where nobody had actually preceded.
And yet, there is a small twist here. We likewise understand that Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan exists in this universe. According to Moore, it’s got a somewhat various context, at least in his mind. “In my head, The Wrath of Khan is the very first Star Trek film [in the For All Mankind timeline],” the manufacturer informed Inverse back in 2021. “They most likely did the Star Trek: Phase II reveal that has actually constantly been spoken about. The initial Star Trek went off the air before the Apollo II landing … In my variation of history, Paramount does make the Phase II program in the mid-’70s. And after that they transitioned into Wrath of Khan and not Star Trek: The Motion Picture, due to the fact that of the run of the prolonged and marvelous, and seriously well-known run of Phase II, it’s a year later on that The Wrath of Khan comes out. It’s still The Wrath of Khan that we understand and it was basically the very same story. I enjoy The Wrath of Khan and I could not bear to alter that. It’s the very same thing.”
With the 4th season of For All Mankind having actually simply ended today, and continuing to go even more and even more into area, we do not yet understand if it’ll continue. Just recently, the program’s star Joel Kinneman did inform io9 how he hopes it’ll all end. “The sort of grand vision for this program would take us from the area race and after that a main turn over to Star Trek,” he stated. Everything returns to Trek.
