What Has Discovery Added To Star Trek Lore?

We could be seeing a single person's hallucination in that scene even though there appear to be 3 people interacting doesn't mean there are. Or in DS9 episode "Emissary" where sicko was seeing a storm while dax was seeing a sunny day. Who knows
Give it up. What we saw wasn't an hallucination.

Yeah hallucinations could give them that impression too.
No, no no no no.
 
Was the holodeck rec room shown in a previous TOS episode, where they weren't under the influence, to help prove it existed?

You already know the answer to that question.

So here's where we stand, most other folks willingly accept that TAS showed us a rudimentary Holodeck.
You want to claim otherwise.
Good luck with that, I hope you realize that you won't get very far with trying to convince most of the rest of us of that.

Chasing Black Moth's at night and Invisible Rainbow's seems to be your favorite pastime.
It's almost like you really enjoy being one of those beings that hide under bridges.
:rolleyes:

Also, this thread is about what DISCOVERY has ADDED to Trek lore, not what it has taken away.

I’m not watching a YouTube video that doesn’t prove your point.

They couldn’t have collectively imagined an entire room identically.

The scene wasn’t being shown from a single persons perspective either as they all acted the SAME.

The Rec Room is real, that is fact, that is canon.

The laughing gas isn't pumped through out the ship until towards the end of the episode. So it wouldn't be a factor in the various environments the people in the rec room encountered.
In "Space Seed" they flooded the ship with neural gas pretty quick.

Not necessarily. In ENT episode "Doctor's Orders" Phlox was with T'Pol even though we found out that T'Pol was also an illusion. From the audience's point-of-view she looked like she was really there with him though. We could be seeing a series of hallucinations being produced by only one of them. We're not given enough information in the episode to rule it out.

The laughing gas wasn’t pumped through the ship until after they’d been to the Rec Room, not before.

We’re given plenty, you just don’t want to believe it because you don’t agree with it.
 
That's nice,but has nothing do with "Practical Joker".
In "Practical Joker" there was so much laughing gas in the air that they were passing out. All we know from that scene is that they saw a series of illusions in that rec room. The illusions could have been induced by the gas rather than artificially created. The crew were not able to communicate with them while they were in that room possibly from being too high from the gas.

Yet no one else on the ship were suffering from illusions yet they also were gassed.

No they couldn’t have. Look up the timeline of the episode, that all happened after the rec room incident.

maybe they were, we don't know their state of mind. They were laughing a lot, passing out, floating, and seeing fog.

The environmental systems were being messed with before they entered the rec room and we have confirmation that were being being affected by nitrous oxide while they were seeing a blizzard without any snow accumulating on them.
