This is why you stop messing with the damn timeline. The Department of Temporal Investigations can only do so much, folks.

I've now concluded that the Dept. of Temporal Investigations created the Star Trek TV shows. They're actually temporal damage control, by papering over the temporal incursions and leaked future-knowledge by telling everyone it's fiction!

Previously, on Wormhole X-Treme!

Being a 24th century Starfleet officer being forced to do writing for a 21st century reality show must be especially soul-suckling!

Might explain Code Of Honor.

Like Wormhole Xtreme in Stargate

Temporal cold war, final answer.

Spock is a common name on Vulcan. Literally, L'Roy Spock was the worst time agent the federation had, and also the best. He worked as a roadie for the Beastie Boys, which allowed him plenty of excuses to travel around the globe on his missions fighting a group of Kelvan pirates. Unfortunately, he didn't understand what a "blunt" was, which is how he ended up on an album.

Any fan of the Beastie Boys knows this. Who else was going to build them a giant robot in Tokyo? WHO DO YOU THINK WAS PILOTING IT?! Why do you think there was a giant tentacle monster, who was actually a Kelvan!

It's probably like in the last action hero. The movie is about a kid who essentially falls into an over the top arnold schwarzenegger movie. At one point they go in a video rental shop and there is a cutout for a Terminator Movie, but it's starting Sylvester stalone instead. So it's probably something similar. Spok is replaced by some other non star trek reference.

The Kirk enterprise crew went back in time to pre Beastie Boys at least once that I can recall, specifically in the late 1960s, early 1970s.

Its entirely possible that Kirk could have fathered one of the Trek-universe beastie boys.

Department of Temporal Investigations listening to the Beastie Boys' Intergalactic like it's Louie Louie and they're J. Edgar Hoover
