Exactly. They'll put more spam filters on the damn thing so it'll take 20 minutes to "beam someone up", and that will eventually lead to the faster personal transporter.
My mind is still boggled at the idea that a child screaming after watching their mother die of radiation poisoning is referred to as "a crying brat" or "a tantrum" online. Like, watch YOUR mother die and hear those words if you dare shed a tear.
That‘s my point - Mulan is historical. For me there is a fictitious „present time“ in Star Trek. Discovery and Strange New Worlds are prequels to that but it keeps moving forward as a whole. Each his own but I only care for the development of the world that‘s established and not for an 800 year time jump.
Even without Disco in the 32nd century or Voyager and Enterprise having time travel adventures with future versions of the Federation, you should know damn well watching Picard the Federation or Earth aren't going to be destroyed and Starfleet will continue to exist, for the simple fact that the heroes always win. Like, do you even fiction? Ever?
Star Trek 2009 destroyed Vulkan - and there‘s a difference in what you expect and what you know.
People like all sorts of things.
Only because Abrams was trying to ape Star Wars. Vulcan was Alderaan. And regardless, if they followed the original plan, then Vulcan would have been restored in the third movie.
Well, one way to look at Star Trek (I think I've brought this up elsewhere on the board at some point) is to think of it all as historical reenactments of a fictional far future civilisation. I've been doing that for a while (possibly since as far back as TNG, but certainly since Enterprise), and it gets around many of of the canon issues by imagining that creative license is often taken, so each episode/film only gives the broad strokes of what is meant to have happened. I find it helps with visual changes, tech differences and contradictory dialogue.
