^Interesting, thanks for posting. I didn't know about the license stuff, it sorta explains the crappy visuals in the Jar Jar train wreck (but not the bad writing). I also didn't know about the Ghostbusters-eque defense of crying racism at negative opinions about Discovery.

Now I'm actually starting to look forward to The Orville.

Why not, it looks far better than Discovery at this point.  :hide:

I just don't get why they're not being upfront about it.  I would be a lot more comfortable with what I've seen so far if CBS would just say "Hey, this a reimagining and reboot, and it's not beholden to any prior continuity" rather than constantly blowing smoke up our arses about how this is a part of the canon.

(Was going to post that Midnight's Edge video, but Sir Andrew beat me to it.)

The showrunners are now straight up lying to fans, too.

Actual situation according to evidence: after 6 eps produced, the producers bring in a team of continuity experts to go over scripts for the purpose of helping make sure the new eps don't resemble stories from prior Trek eps and films. (A daunting task, and probably necessary.)

Imaginary situation according to producers: they care so much about keeping continuity that they brought in a team of continuity fans to help with that.

...so, a mutually exclusive opposite explanation. That bodes well.  L:-)
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

I don't know if I will be able to stomach a star trek that is even more PC and more action than TNG.

Maybe there is some truth to the 'back up' series?

I already had low expectations, but I still died a little on the inside when I watched this. 

Bring on Orville!
