    It occurs to me that I posted while too tired. I saw the reaction to 200k posts and thought they were talking about this thread! Not cooleddie's post count.

    Either way, we've made the newbies aware of some Long Lost Classics never to be seen again.

    To round it off with one more blast from the TrekBBS Past, I bet Enterpriser would've had a post count of 1,000,000 by now.

    By now Enterpriser would have achieved full self-awareness and taken over all global defense computer networks. He'd have initiated a launch of all trolling at other message boards and brought about the end of the Internet as we know it.

    Canon and the Prime timeline aren't the same thing. Either he just used sloppy wording or is playing word games.

    And curiously enough, one of the main things Kurtzman seems to think viewers want to learn more about vis-a-vis "canon" is Burnham's connection to Spock. Whereas so far as I've noticed, everyone seems to agree that fits in with no particular problem (although not everyone's happy about it).

    Sounds like sloppy wording to me. They already said that it was prime so there's no reason to hide behind word games now.

    Big mistake. As the producers of the show they do not owe the audience anything when it comes to creativity and production values, be like GR with his Klingon explanation when asked about the difference between TOS and TMP.

    After seeing Pike's uniform and his captain's chair on the Enterprise bridge, it's clear to me this is not the Prime Universe as we know it. It really should have been decided for me when they showed the Enterprise in the season finale, but I can't consider this Prime. It's cool and modern for our TV audience of the 21st century and neat to see, but it's just not taken directly from TOS, which is needs to be to be in the Prime Universe. And that's fine.

    I don't think they've shown the Enterprise bridge yet. The shots we see are him on the Discovery bridge.

    Maybe it was visible on one of the earlier set pictures?

    Pike wasn't in those shots though, so the point is still mute.

    I'm thinking the one where everyone* thought Quinto was on set because someone with a blue shirt was vaguely in the frame.

    Now that the sporedrive has Serious Consequences, ie in the months they've been gone, extra-dimensional beings are breaking into the galaxy, they are going to shelve the drive very fast once this is over, and the Enterprise's part in all this will start to form the prime-ISH things we know.

    No problem. I've tripped over that one a few times in my life. :eek:

    That would be one way to stop the other galactic powers from trying to harness its power again, the threat of galactic Armageddon.
