The difference I see is that there is more enjoyment in the nitpicking than the actual product itself. So, it comes across as constantly finding fault.

Everything does fit, if you think of it more as a pile of Play-do rather than a Jigsaw Puzzle.But...but...but...IT'S STAR TREK --- EVERYTHING MUST FIT!!!

I finally got a chance to watch these. I loved Ephraim and Dot. The music, the narrative flow, the stylized condensation of the timeline, everything was just right. (though I would have preferred the original Enterprise design)
"The Girl Who..." was done very well, but didn't appeal to me as much as E&D.
So are these supposed to be canon? There were tardigrade eggs sitting around on the original Enterprise for fifteen years, and the whole refit process missed them?

My problem with "The Girl Who Made the Stars" is that knowledge of the stars was a gift to the girl who was the actual main character, given to her by a secondary character. It was not at all a story that fit the title or vice versa. If she had completely discovered the stars herself in the dark, that would have been different, but in the story as told she needed help, a lot of help.
They used the digital model from Discovery so, angled pylons. The same digital model from Discovery also makes an appearance in Star Trek: Picard as a hologram in Star Fleet HQ. Looks like Discovery's 'Pike' Enterprise is the new 'normal'.
Yes, I mentioned that in the other Enterprise thread. They did that very intentionally to establish the retcon and cement it as hard-canon now.
No the Discoprise is only Pike era. Ephraim cannot tell one universe's ship from another,IMO. It is how he perceived the multiverse.
The Discovery Enterprise was displayed in Picard as a holo display over Picards head as he entered Starfleet HQ.
There's no Multiverse aspect at play in this..Discoprise is a visual retcon/reboot of the TOS era Enterprise.
the denial is strong with this one
I think it is time for a "There. Are Four. Lights." meme.
"I...see...STRAIGHT UP...pylons!"
Seriously, though; I wonder if it's really meant to retcon an entire TV show or if it's just for the budged ("We already have an Enterprise model and set ready to go; better to use then then to spend money to create new ones that look like they did in the TV show).
