If someone in the know at NASA knew that the CIA was in possession of spore drive technology, it's likely they'd at least put out some feelers.
I'm not sure why this requirement for spore drive use gets repeated. It is very clearly stated in DSC that both Ripper and the genetic enhancements to...
Very beginning of DIS, it was unquestionably described as a computer processing power problem -- Discovery's computer wasn't fast enough for more than very short jumps. The Tardigrade/Tardigrade DNA was a workaround.
After 930 years of computing improvements (hell, after 100 years of advances...
Captain Wesley Crusher.
Like in DS9 "Visionary", the instant Dax said there was possibly a singularity nearby, I immediately thought "There's a cloaked warbird." Took them the rest of the episode to figure it out.

At this point, I literally want the characters in-universe to be aware of canon.
Tilly: "We found a way to recharge the time crystal and get back to our own time."
Burnham: "We can't do that. Canon dictates that this ship and its spore drive never existed."
Maybe they start the Temporal Cold...
Only part of that quote is Pike, the other part is Saru, so it was Saru who didn't want the issue addressed at that moment.
Another thing to note is that right before Tilly and the gang tell Burnham they're going to stay, Pike calls Georgiou to the ready room and we're never told why he called...
Anyone who claims that "But anyone who claims this is an appropriate and respectful reimagination has an awful taste and no sense of Star Trek." isn't an insult has awful interpersonal skills and has no sense of respect for their fellow human.
No offense.
This explains why Scotty absolutely lost his shit when M-5 did something as innocuous as turn off the lights in an unoccupied part of the ship. Starfleet must have been super ultra paranoid about even automatic power saving.
Gives a new perspective to multitronic units one through four being...
I hadn't thought about "hollywood reality" as a concept, but it makes total sense and I think that's a good way of looking at things.
For myself, I've generally always considered the Star Trek universe to be a separate universe from ours because that's how I look at all of fiction. At the same...
I can think of a few ways to rationalize this in my head. Perhaps on newer starships, increased weapons yields or shield reserves might have taken some of the energy budget that had been previously allocated for holocomms on older ships.
Or differences in the design of internal energy...
The only thing we know about the holographic communicators in "For The Uniform" were that they were new for the Defiant and the Malinche and that Eddington had stolen one. The characters made a big deal about it, but we really don't know how old that technology is, especially since, given the...
Have to be honest, not the Spock I know. First, IMO, the Spock of 2387 has good reason to surmise that the prime timeline is still there, unharmed. He has reason to logically believe this, partially based on what we know Starfleet science knows from "Parallels" and also because Spock could have...
