When pigs fly
SNW truly respects TOS continuity!

Yeah, "Q & A(SHO)" is all reused sets and "Ask Not(SHO)" uses just one new set piece, the Enterprise's Main Engineering, which was radically overhauled, made smaller in scale and much closer to TOS for SNW.
No. The concept of canon comes out of religion and academia. Canon is a body of work whose legitimacy is declared by a recognized authoritative body - in this case, successive Star Trek production offices and the "owners" of the "intellectual property."
They are the arbiters of what counts and what doesn't.
They did base the transporter pad in SNW off the modifications they did to the DSC one for Q&A.
Or when you learn to have an open mind.
Honestly, if visual continuity means so much to you, then vote with your dollar. Don't subscribe to Paramount Plus, and go and subscribe to Disney Plus, which recreates everything in their star franchise down to exact set recreations and deepfakes. Otherwise, I'm not sure what else there is to say.
Indeed. More fans should do this.

Visually I'd do more than a few things differently. But none of it violates canon.
Though there are often different denominations with their own authority structures and their own differing canons.
Maybe we will start to see something like this happen with pop culture franchises in a few more decades when (if?) these intellectual properties ever become public domain. But the entertainment industry will undoubtedly make sure that doesn't happen.
Not to be pedantic, but the expression is actually "pore over." Much different meanings there.

As for questions of TAS's 'canonicity' which were mentioned earlier, evidently the main reason that Roddenberry (and/or his lawyers?) did not want it to be used as source material for newer Trek had more to do with legal questions of IP ownership and rights since one or more of the entities involved in TAS's production had gone belly-up. All that stuff must have been sorted out in recent years.

The rights returned to CBS when Filmation and it's follow-up owners went belly-up.
There was a bit of Lawyering involved as well.
If I remember correctly, Paramount ended up buying the remains of the company at a greatly reduced price. (like fire-sale price while the remains were still smoldering)
You don’t get to decide that.
So, we're agreed then that SNW respects TOS continuity.
I dunno. Jeff Hunter’s Pike never had The Hair.
Silver gooseneck viewers or I'm boycotting.
My open mind says reboot.
Your open mind isn't in charge of Star Trek.
Most of us here have "open" minds. Most of us also realize what's officially canon in Trek even if we don't like certain aspects of it.
