Star Trek isn’t Star Trek, but on occasion you may find that it’s Star Trek.

The whole idea of “Canon” is a comforting self delusion and lie.
Let it go. Enjoy what’s in front of you. Stop getting distracted by things that don’t really matter to the story at hand. That’s how TOS did it.BunnyKnuckles@startrek.website 1 year ago

TOS is underrated

ALL Star Trek is underrated.
Star Trek should have been the property that influences the entire culture of the United States of America, like how Doctor Who influences the culture of the United Kingdom. Instead, US culture is based around Star Wars and Star Trek is regulated to a bunch of punchlines that normal people know just enough to understand.

I mean there’s nothing wrong with your second point about enjoying what you like and not getting distracted by minutiae, buuuut unlike other franchises Star Trek quite literally does have an official canon:

I do like that they sort of explained the Klingon Empire was getting really into genetic experimentation. It kind of ties in the DS9 tribbles episode as seen here.
The simple "We do not discuss it with outsiders" line is great. Which actually makes me want to watch more DS9...
Anyway... some of the continuity issues are explained away in the second season? Sort of?
It's still my least watched trek. I've even watched more of the Animated Series than Discovery.
USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 1 year ago
Care to expand on what specific continuity issues you’re concerned about?
chaogomu@kbin.social 1 year ago
The main one would be, in 53 years of Trek before Discovery, Spock never mentioned a sister.
Which is mostly of explained at the end of Season 2 of Discovery.
If you just noped out in Season 1, which a lot of the more conservative sort of trekie did, then you'd miss that.

Worf's Klingon prosthetics literally changed between season 1 and seasons 2-7 of TNG. This obviously raises serious continuity issues about whether seasons 2-7 of TNG are even canon...

Give him a break, he was still in gene therapy for the augment virus

Worf went through puberty.

I like to imagine that Discovery takes place in the Kelvinverse rather than the main timeline
USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 1 year ago
There would be actual canon issues if that was the case as opposed to the mostly imagined ones that people bring up.

My only complaint is the time wasted crying as a Klingon bird of prey decloaks behind them.
USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 1 year ago
Which episode was that?
mactan@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
10/10 characters and casting, but wtf is going on with the writing

Star Trek Enterprise is the *only * canon Star Trek show.
The Kelvin Timeline follows it and mentioned Admiral Archer’s prized beagle.
The Original Series, The Next Generation, Voyager, Deep Space Nine, Prodigy, Picard, and Lower Decks had their canon overwritten by time travel from the movies and retroactive continuity. Discovery, while also a prequel and giving some nods to ENT in later seasons, is now in a branched off timeline of the future. Star Trek Strange New Worlds also treats Enteprise as canon (and give homages to it), but is also branched out in a different timeline now with what they changed from Khan’s origin.

I’ve always been of the opinion that something is cannot if the owners say it is. Doesn’t mean I like it but I accept it. This is coming from the person who doesn’t like that they don’t respect ship names and registrations in Picard S3. Excelsior is NCC-2000 (insert Letter) no 90-odd thousand and something! /Rant
