Poll How positive are you about Discovery now?

[Yminale]

This.

Of the eras we've seen in Trek, the TOS era is one of the least explored.

So did all those TOS books, animated series and comics disappeared.

 

[Guy Gardener]

With luck, eventually.

Don't count

Non canon.

To canon, who cares. They were licensed ST products. The most important question is did you enjoy the work. Let's also remember that the animated series had some influence.

This is not in dispute.

Well then you can't argue that TOS is the least explored.

A lot of them are really good, too.

So what?

Don't be ridiculous.

You have over six hundred hours of "modern Trek" and about eighty hours of TOS. Simple, and done.

Sure I can.

Only if you ignore the books, comic, video games, animate series. It's irrelevant that they aren't canon. Canon it self is meaningless. The rights holder (CBS) determines "canon". Fans don't have a say.

Which is why the books, comic, video games, animate series are ignored.

Considering the TNG era got just as many (if not more) Books and comis, etc. - we're still back to the basic 21 TV seasons on 24th Century Trek vs 3 (or maybe 3 1/2 if you count TAS) TV seasons for 23rd century era Trek.

The claim was explored not what was canon or influential.

Which means technically Enterprise (TV) is the least explored period. Or the Kelvin timeline

I don't count the books, comics or video games. YMMV

 

[Guy Gardener]

Every time one of the other series explores something that originated in TOS, that series is exploring TOS.

800 hours of trek, and 600 hours is Klingons (B'Elanna + Worf + everything else).

I applaud you sir

Nah, the last time we saw a Klingon in Star Trek was Day of the Dove.

 

[Mudd]

Yep.

They stretched for that point, and came up short.

Anyway, doesn't look like we'll be revisiting "modern Trek" any time soon - too much to explore back in TOS times.
