The first time I saw it, I came in a couple of minutes late, so I missed everything changing into an alternate timeline. I saw Tasha and thought, “is this a repeat?” And I thought, “no, the uniform is wrong.” I still think it would work better that way. Start it with the Enterprise C coming through the rift and the timeline already changed.

That would have been great! Just dump us in the action, let us figure it out with the crew.
Voyager did that for an episode, starts off feeling like normal but slightly off feeling, then it all starts unraveling.
