Nope.

Ugh. Nerdrotic and Doomcock the Menninists Galore.
It’s the new idiom. Every era of cinema has its own peculiarities. Compare The Big Sleep (Hawks, 1946) with The Long Goodbye (Altman, 1973). Both films were based on novels by Raymond Chandler; Leigh Brackett co-wrote the screenplay for the former and wrote the latter. Two more different films you’d be hard pressed to find, but 27 years will do that.
Anyway, all that was said so I could post this:
Quoted for truth.Anyway, all that was said so I could post this:
UHURA: I speak thirty-seven languages. But check out my Patreon for fifty more!
PIKE: Yeah, congratulations Threepio. Do you speak Horse? I need a Horse-Whisperer. Tango's been acting really strange lately, and I really don't want to take him to the glue factory if you know what I mean.
UHURA: Horse? Am I still being hazed? You're joking, right? Horsing around?
PIKE: I never joke about my horses, Cadet.
Yeah I watched it... where does he say that sentence?
It's hard to be tolerant when a directorial style is downright unpleasant. The last 2 episodes of DSC S4 almost made me dizzy.It’s the new idiom. Every era of cinema has its own peculiarities.

IIRC Pixomondo developed it for Discovery, they even nicknamed it the holodeck, and when it's not displaying an image it has a the yellow grid lines (though I think the lines have a practical use, for camera tracking or something). Not sure if any other productions other than Discovery and SNW have used it yet.
In an earlier scene.
Ah, so not in that video, then. :|
Yeah, to be perfectly honest I didn't want to look it up and relive it. Faulty memory was bad enough.
"Now if you apologise, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it."
And just like that Pike became Colonel Potter.
Kim says "no replicators, no holodecks". But Kirk has a obvious replicator in his quarters in ST6. So TOS era is when they are introduced but we can't pin down an exact year. The TOS food slots seem a lot like replicators to me.
23rd century advancements.
All this discussion of the exact meaning of words and chronologies misses the point: the continuity continually gets retconned, and that's normal. We also can't do anything about it. Our two options are: complain for the rest of time and limit ourselves to old Trek, or learn to live with it and enjoy new Trek.
I'm going to choose a third option: complain about it when it bothers me, stop watching when it bothers me too much.
Option 2 allows this.
... That changes how hearts work, what "stopped heart" means and "fibrillation" and "defibrillation?"
No.
They should have just given it some made up name "cardiac stimulator" or something like that. Instead of "defibrillator mode" and saying Kirk's heart stopped because those are both different things.

Yeah, let me know when those become movies or TV episodes. Secondary material. Sam probably has ten different back stories in those.
Yeoman O'Reilly please report to the bridge,
That's just because, to be blunt, the people writing fiction really understand nothing of science or technology.
