…Moopsy!..

Looks new to me. If I had to guess it’s whoever picked up Badgey making their move.

You know, as a big FF8 booster, this makes me reconsider some stuff.

1 and 3 are both great, and I’ll go against the grain and say that 4 is pretty mediocre.

Wouldn’t prime!Chekov be like 12 around this time frame?

None of these “very special message” episodes either

I mean, barring the single best episode of the show.

He may prefer to-- he is himself legally blind, and completely blind in one eye.

It does though. As the others said, Scotty did have to jury-rig some modifications for long-term storage and even then he wasn’t able to save the other survivor long-term.

Star Trek had a long history of taking cues from capital-T Theater, so a musical was kind of a logical extension of that.

And the DIS s1 klingons look broadly like the TNG klingons, just exaggerated.

James Bond, for instance, is a different person from each actor to have played him

That’s not canonical, merely a popular theory.

The idea of being able to essentially species change a Klingon into a Human with TOS-era Klingon medical tech sounds impossibly advanced for what the Klingons are known for.

It’s also something that literally happened in a TOS episode that almost everyone saw and liked.

Personally I’m glad those transphobic fucks aren’t allowed anywhere near Star Trek.

Then as someone who does know a lot about this stuff I can tell you that you are making a lot of assumptions that are not the case.

It’s one thing to do as a one-off gag or a nostalgia bit. It would not have been possible to take seriously for an ongoing series in 2017, except for hardcore fans that don’t need to be sold on it.

To you.

So why can’t you do that here?

It’s 100 years later.

TMP isn’t.

“so what about Kang, Kor, or Koloth? How do they look right now?”

Like Klingons.

…That’s literally what happens in the Dune books.

How many more years before the crude, gritty aesthetic of Star Wars suffers the same fate as the crude and campy aesthetic of Star Trek?

People complained about exactly that during the Prequel Trilogy.
