Yes.
Poll Do You Believe STD Is Actually a Reboot [After Seeing It]?
- Thread starter Kane_Steel
- Start date
The movies make money the Prime ones couldn't dream of (While still sadly being miles below the Star Wars and MCU movie grosses they were hoping for), but Prime (or rather, TOS and none of the others) do much better merchandising business.

Well of course, the Prime designs are leagues better than the Kelvin designs.
I wonder how popular the Ship designs for discovery are going to be though because... they're not great. Especially the Klingon ships.
I like the show and for me, it's not terribly important for it to be in the 'Prime' universe. The nod to Elon Musk kinda throws out the idea that it was that universe anyway. The ships and tech look where they should be for 23rd century, which I like and don't want adherence to the look of TOS technology. The show so far has been in like three different places thematically, I'm curious where they go next and thinking they might just end up into that universe where the 23rd century was designed around 1960's aesthetic.
If it was a reboot, they wouldn't be referencing specific episodes of TOS ("The Tholian Web") and ENT ("In the Mirror Darkly").
IIRC, the show couldn't be set in the Kelvin timeline even if they wanted to, because Abrams' company (Bad Robot) has exclusive rights to that. That's why the Kelvin novels got cancelled at the last minute as well.
The show also doesn’t have Cage uniforms that you know lasted until the first episode of TOS, and in TOS there weren’t any goofy looking characters in the background.
and?
"Desperate Hours" states the Cage-era uniforms are restricted to crew serving on Constitution class cruisers.
People say this a lot. But I've seen no evidence to suggest to to be the case.
The only argument I could see one making here is that the Kelvin timeline as a direct byproduct of ST09's plot, which was done under the CBS umbrella. but Kurtzman wrote ST09 and is now working directly for CBS.
I know this wasn't directed at me but, though I wouldn't be ok with it, its prime if they say its prime.
I shudder at that thought though
Why is this thread even still open?
Debating whether or not Discovery reboots anything about Trek or is it isn't set in the "Prime Timeline" is like debating whether or not the sky is blue.
IOW, there's no actual debate here.

Because, fandom.
If say it's more like how Gotham fits with the Dark Knight trilogy. Some of the same characters, locations and situations, you know there is or is going to be a Batman and a Joker, but the execution and look is totally different. They're different versions of the same world, but no way are they the same world.
And that's okay.
some people need to vent their frustration that some extra in a scene had a wig that is not in line with the wigs Shatner wore, or that a ship had a window had a window closed even if we know from episode xyz that starfleet ships of that era can't close their windows, or that the ever changing klingons changed again and there was no writer stupid enough yet to come up with another augment virus explanation or that blinking sounds are higher pitched that they should or stupid stuff like that.
and that's fine.
they have a place here to do this.
better here, than spamming the whole board with conspiracy theories or open up 5 threads a day about canon violations of klingon hair
^ Or they could grow up and get lives.
Continually griping about something and trying to create debate where none actually exists is sad and smacks of desperation and a refusal to accept reality.

would you rether them beat the dead horse here or beating it a little all over the place?
Can we please limit the horse beating?
