As others have pointed out, there's nothing in Discovery or Picard that backs up this point, that Alex Kurtzman is somehow ushering into canon a half century of printed works. Nothing. And to go back to my broader point - this discussion serves as a perfect example of why it's dangerous to allow reverence for canon to become such a prime motivator that it gets in the way of telling an engaging story. It becomes less about getting into / enjoying the story and whatever broader truths we might want to take away from it, and more about getting angry because that shuttle in episode 3F15 that Character A takes off in (after making a heartbreaking choice between two morally grey options that could be quite a thought provoking story) has two intake manifolds on the port nacelle when episode 2H20 clearly states that two intake manifolds on the one engine nacelle causes explosive subspace inversions and this STINKS THIS IS TOTAL BS I've read my Star Trek tech manuals, timeline books and am as happy as the next person to go plot-holing. But I have to say that this elevation of canon just threatens to turn everything boring because it becomes an extended exercise in "What about this?" "No, you can't do that." "Well what about this?" "No, you can't do that either." Sandboxes are only fun if we're allowed to play in them. If they're fenced off because someone's worried we won't play in them right, what's the point? [/QB][/QUOTE]
