Sure it does. We're Star Trek fans.
Yup. That's pretty much it.Right. That's all it was. Because the people who'd gone to incredible effort and expense to painstakingly re-create the look of TOS for the sake of an affectionate episode-long homage obviously just wanted to point and laugh at it with disdain.
I have no idea, because I still can't sleep...I didn't watch ENT so I still don't know O_O
Yeah, I'm unconvinced....Long story short (too late?), the only hard-and-fast chronological relationships between TOS episodes and original-crew movies are (A) TWOK happens fifteen years after "Space Seed," and (B) STV:TFF happens at least 20 years after the end of season one (since the Nimbus III colony could not logically have been established until after the Romulans were back on the scene in "Balance of Terror," and the Klingons had been reigned in by the Organian peace treaty in "Errand of Mercy"). It has always struck me as quixotic to disregard one of those relationships for the sake of otherwise completely arbitrary dating conventions and far more ambiguous evidence. FWIW, in my own timeline (headcanon of course, but very detailed) I place these two films in 2283 and 2287 respectively, with a significant time gap between movies 4 and 5.
Honestly, it really doesn't. If the TOS era is largely unexplored, then how is DISCO somehow violating what really isn't known? Same with Starfleet. We didn't seen the entirety of Starfleet, so much so that Franz Joseph, and FASA came up with a huge variety of starships to fill in the gaps.
Considering the Augment storyline in ENT is vastly superior to any episode or Story told in Discovery and did far more to flesh out the Klingon race and Voq/Ash storyline was complete and utter garbage. I'm fine with just ignoring Discovery from the Prime timeline.
Based upon what evidence? This is hardly a representative sample on this site.

who would ever consider this? there is a reason why ENT ended Star Trek on TV for over a decade. And their worst storyline, the Augment shit, is a huge part of that reason

I'm waiting.
I've seen more people say they were good then bad.
I mean, same, but in reverse. That's how anecdotal evidence based on the social circles you tend to associate with works!
To be fair, that's mostly because Trek fans are a contrarian bunch who eternally hate the current product until the next one comes along and suddenly what came before is the new "True Star Trek." It's been that way for nearly forty years now. TMP wasn't True Star Trek until TWOK came along, which wasn't True Trek until TNG debuted. Then that wasn't True Trek until DS9, which wasn't True Trek until Voyager, and that became True when Enterprise premiered. Enterprise joined the pantheon of True Trek when Trek XI came out, and the Kelvin Timeline is True Trek now that Disco is on the scene. Disco will be True Trek when the next iteration of the franchise comes out, sure enough.
That really isn't how retconning works. At all. That's overwriting, not retconning.
