I'm waiting for the Star Trek series about the titular ship named "Valourous Defender"

...Or maybe a show about the secret missions of Janeway and crew called "Voyager Declassified"

Or (last one, I promise) one the revolves around a group attempting to terraform a desert planet; a show called "Verdant Dunes"

Is the VD theme deliberate...? :lol:
 
"Destiny" is not a very science-fictionesque notion...

I think it would all come down to whether or not the future exists. If it exists and we're just not experiencing it yet, from our perspective and our perspective alone, then destiny is possible.

I disagree; the notion of "destiny" implies that things are written in advance, like decided by a supreme entity. It doesn't really jibes with science in general that stipulates that randomness is at the basis of... everything, e.g. the butterfly effect, the random mutations that are the source of evolution, the uncertainty principle, the observer effect etc...

I don't know... I like Spock's "currents of time" explaining why the same people always interact in the same place doing some of the same things even in vastly altered versions of history. Maybe it can be explained with the resonance frequencies of the quantum multiverse.

Or maybe Q did it.

Destiny doesn’t mean just that.

You’re over thinking it.
