A good way to explain the 'Star Trek' alternate timeline

Cryptic Studios is currently working on a massively multi-player online roleplaying game for the "Star Trek" franchise that takes place more than 30 years after the last episode of "Voyager."

Part of the making the game includes keeping the timeline that "Star Trek" has made. So everything that happened in the original series, next generation, etc. happened in this game.

As well as Nero's home planet of Romulus being destroyed.

As we, tried to, explain in a previous episode of "Viewpoints On..." Nero and Spock didn't go back in time to alter the original timeline. They went back in time AND into an alternate universe.

Well, the makers of the game made a nice, fancy chart to fully explain things a lot better than Stephanie or I could.
