They're already on - quite a few mistakes, but Ephraim is very cute and sweet.
There is a very odd scene where the saucer has rotated away from facing forward, and it's the A that's destroyed in SFF over the Genesis planet
The "A" was not self-destructed over Genesis. That was a refit ORIGINAL 1701. They got the A at the end of Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Same ship, newer components.
Well, WE know that. But whoever made the short didn't. Or how to properly align the CGI mesh with the textures on top of it.

Yeah, that figures. I didn't care for that one as it's like TNG's - "The Inner Light" (which I also dislike and don't understand many fan's love of an episode that could have been a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode) - in that honestly, STAR TREK proper has little to do with the actual story told - plus it's depressing to think that in a week or so her father who told her that story will be killed before her eyes (as she peeks through the closet she's hiding in; and for all intents, she'll believe her mother was killed too - and it's all her fault because she asked them to delay a trip so she could watch a supernova.
Another fun short. I loved all the references to TOS through Star Trek III. Finally, the return of Space Lincoln! The registry error is a bummer but it went by so fast I didn't notice it the first time through.
The hardest part for me to accept is the idea that the eggs survived through the refit.
Anyway, it's clearly not meant to be taken too seriously.

I think we all know that.........the short showed the A crashing into Genesis. That's the rub. Loved it otherwise.
Well, when a mommy Tardigrade and daddy Tardigrade love each other very much...
They might be like Tribbles, breeding without a mate.
- What I want to know is, out of all the episodes you showed me, which ones were canon and which ones weren't?
- My dear Doctor, they're all canon.
- Even the inconsistencies?
- Especially the inconsistencies.

indiewire has a behind-the-scenes featurette of the short (giacchino shared this on twitter with an acknowledgment of the accidental -A on the enterprise). there's a couple interesting tidbits here, like the original blue colored dot:
and more ripper-like, eyeless ephraim:

Another great short. Can't vote because I can't choose and neither was rubbish.
And to think... Those eggs were there the whole time.

Or the adults! Glad they went with the cuter character design.
I found this one really charming. This and "Calypso" are my favorite Short Treks so far. I hope we get more animation in this style in the future.
I just realized I never shared my thoughts on this.
I loved it, it was just a lot of silly fun. Definitely had a very Road Runner/Wiley Coyote, or Tom and Jerry vibe to it. I'm not quite sure how literally all of the episode references are meant to be taken, but I did get a kick out of them.
