If the new show doesn't have Okudagrams, it doesn't mean it's not Prime. It just means Starfleet switched from Windows to Linux sometime after Nemesis.
Discovery jumping into Kronos cave contradicts TNG Pegasus

That’s just it. Not having Okudagrams will be proof it is Prime. Including them will definitely prove it’s NOT Prime.If the new show doesn't have Okudagrams, it doesn't mean it's not Prime. It just means Starfleet switched from Windows to Linux sometime after Nemesis.
A) Nope. Seriously, you think that ignoring one line in a pretty sub par episode means the folks in charge haven't watched any Star Trek????? :
B) Nope again.
Are you saying Kirsten Beyer, Alex Kurtzman, Bryan Fuller, and Nicholas Meyer never watched any Star Trek before? Pretty remarkable, if true.
If anything, STD is loaded with *way* too many minor Star Trek references (Dorvan V, House of Kor, Vulcan Expedition, suus mahna, the list of decorated captains being just the main captains from TOS, the use of Star Charts as actual star charts, Amanda's Alice in Wonderland book...). I'm surprised they stuck a little story in between the references.
They all kept their eyes closed when making their own Treks.
T'Kuvma, when the continuity fell.
CBS profited, as it mattered not.
Picard, when the profits fell!
I assume this hypothetical computer would have all prior TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, the non-Kelvin films, and even TAS scripts in its database...
...Which means the damn thing will be destined to blow up due to a logic loop even before any DSC scripts are entered.
I think I suddenly see the solution to this whole thread title! Data has so little info about the 23rd century (and thus doesn't know Discovery already went into a planetary body) because Dr. Soong purposely excluded uploading such info into Data's brain.
Soong made the mistake of uploading all ENT, TOS, TAS, DSC, and even movie info into Lore's brain, and the logic and continuity contradictions drove Lore mad.
This is a logical assumption.
Nonsense.
Every single line from every single ep doesn't need to be treated as Holy Writ. STAR TREK is a series of a TV series, not an encyclopedia. It fudges things sometimes and always has.
And, as noted, STAR TREK has never been that fundamentalist about such things. Heck, in the sixth movie, Kirk and McCoy act as though they've never encountered a shape-shifter before, despite "Whom Gods Destroy."
Does that mean THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY is out of continuity? Of course not.
will you marry me?
Wut? Okudagrams are probably the most original thing Star Trek has ever done. Dude is a fucking genius.
The key thing is, there’s a difference between making a fudge, and just setting fire to some sugar in a pan. The problem is always when us fans end up trying to scrape that mess off the pan.
I like the way the real world has basically been trying to dance as close as possible to okudagrams without having to credit mike in anyway. The Windows 8 interface onwards really dances on the head of that pin. Apple when it dropped the skeumorphics too. Google..they just let it be someone else’s problem and stuck with the most boring icons known to mankind.
I like Okudagrams fine, but we had 15 straight years of that, I’d much prefer a new look than just regurgitating that aesthetic.
