Poll Do you consider Discovery to truly be in the Prime Timeline at this point?

Get back to me when Romulans don't have that dumb forehead ridge in TNG+

Star Trek 2009

Uh, well, they, errrrr, cured it!

Why not? Perhaps encountering the Prime universe allowed for another technological leap? I mean the Defiant did it once and then the tech stagnated. The Mirror Universe does not seem to have great innovation when it comes to technology and often relies upon the Prime Universe for leaps forward, i.e. the Defiant from TOS era and the Defiant from DS9.

You still don't get it. It isn't the changes in and of themselves. It is the juvenile writing that is attached to it.

Juvenile writing is a matter of perspective.

If Berman and Braga's names were on this show, people would be out with their proverbial pitchforks looking for blood. Remember Commander Chubby? I sure do.

Who?

They had no issues with the Defiant lighting a hundred years prior.

So, things changed in a hundred years? I know, it's weird, but it does happen.

Who?

Watch "Broken Bow" closely, and you will know who Commander Chubby is!

I think everyone who knew about the Prime Universe in DSC got killed due to explosion, so I think that's unlikely. Plus, they could have been able to make the leap with information from the Defiant that they already had for like 100 years. Unless they decided to not do that for some reason until the 2250s or 60s due to some social shift in the Empire.

Nor did they have an issue in TOS, and no issues one hundred years later. How many things can happen in this small period of time that doesn't match up with anything else in the franchise before peop!e get the hint the writers aren't taking Prime all that seriously?

Exposure to agoniser booths damages the collagen in the body, including the eyes. Once they move to the clip on, the damage stops happening.
That’s why Philippa doesn’t need eye jabs.
You are right of course. It was very silly. Poetic writing being allowed to dictate physical fact ‘even the light is different’.

But...fixable. Or just never go back.

 

[Tuskin38]

the Defiant's interior lighting was darker then TOS even after they reactivated main power.

And the Mirror NX-01 also had dimmer lighting.

Neat. But this Star Trek doesn't seem to want to take us anywhere but to regurgitating the past.

Clearly not as bright as the 1960s

Since we don't know what happen in that hundred years, I have no problem going "Something happened and they fixed it ten years post."

It isn't that hard for me.

Unless they decided to not do that for some reason until the 2250s or 60s due to some social shift in the Empire.

Again, the Empire is highly volatile and technologically stagnant. So, I don't see an issue figuring the encounter with Prime counterparts to be some sort of impetus.

Yet no one has any issue looking at those bright displays. And I also suggest you look at TOS season one and Mirror Kirk on the Enterprise.

Are you talking about the differences in Riker's age and weight between TNG Pegasus and ENT These Are The Voyages and just got the episode titles mixed up? Because otherwise I don't know who "Commander Chubby" is referring to in Broken Bow either.

Ten years is a long time. Not sure why this is a point of contention. I don't need everything to be perfectly 100% consistent to accept the broader strokes as existing within the same time line.

But, hey, visual reboot is fine too.

Tucker in his briefs in the decon chamber with T'Pol. It was quit the joke at the time.

It was juvenile, which is why it was a joke.

Oh, I was thinking the entirely wrong kind of chubby, I see.
