Discovery at STLV. The massive info dump
- Thread starter RAMA
- Start date
Who's that?
While YOU may not consider it to be Star Trek, everyone else does. So....12 years.
It's not too bad. But one of the worst parts is having to wade through all the Enterprise crap when I need to find information on Memory Alpha.
I couldn't care less what everyone else considers.
Why even bother participating in message board discussions then..?
I was thinking the same thing.......and with a Lorca avatar.
Love this FB post by the Okuda's by the way:
When ST:TNG was in early production, I understood fans' skepticism about the new show, especially since Gene wanted it to look so different from the original series. Still, as a Star Trek fan, I was gratified that so many fans gave us a chance before making a judgement. That's why I think the good people working on Star Trek: DIscovery deserve the same open-mindedness that we encountered when Star Trek: The Next Generation first aired in September, 1987.
Don't bother reading the comments, but I get what they're trying to say.

My thinking is that since he pasted Lorca's head on Pike's body that he just barely considers that OK.
It is fact. Your head canon is not reality. You own fan theory is not fact, Both of those are star trek and ENT is prime canon, just as Discovery will be prime canon. Like it or not.
It reminds me of Roddenberry, when he would decide on what was actually Star Trek or not depending on his mood. TAS was then was not, any movie beyond TMP was then was not.
The plain bottom line is that anything that's been shown on screen by Paramount (and now CBS) is canon. Like it or not.
Or they just think Issac's is a dream boat #crush
There's some good art, good discussions. But just becasue there is concensus on a subject doesn't mean I must accept it. Most people think the NCC-1701 nacelle domes are bussards, that doesn't mean they are.
I wouldn't have a problem with Discovery if it bothered to be within a realm of consistency with the other things we've seen from that era. My avatar is the Captain Lorca that I consider acceptable.
Don't like it and thus I reject it. I'm sorry if that hurts your feels.
Your headcanon is irrelevant.
Yeah, they keep track of canon and can choose stuff not to be canon. TAS is not considered canon by either. Ans Paramount is not gonna use any of the TV stuff. Its easier to just use their own reboot universe,
I hate to tell you this, but the folks on ST: Discovery ARE getting about the same chance TNG got from hardcore Star Trek fans back in 1987. <--- And no I'm not kidding because overall the fans in general were saying TNG would die a quick death and even Paramount at the time had a plan that IF TNG did tank, they'd just include its one season of episodes in their TOS syndication package going forward. Either the Okuda's are viewing the past through rose tinted glasses/or they somehow were unaware of all the fan backlash prior to TNG - which continued until midway through the third season. YES, TNG gained fans, but the majority of fans it gained hadn't really been interested in Star Trek prior to TNG.

It does nothing to my feelings. But once you start confusing people with bad math because you have rejected reality, it becomes really hard to hold a discussion with you because you are not using the same setting everyone else is. You have created your own.
That's not the way reality works. That's called denial, nothing to do with "feels".
CBS considers TAS canon.
