Star Trek

Yeah, true. But, heck, why not time travel. It's a trek thing. They've done it like 6 times, twice in the movies alone.

And even though Alternate Universe was done only once TOS (though also once or twice on spin-off series), it's become the pop-cultural template for all Alternate Universe fictions ... and so I believe is widely accepted and understood.

Combining the two (i.e., having an alternate timeline that, so as not to freak out fans, can leave the original time line still in existence on some other plane of time/space/dimension/fiction) is Star Trek 101, and I thought would be easily understood and accepted.
