Nope.
But when one show goes out of its way to show a technology as new, then another show supposedly set in the same timeline shows that tech a decade to a hundred years earlier, some folks are going to have a problem with that.

They had holodecks in TAS, and Discovery *is* an engineering testbed for new inventions.
As for the artificial eye stuff, the DSC helm officer lost an eye in battle. Geordi was born congenitally blind. Restoring sight via an existing functional optic nerve and granting it where said nerve never worked are apples and oranges. That plus all the arguments folk already brought up.
I pointed this out on an earlier thread discussing Captain Georgiou, but I'll repeat: the conversation between Kirk and Lester in Turnabout Intruder does NOT indicate women can't be captains. Janice Lester is saying that when Kirk took the Enterprise, he no longer had room in his life for her, and made the choice to shut her out ("Your world of starship captains doesn't admit women. It isn't fair [that you treated me that way]").
JANICE: The year we were together at Starfleet is the only time in my life I was alive.
KIRK: I never stopped you from going on with your space work.
JANICE: Your world of starship captains doesn't admit women. It isn't fair.
KIRK: No, it isn't. And you punished and tortured me because of it.
JANICE: I loved you. We could've roamed among the stars.
KIRK: We'd have killed each other.
JANICE: It might have been better.
...The whole artifical eye thing is complete speculation anyway. There's absolutely no indication as to how well Detmer can see. So even assuming implants are at 80% eyesight capacity pre-First Contact, they could easily be 10% here.
And that's putting aside the fact that Geordi's VISOR/implants were actually "better" than eyes to begin with (according to Data) and the only reason it looked like a bad mushroom trip was because the computer was encoding all the data Geordi's brain processes from the VISOR as an image, which is kind of the visual equivalent of listening to dialup internet.

You'd think the flashes of light when they fired their weapons, or all the flashing and strobing as the holodeck deactivated at the end would have caused Lorca some eye-related discomfort.
There is a difference between a country being involved in an armed conflict and having that conflict fought in said country. The United States was involved in both world wars, but no major battles were fought on the North American continent.
Ravage the entire eastern hemisphere and LA could still look as it did in Future's End. In fact, Tuvok was concerned about the dangerous levels of ultraviolet radiation. Perhaps a consequence of the Eugenics Wars.
Hadn't thought of that before, but it does make a certain amount of sense. After all, coming from effectively a desert planet, Tuvok would be used to bright sunlight in general (so the modern "normal" level shouldn't be a concern).
So that's why there were so many holdoeck episodes in the 24th century shows. They had to compensate for TOS
Geordi's visor was used to destroy the Enterprise in Generations, and was used to almost cause a war between the Klingon Empire and the Federation in 'The Mind's Eye'.
Perhaps his choice was 'leave starfleet and keep the visor, or move to something less hackable'
On top of that people still refer to listening to a record, when they actually mean listening to a spotify playlist. We have 3 TV channels at home - netflix, amazon and iplayer. None of them are channels, but ask my kids what a TV channel is they'll say netflix. Common terms and the technology underneath are not necessarily the same. Your phone doesn't have a bell on it any more, but it still rings, my hoover is made by dyson, and some people still tape shows despite being tapeless.
"Internet radio" - there's the ideal example right there.
Probably the dozenth time someone said the animated series thing now. Can someone post where they officially said the animated series counts?
Since when do you care what officially counts according to "them"? You've already decided that Judge Marsh makes the rulings:
The problem is, the proceedings are rigged. Any evidence that doesn't fit your foregone conclusion is non-admissible.
Whoever said TAS didn't count, other than Roddenberry's legal counsel which has been proven to have inappropriately overstepped numerous boundaries in the early days of TNG when he was too ill to deal with things himself?
Kor
ok where?
