Kirk and Picard sabotage Soran. However, isn't this "reality" just in the Nexus? So, how was it successful and they... just escaped and all was right with the universe? I.e. didn't they just sabotage Soran "in the Nexus" only and not in past ex post facto, fixing everything and rewinding history? If real reality was changed did Kirk just die?
Thanks for any clarity or insight
I imagine this has been discussed at length
