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

We're Star Trek fans. Without the small stuff to argue over there wouldn't be a TrekBBS.

Not unless you use a boycott hashtag and scream about the TOS Enterprise looking too primitive.
Now you're TrueFanning.

You've been an admin for only two months?
Gee, how much do you post?! How many posts do you make in nearly two years?
cooleddie74 isn't just a member of TrekBBS. He is the TrekBBS.
People are still trying to work that out. Even Stephen Hawking gave up because the numbers were too outlandish.
Small stuff is the continuity issues on TOS first season, the multiple definitions of Transwarp Drive given in various sources. Discovery starts to go beyond small stuff but the accumulation of various small things as well as some pretty major things. The difference visually between the rest of Star Trek canon and Discovery is pretty much the difference between the original Battlestar Galactica and the reboot. Except the difference is that BSG wasn't pretending to be the same. It meets all the criteria of a reboot.
I've been a Trek fan for 34 years. The one thing that has remained constant and goes back before my time is arguing over the small stuff. Any one of the non-visual things on Discovery wouldn't be a big deal. it is how many of them there were in those 15 episodes. Most of the series have a couple a season, not a couple each episode.
I'm not overly worried about the visuals. I still can't reconcile TOS to TMP. Discovery falls in that category for me.
I have yet to do this, but at some point I want to watch DSC side-by-side with the first six movies to see how the look "feels". To see how much I can suspend disbelief.
With the Klingons, I'd pretend they went from shaved heads in DSC to short hair in TMP.

If something ever happens to me this board soon follows. You guys better hope I learn the secret of immortality or you're all going to be getting your fixes over on Wordforge.
Truly a fate worse than death.
Except in TMP they went out of their way to explain why the Enterprise looks different than it did in TOS. I don't see that happening in DSC.
I don't need an explanation
