The literalist in me is confused. "Apart" means separate or not together. "A part" means together. I choose the latter in the context of this discussion. However, the ambiguity is amusing. It's a funny word.
I think we just need to accept the fact that this is a full reboot.
- Thread starter The Rock
- Start date
Even in business correspondence these days, I see people writing "apart" when they actually mean "a part." These things have opposite meanings. I tried to explain it to a co-worker and just got a blank look.
And then there's "alot"...
Anyway, I take at face value the notion that STD is supposed to take place narratively in a universe that also includes the events of TOS, even though things are depicted differently visually.
But to me, TOS is its own standalone thing, and it doesn't matter what the rest of the Trek shows and movies do, since they're just spinoffs and the original remains unaffected.

I don't bother watching Sci-fi channel shows any more, they always end up getting cancelled without a proper ending.

Last one I watched was Dominion, it was just getting really good as well.
Never watched that one, but I enjoyed Dark Matter a bit

I wanted to give it a try but I didn't see the point as I knew it would be cancelled sooner or later.
Really? Episodes 1 - 3 are pretty much universally reviled.
Here here!
I might, especially since the first SW was designed to work on its own as a standalone story in case there were never any sequels, and ESB makes the whole setting so much more expansive and elaborite.
Considering the boatloads of money they made, not everybody was reviling them.

Largely, but not universally.
The Spore Drive works kinda the same like the Blink Drive, so perhaps Discovery and Dark Matter are set in the same universe?
(Prime, of course

The DSC drive is pure up Iconan tech that will end badly.
Gods, Zoie Palmer is the most phenomenal actress ever. Unless she can’t play anything else.
I'm glad someone else feels the same way. I had to break my writing partner of "alot" syndrome. Because you don't write "alittle", "abunch", "acantaloupe", or "aporkchop", so don't write "alot".Even in business correspondence these days, I see people writing "apart" when they actually mean "a part."

I gave all three passing grades with the third getting the highest of all. To say they're "universally reviled" is like the blanket statement that Voyager is more popular than Enterprise. In some ways, yes. With many fans, yes. But if one thinks the opinions of a few hundred Trek nerds on a message board reflect the general state of the franchise or any one series in particular then that person may be sorely mistaken.
Remember guys, "Into Darkness" is the worst Trek movie ever because of 100 guys at a convention in a panel run by a guy with an axe to grind about reboot Trek.
