[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [qb] Trying to reconcile current Trek & everything before is a near impossibility, though. Even Abrams with his stupid "let's blow up Romulus" idea caused issues because there's enough discrepancies to say Nimoy!Spock didn't actually come from the OG universe, but from the future of whatever one that was. [/QUOTE][/qb] Truth. That so many want to shoehorn Romulus exploding and even the Kelvin itself into the Original Universe just makes me sad. [QUOTE] [qb] Since the Discoverse clearly follows that one, it's obvious they've become the new canon. Despite all the homages & pick-me style wanting to make it work, it can't. They want to overwrite/retcon with their new stuff, fine...but that doesn't make it universally accepted. [/qb][/QUOTE]Bingo. Kurtzman brought over the "Prime" canon concepts from the Paramount/JJ side of former-Viacom to CBS Studios, replacing the old RoddenBerman canon, and Fuller wanted to "reimagine" Trek. Between the two, it was always going to be a nightmare, and all they've accomplished is fracturing the fanbase. But, in the modern marketing mindset, even negative buzz is still buzz, and valuable when buzz is literally used as a metric. On the good side, it isn't like they had to merge canon policies when they re-merged into ViacomCBS. [/QB][/QUOTE]
