I sense sarcasm.
No. I
really am glad that they had made an effort to sidestep an alternate universe explanation.

Its never officially stated what Fox's take on the Aliens comic series is, but most fans do seem to throw it into its own timeline outside of the movies.
I don't care who decides that it's in another universe (whether it's Fox or the fans), I'm just saying that it's an old cheat no matter who does it.

You mentioned the "other universe" excuse some authors use for things that don't make sense. I was talking about the multiple universes that are in Star Trek. I was trying to understand what you were talking about. Sorry for the confusion
I always thought that the main characters were in "our" universe. Granted, they would visit other universes, but it's like:
Fan 1: "Wait a minute! Didn't that guy die last season?"
Fan 2: "Nah! Well, uh,
yeah."
Fan 1: "Dude! WTF?!"
Fan 2: "Okay. In 'our universe', he died. The
Nincompoop entered another universe where that universe's
Nincompoop was mostly destroyed. They boarded the ship and found one survivor who was that universe's Ensign Skippy. Since they were missing an Ensign Skippy of their own, they asked him if he would like to join their crew and..."
Fan 1: "Dude! Just shut up! My head hurts..."
The confusion is all
mine, as I don't follow
Trek.
