    There's a reason "Smoking Man" from the X-Files is still so iconic, we didn't really learn much about him.

      Actually we did he was freaking Mulders Dad! And was one of the first of the families to turn away from the aliens deal because he knew it was crap and probably not real. SHORT SYNOPSIS X files story is about 2 agents who discover that eventually aliens do exist and the secret rich and governments made a deal to relocate them to a new habitable planet and let the rest of humanity die or be abducted for experiments and take over earth. (i.e. a planet of earth's elites) Smoking man said screw all that and set them up with false info to get them caught and help Mulder find the pieces!

      He was part of a faction of radicals from the 28th century. He was arrested. Read Watching the clock. The DTI novel. The front in the 22nd century is because later on there is temporal shielding preventing time travelers from reaching these times. History has no record of who created the shield. Because they left no records. Used no communication devices or networks. Left no paper trail. No clues to tell future opponents the who or where to target. No classification can last forever. If you record things it can be found. Temporal scientists worked in secret with the help of the enforces ( some anyway) helping to hide them. To hide the transfer of material and resources. So any changes had to happen then. To prevent the rise of the temporal accords signee's and their enforcment of time travel restrictions.

    plus if future s31 found out that a ship from 900 years ago surely they wouldn't allow Starfleet proper to interview/interrogate/debrief an s31 agent since she in theory could spill the beans on alot of events that people may not want to be revealed...

    My headcanon is that Future Guy was from an alternate future and wanted to either destroy that future (FG = Archer) or bring that future into being (FG = someone else). I know it's explained he's from an earlier century than Daniels, which is why he can't properly manifest in his relative past, but I also felt like his reality was unstable, making it extra difficult.
    I don't think the MitG from Discovery is him. MitG works in a different way. Besides, if MitG wanted to improve his own time, he wouldn't bother with the NX-01. He'd go back to just before the Burn and fix that first.

    several stories seem to suggest themselves without necessarily revealing anything about either character. what if glasses guy is a temporally edited version of future guy (or vice versa)? then what if they were at a "philosophical" war with each other. not that one is bad and the other good, but each is willing to let a different set of questionable events unfold for the betterment of the federation (one is ok with an act of genocide the other a galactic war). then characters could choose sides and things are looking horrible until someone realizes there is a choice nobody thought of and suddenly the future is bright but unknown.

    Me likes the idea, since it fits to my own headcanons narrative, that the federation is the result of metatemporal agencies.
    Got a headful of theories, how Q, the Borg, Section 31 (why is it called that way?), and at some part vulcan/romulans are linked with each other.
    I think that the Vulcans of First Contact had been there for temporal anomalies. Warp Discovering Earthlings had been just "coincidentally" happen to be found during their investigation.
    Thinking of that movie, there is something odd about the way the borg attacked federation so "carefully" with just one Cubus at a time, while they reached for havoc in the delta-quadrant.
    On the other side it fails to fit to their prime goal to assimilate high advanced civilisations, when they go that deep in their past to quasi eliminate their technological advances completely from whole history.
    So this lead to question, why the borg had been timetraveling in the first place, and what their mission could have been.
    Had they been used as tools, fooled to initiate the birth of the federation? Or was that a desperate attempt to eliminate the greatest thread to the borgs existence?

    Having him be the guy with glasses isn’t a bad idea, but if so I actually want a proper reveal.
    I don’t like the idea of leaving things mysterious for too long, hinting at something with out eventually getting a proper reveal is just disappointing. Even more disappointing than what they did with the Borg, the problem with the Borg in Voyager wasn’t that they gave away too much info, it’s that what they gave away wasn’t impressive.

    Give that time *travel* technology is not realy available in Disco season 3, temporal projection might still be feasible.
    That he was undone when daniels deleted the federation - and even helped against the Xindi and Vosk - does not make him a part of the federation.

  • @TheCyberloki

    It could be really cool to pick up Enterprise and tie together some lose threads from previously ST shows and now in a different time reveal what his interfering with Archer was all about and maybe even revealing that he just made Daniels think he would be from the past for some reason. But this would require a level of knowledge of the past shows the Discovery writers have shown they don't possess.
    Maybe look for STO and the Iconian War, they managed to use some lose ends from episodes all over Trek history and explain them as the Iconians interfering from the shadows and they managed to do that without really contradicting anything that came prior at least not as open as Discovery does often. That story Arc was really really good prepared and researched storywise in my opinion. So it is possible and can indeed touch the Heart of a Fan like me who has seen all the shows and movies. But only IF IT IS DONE CAREFULLY AND RIGHT.
    Discovery on the other hand seems to lack that kind of background knowledge of what came previously or they would have avoided many of the things even a casual treky realizes "wait that is too early for that technology" or "wait a ship like the Enterprise or the Discovery can never carry so many shuttles they use in the S2 finale" or at least use one or two sentences in Dialoge to explain away the most obvious plot problems like "why the hell wasn't the Sporedrive recreated as Dilithium became instable?" Wasn't it supposed to be an Federation only developed tech so they should have the knowledge... And if we look at how well stamets is doing it wouldn't even be that much of a moral issue to allow that one single augmentation for volunteers so they can get pilotes to use the sporedrive to safe the federation and bring aid to their people and even the other factions...
    It could have been explained away so easy by just one sentence "we found the tech of an ancient race, we are not able to recreate it but we can at least activate it" and voila the reason why its not used in the future by to bring Voyager home is that Discovery together with that special piece of tech (which couldn't be recreated like the Stargate in well, Stargate) must have gone lost sometimes in-between. Or tell us that the Sporenetwork is a plane of existence Stamets and his Friend discovered by accident and is just one of a infinite number of subspace layers and that Starfleet tried but could not get a connection to that layer so the Discovery remains the only ship which can by coincidence use that system. Or give even Stamets himself a special ability like in that theory where Stamets is the traveler and the Sporedrive works only because of him (not because of the tardigrade nor because of the tardigrade DNA but because he wanted and manipulated the reality with his will) maybe even make him partly a Q but his abilities just barely awaking so not even the Q realized just now. Would both even be a nice homage to TNG episodes.
    It is sooo easy just one short conversation to silence all the fans out there complaining but insted their solution after their promise to correct that problem was "oh we will never talk about it again and its top secret now, michael will be erased from all records..." and yet in S3 the vulcans still know exactly who she is. They can't even stay true to their own established canon. Sad just sad.

    Here's one for you Lore: Guy in the glasses, when explaining why people from parallel universes die from time travel, used a throwaway line to the effect of the other officer was from a parallel universe created by a time incursion of a Romulan mining vessel.
    Boom, right there. That throw away line codifes the J.J. Abrams as a parallel universe as canon. While strongly implied in Picard, I didn't see anything confirming it. Now it is. Suck it NMST denialists!

  • @boeubanks7507
    @boeubanks7507 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think this is going to be an open question without some definative additions to alpha cannon. In Enterprise, it is noted that there are many factions in the temporal cold war and heavily implied that we only see a few of them. So, future guy could be the guy with glasses, from the same faction as the guy with glasses, from a different faction with aligning interests, or from competing factions and the crews, and by extension the audience, are not in a position to see the wider picture. This is the biggest problem with answering this question. All we have to go on are unreliable narrarators.
    The guy with glasses and future guy are both largely unknown entites with questionable motivations and no way to verify the truth outside of the immediate circumstances. Daniels seems to have positive, or at least benign, motivations towards starfleet and the enterprise crew but, he does not give much information and we do not know what he is holding back.
    There is another possibility here to. What if future guy, the man with glasses, and Daniels are all working for Starfleet but different factions within it. Lets assume Daniels is who he says he is and a time bureau agent. Basically a time cop. The man with glasses could be Starfleet intelligence. And future guy could be from a future iteration of section 31. All three of these groups would have differing goals, methods, means, operational requirements, designs, and levels of ruthlessness. In a way, this seems to make the most sense.

    I do not think future guy is Kovich.

    If STO is canon, and it is, then the Envoy is Noye.
    The leader in the Battle Of Procyon V, and the Captain of the Annorax, the opposing Flagship, whom is assisting the Sphere Builders in that battle.
    Their agreement to join the fight during Enterprise is the first beginnings of that battle.
    The Nakuhl is another enemy in that, which we saw introduced in Enterprise, and there are another enemy; the Vorgons, still in pursuit of the Tox Uthat, and the Mirror Universe's Admiral Leeta.
    In fact, you could say that Future Guy died, because the Battle Of Procyon V's outcome was shifting beyond what allowed him to exist.
