Me neither. Because no warp capabilities sends the galaxy back to even before TOS or for that matter ENT. Sending the Federation and other galactic powers back a couple of centuries, sure. A thousand years? No.
Actually yes.
By then every mainline Starfleet ship was capable of restarting things due to a combination of computer capacity and replicators.
The writers basically had to have the Federation purposefully abandon a significant portion of their technology, and then have most of them sit around in a bubble doing pretty much nothing.
Honestly? The outlawing of anything even remotely connected to temporal technology probably did more damage then the Burn.
After all, prior to that they were able to generate rifts capable of instantly taking them across the galaxy and build ships that were bigger on the inside.
Still nope.
Don't know what else to say. I just don't see the catastrophic canon blows to the franchise some do.
Same. Not sure when I was supposed to start worrying overly about canon but I missed the memo and learned to roll with it. It's really done wonders for my blood pressure.

Plus you just get to enjoy things more.
I mean? Realistically they're not.

Trek makes Paramount way too much money to drop as a franchise at this point, so the worst case scenario in all this is literally just the network telling the writers to make Discovery's future an alternate timeline like they did with nuTrek.
More irrelevant hate bait.
Tell me about it. I would pay good money to never hear the word "canon" again.
Remember when we watched this stuff for fun?
I still do. I do have a camera with that name brand, though.
I want to know how you can violate canon with an 800 year timeskip. Something being drastically different in the far future is an untold story not a contradiction.
This. This right here.
No society, culture, or tech stays the same over that time frame. Things CHANGE.
New stories, new opportunities, new ways to draw us in with questions about how THAT happened.
This isn't a time where Seven of Nine was made captain last year. All of those people are DUST. (I mean, unless Daystrom nabbed their corpse.)
Except the Doctor, and Agnes Jurati, and Wesley Crusher, and Goodgey, and all the Medusans, and all the Prophets, and all the Changelings, and all the Synths, and all the Exocomps, and all the El-Aurians, and all the Lanthanites, and all the Vorta clones.
I probably missed a few there, but you get my point.
Pedantry?
"We're everywhere."
Not anymore.
Not anymore.
My take on the subject is that the Burn is meant to have essentially begun a domino effect. The world of replicators, unlimited power, and unlimited resources depended on planets all cooperating in the Federation. However, once you've disrupted all those supply lines and gotten rid of 99% of the galaxy's space travel vessels, then huge chunks of the ability to rebuild will be curtailed.
And that's assuming people DID rebuild because the theme of DISCO was that no one wanted to become space travel dependent again until they knew what caused the Burn. Which means that planets tried to become self-sufficient again or failed completely.
Then the technology goes from Sufficiently Advanced to Analog to whatever.
As we saw in the pilot, worlds now have actual famine even under the Federation's control.

i was on this BBS when ENT came out, and the forum wars of ENT's catastrophic offences against holy canon were the stuff of legend.

I was younger then, and i did have issues with ENT and its relationship to canon, but as you get older, you just roll with it. It's just a TV show.
