we’re the odd ones for saying “but wait how is this supposed to take place in the same timeline?”

Huge if true. Can you provide some examples of people saying that? I can’t seem to find any in this thread.

I’ve yet to find any rule stating only that which was commented on this post is valid evidence. You’d have to have your head in the sand to miss that the current iteration of Star Trek stems back to the 2009 reboot movie which literally was marketed as “its not your father’s Star Trek” and who’s director continually complained that he found TNG and TOS to be “too cerebral”. Alex Kurtzman, the guy in charge now, entered the franchise with '09. I don’t think he’s got the same mentality per se, but given that pre-Kurtzman trek saw past sets and props faithfully recreated and even celebrated (Relics from TNG, Trials and Tribble-ations from DS9, In a Mirror Darkly from ENT), while the current iteration, with a few exceptions (Beyond, Lower Decks, Prodigy), feels almost embarassed that it’s a spinoff of a campy show.

  Plus with the success of The Orville, it shows that you don’t need to do a ‘gritty reboot’ to be successful in modern times. The Orville is basically off-brand TNG.

    I so desperately wish that the Orville writers (IE, the DS9 and TNG writers I liked the most) were writing for current trek. So much of the criticisms levelled at the Berman-era are rectified here, and the show doesn’t serve as propaganda for the US state department.
    
    We follow up with planets (or get more explicit narration about how they didn’t just abandon some random planet to fend for itself after “fixing” a problem)
    
    Characters remember things from past episodes
    
    Gay and trans storylines
    
    Union politics make more sense than Federation politics
    
    All without:
    
    Promoting the space NSA (Section 31)
    
    Promoting the view that governments have no choice but to act in bad faith so its up to Great Individuals to ensure they stay on the correct path

    Personally I’m glad those transphobic fucks aren’t allowed anywhere near Star Trek.
