So much for respecting other folks opinions.
Still a bad analogy, since that's just a matter of pronunciation, which is of little difference, other than maybe confusing the person you're talking to.
What he SHOULD have said was "if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, then it's a duck."
But even then, it could just be a guy in a duck costume.
It is or it isn't-- there is not interpretation. And if the producers say it's not a reboot, then it isn't.
People seem to take this the wrong way. I didn't call anyone stupid. I said, if you pronounce the word "potawto" you're stupid. I doubt anyone here does that.
But why do you care so much either way? You seem to have your whole sense of being wrapped up in people seeing things the way you do.
Just let it go. You can't bend people to your will.
You tried to make it look like something else, but it's clear you're also applying it to his opinion of DSC being a reboot, so infraction for flaming. Comments to PM.
You've gotten enough verbal warnings about knocking off the hostility towards criticism of DSC, so trying to skirt around it with "clever" wordplay isn't going to fly.
No matter how it's pronounced, they taste great in fry form!
Wait, I'm getting off track here. Anyway, I really don't have much concern anymore about what is or is not a reboot. The Craig Bond movies are considered a reboot, and save for Quantum of Solace, I've enjoyed them and would have even if it were just a new actor continuing the series or if it were starting the film series all over again.
Same goes for me here. It's Star Trek, and that means it's telling a story some time in the future.
I'll go back on one thing: to me, a true reboot would be if this were to retell the stories of Kirk and Spock or Picard and crew. But this is another ship with people we never knew before in a timeframe we didn't see before.
Let's call the whole thing off.
Thank you! Now I'm thinking of the whole song!
You say oysters and I say er-sters!
Maybe...but there isn't anything stupid about pronouncing tomato "to-MAH-toh", espescially if your're a Brit.
While "to-mah-to" is common, I don't think I've ever heard anyone actually ever say "potahto", other that that song or references similar to the song.
It's not "poe-tay-toe" OR "poe-tah-toe."
It's "seasoned steak fries with dipping sauce." You heathens.

DSC is not a reboot, because that would imply that there is a universe where Cadet Tilly's hair does not exist....and we're just not strong enough to deal with that.
Am I a bad person for having a huge crush on her?
We saw exactly one Federation starship in the entirety of TOS, so who knows what else was flying around. We didn't even see a Klingon ship until the last season.
The holograms have not demonstrated any solidity at all. They're just light projections, the same as holograms today or in early TNG outside the holodeck. Sarek doesn't interact with the table at all, his image is just projected so that it appears to be sitting.
But the remastered episodes gave us the awesome VW Space Bus from "The Way to Eden".
Klingons use the same D7/K'tinga battlecruiser and a virtually identical Bird of Prey from ENT in 2151 through to DS9 ending in 2375.
Yet in 2256, the Klingon houses, which have been scattered for a century, put all those ship designs away, built entirely new ships and fleets and then retired them all in 10 years and went back to the Battlecruisers and birds of prey.
And the Federation, who use the same old Reliant, Grissom and Excelsior ship designs for 100+ years decide never ever to bring out the DSC ship classes ever again. Not even as a model on a desk or bit of artwork. Not when war breaks out and they need anything that flies.
Reason: The producers gave Trek an all-new look, incompatible with what came before or since in-universe. Why try and make it fit when the people in charge deliberately aren't?
Proof or speculation? Either way, Voyager's doctor was upset he couldn't leave sickbay at all, not that he was limited to being a ghostly apparition outside of sickbay. So it's moot.
The sarcophagus ship I don't mind. It's supposed to be a centuries-old derelict to begin with and belongs to traditionalists and religious zealots who don't pursue military careers or become soldiers with access to the best and most modern ships and equipment the Empire has to offer.
The rest of the Klingon armada, though, I didn't care for from a stylistic perspective. Ugly ships that didn't interest me much less grab my attention.

I just wonder if it would've killed them to toss one D-7 in there?
No. But we know that any excuse they would give as to why would be a copout.
Of course it’s a soft reboot
Again the JJ films were a full reboot
These are a soft reboot
Full reboot wipes away just about everything and leaves a clean slate
In the case of the jjverse it was done terribly
In a soft reboot the history is more or less intact but the creators can update the look, create new alternate avenues, but the main universe is more or less in tact and followed.
Ok,. Spock gets a sociopathic sister, ok he had a sociopathic brother we didn’t know about for 30 yrs either
Imagine Shatner Kirk, Nimoy Spock, Kelly Bones in updated uniforms, in roughly the same exact enterprise (exterior looks wise) only 800 m long with updated yet vaguely familiar interiors
Having all the same and more adventures (but with a murderey harry mudd and Klingons with giant white and purple California raisin heads flying around in Halo ships)
In this soft reboot all this is happening
It’s all good, just don’t f”ck up the exterior design of the Connie

What's with all the necro threads?
In any case, reboot doesn't have to mean clean state. Reboot (like computer reboot) usually doesn't wipe the hard drive and start from scratch. Sometimes you can just reboot to just make the whole system run better.
