What are we going to do if it is as bad as he says though. What if it rewrites the old shows and makes it clear this isn't some alternate timeline. Those shows are gone for good? I mean do we at this point just go full in on head canon and accept nothing done by CBS is true canon and it's now it's own thing even if they insist it isn't?

I'm gonna build my own time machine and make sure his parents give him the name Slappy. 
I'm sure that the writers of Star Trek Discovery are really upset that they guy who wrote Free Enterprise is mad at them because of what he thinks is going to happen. Remember Free Enterprise, it was Swingers if they were pathetic manchildren and William Shatner showed up and rapped.
No, that's the Wizard of Oz.
I wouldn't have even remembered that movie if Shatner hadn't rapped Shakespeare.
That was one of my birthday presents. I got the two disk special edition. I love the movie. It puts out the interesting idea of, What if you had some trek fans that were as cool and hip and happening as the guys in "Swingers" and then William Shatner enters their life.

I wish I was that lucky. The classic tale of boy meets girl, boy loses girl because he's a fucking child and didn't pay the light bill, and boy gets girl back because he promised to get a job and pay his bills like an adult.
They weren't cool or hip. There were just played by attractive people.
Fanboys is the infinitely superior film.
I've never seen it.
Relish in your innocence. Enjoy the brief respite from the pain that will consume us all.
It had likeable characters instead of insufferable assholes.
Or could be absolute bullshit given we know nothing about the episode.
Fanboys remembered what it was supposed to be about: friendship and helping somebody find joy.
Given the source, there's no implications to be inferred or assumed. RMB's got an axe to grind with the new iteration of the franchise, that gives him zero credence in my eyes.
Didn't see that one either.
Oh noes! Star Trek might do something vague that affects the fictional world it exists in causing literal minded geeks' assumptions to be changed. All from the guy who's mad that Paramount didn't make his friend's fan fiction canon.
Oddly enough Shatner is in it too.
