Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x02 - "Wedding Bell Blues"

"Where does 'Star Trek' want to take me now?" [Leonard Nimoy about the reboot movies.]

I prefer the full quote...

"Canon is only important to certain people because they need to cling to their knowledge of the minutia. Open your mind! Be a Star Trek fan and open your mind and say 'where does Star Trek want to take me now?'"

Truer words were never spoken. The Thermian approach of treating the original episodes as historic documents that should be treated as sacrosanct does nothing but limit storytelling possibilities. Even Gene Roddenberry didn't treat the original episodes as sacrosanct or absolute.

This.

Continuity can be good but used as a bludgeoning instrument against a story misses the point of the story.
