NuTrek's big, controversial premises

As far as not liking all of Trek...consider the Mustang. Most of the fans prefer certain generations over others. I like the Mustang II, but most motorheads don't.

There’s bands I like and some albums by bands I like better than others.

All those albums were done by those bands though. Even with line-up changes, I usually consider bands to still be the same band.

Usually…
 
Regardless of how I see it, Picard showing multiple variations of the Enterprise really isn’t any kind of violation. CBS Trek violates canon in a whole bunch of different ways, this simply isn’t one of them.
By definition, CBS Trek can't violate canon, though it can have continuity errors or issues.

Sorry if I'm being nitpicky, but so many people misuse the word "canon" that it can be hard to tell what one means to say when they use the word incorrectly.

Is it the same band if all the members have moved on?
 
It would have been surreal if over the course of SNW the Enterprise as depicted initially in DISCO gradually was "upgraded" until by the final episode it more closely resembled the Enterprise of TOS.

"Why are we making everything more primitive looking?"
"Advances in technology mean we no longer need so much active monitoring of ship's systems; everything's becoming simpler."

They already lampshaded that a bit when Pike orders the holography stripped out in DISCO S2.

I remember reading John Eaves designed the exterior with the thought that it could be turned into the TOS ship, with extra pylons to support the warp nacelles that could be removed, large impulse engines that could be replaced with smaller, more advanced ones, and no bridge dome. But that was kind of spoiled by the folks who made the CGI model making the pylons slant like on the TMP ship.

I think I also read somewhere else that the corridors we supposed to be like the TOS hallways with the panels removed and all the technology exposed, though I never got that impression from them.

Yeah, it gets weird.

There are bands I like with deliberately rotating line-ups. QotSA for example are never the same band from project to project and that’s fine.

I can’t think of a band where all of the original members moved on but I *think* there must be one.

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Everyone who recorded the first two albums are dead. The only one still living from the 73-77 era is drummer Artimus Pyle, who hasn’t played for Skynyrd since 1991.
 
Got to have someone to play Free Bird. Though, from my perspective, they aren't remotely the same band that they were in the 70's.
The last time the band had any semblance of the fire they used to have was The Last Rebel album back in 93. They still had four of the original band members then.

I imagine it was an update from Daystrom himself.
