So know you're falling back on Enterprise as a canonical source? Fascinating.

Oh no, I'm just pointing out how screwed up the keepers of Star Trek cannon are.

Star Trek canon is a myth at this point. It's been retconned to death.

Hell, Star Wars has a better organized universe than Trek.

The. Orville is looking pretty good.

To be fair it did have to kill 95% of the in-universe material off to get that way.


I'm not sure Star Trek could ever manage to fix all its retconns in the same fashion.  TNG and DS9 tried a bit, but Enterprise blundered into the canon like a bull in china shop. 

So far, Discovery is just throwing more gas on the fire that there is any real continuity.  I guess I'll have to accept it, but I'm not sure the change for change's sake path that they're taking is the best or right one. 

Consider this, right now it looks like AbramsTrek put a lot more care and effort into adhering to the look, feel and continuity of Star Trek than Discovery did.

Watched the premiere last night.  I thought it was fine, I had a hard time seeing detail on ships, everything seemed dark and the camera didn't stay on target for very long.  It didn't make me want to shell out the $6 a month for CBS Streaming, though if if was on regular CBS I'd probably keep watching for a few more episodes.

I've seen some ads for the show streaming on Netflix too, is that only outside the US or something?

Yes. Netflix bought the international rights outside the US. The deal gave CBS the money to afford the show at $6-8 million per episode.

^ lol.

For what it's worth, their review isn't nearly as negative as their opening joke would imply.

So this is a good show as long as you pretend it isn't called Star Trek.
