Yeah, reboot is the wrong analogy. This is more like an upgrade to, er, windows te...maybe not that, but it’s certainly nothing more drastic than a new desk top theme.

It’s all the same narrative, different appearance. Neither reboot nor reimagining.

I mean, enterprise had its fair share of continuity canon flash points, but it was never accused of being separate. This is what shows look like now.
 
"A visual and technological upgrade which ignores loads of previously established lore, leading to contradictions between series'" is what it is.

I call that a reboot.
 
I consider the TV show (not necessarily the novel(s)) a reboot and honestly don't give a damn what the producers have to say on the matter. My enjoyment/lack thereof is not at all predicated on whether it's a reboot or not, however.

since the bolded part didn't happen, can we finally rest the ridiculous reboot conspiracy theory then?

For the dozenth time, if they require pages of convoluted workarounds to fit with prior canon ("oh, the holograms are less advanced but there's nothing in the show itself depicting that, you have to imagine it!" etc), they don't really fit with that prior canon.

you don't have to imagine anything, it is right there on the screen. and I don't see how : 'hologram technology is clearly not as advanced as it was in the 24th century' is a) convoluted or b) pages long. it is one sentence. sometimes backed up with facts and reverences to the shows itself. is that really too convoluted for you?

Except we don't agree on it being "clearly not as advanced as it was in the 24th century" - which is based entirely on the holocomms being slightly fuzzy. In fact, the far more common nature of the holograms in DSC suggests the exact opposite, as does Deep Space Nine when O'Brien explicitly calls it a new technology (and if that isn't ignoring established lore I don't know what is)

But each to their own.

Every Star Trek series has one fact or another that has ignored established canon.

Stop acting like DSC is the only one.

TMP. TWOK. Star Trek 5. INS. Warp 10. Vulcan never being conquered. Klingon "disastrous first contact." And on and on it goes.
 
Never voted in this. Well after ten episodes Discovery would have been better represented as being a 'reboot'.
