^ That's just a different way to describe a sequel, and is also extremely misleading besides.
Poll Do You Believe STD Is Actually a Reboot [After Seeing It]?
- Thread starter Kane_Steel
- Start date
I made it clear that a soft reboot is set in the same stories as the original. Just like how Discovery is set in the same timeline as TOS. The changes in costumes and makeup are minor details. It doesn’t matter how much some fans scream this is a reboot, it isn’t. That’s coming from the people making it.
It's no more of a 'reboot' than ST:TMP was in 1979.
Okay, can we all actually take a step back and admit the special effects of the sixties AREN'T actually canon?
Is that totally insane?
As for being a reboot, technically, this is before Star Trek (2009) so it's like Enterprise and canon to both.
If you need a reason, blame the Temporal Cold War.

Actually ST2009 starts in 2233 with the destruction of the U.S.S. Kelvin. In that universe Kirk first meets Pike in 2255 and 4 years later has command of the 1701.
ST: D starts in 2256 of the 'Prime' Universe.

I stand corrected!
That explains everything!
INCLUDING THE ORC KLINGONS! Clearly, we'll find out they were affected by the Narada's research!
TMP definitely was visually a reboot.

Reposted with an addition:
Kirk: Spock, you never told me you had a sister.
Spock: She was the first Starfleet mutineer and caused the Klingon-Federation War which lasted decades.
Kirk: ....huh.
Spock: I also have a brother who believes God exists at the center of the galaxy.
Kirk: I'm starting to see why you don't talk about your family much.
Spock: You were there when my fiance tried to kill me.
Kirk: Anything else I should know about her?
Spock: She was involved in the creation of a biological instantaneous teleportation system.
Kirk: That's...ridiculous.
Spock: I remind you we've encountered a stone edifice that took us back to the 1930s.
Kirk: Please don't ever bring that up again.
Spock: Yes, Captain.
Kirk: I will bring up the time someone stole your bra--
Spock: Understood.

Show me one thing in TMP that resembled the old television series, aside from the classic shuttlecraft added in the 2001 edition.
Not one computer display, uniform, prop, ship or anything remained unchanged.
Trek 2009 happens in 2258 of the Kelvin timeline. The first three episodes of DSC take place in 2256 of the Prime timeline. nuKirk and his crew know nothing of the events in the new series nor practically any other major historical events since 2233 that Lorca and Burnham are familiar with because history since the attack on the U.S.S. Kelvin has been radically altered.
Enterprise is canon and in the history books of both, but DSC and Trek 2009 are in completely different timelines and continuities.
Redesigning something does not count as "rebooting" it.
Uhuras earpiece.
Okay, the prop department forgot to made one for the first movie and they had to use one from the series. Maybe a blessing because the earpiece prop stood nearly unchanged in all following TOS era movies.
Of course they were.
Just no. Why not quit trying to tell other people how they feel or why they feel the way they do. Concentrate on why you believe this fits in with the "Prime" timeline. Beyond "because CBS says so!!!"
No, fans determine how they interpret the material they are given. Even if I loved Discovery, it still doesn't mesh with TOS. Unless you want to tell me why, eight years later, women go on about being frightened and standing behind the men who are their protectors. Or how we now have officers who have climbed the ranks of Starfleet referring to others as "animals" and "garbage".
There's more to whether or not something fits beyond names and dates on a calendar.
How would you have solved this, while intending to make a series in this timeline? Clearly the world has changed since the 60s, and any series will be influenced by the time it is made.
