   Just the opposite.  They announced that Discovery is supposed to be   
   set in the classic “Prime” timeline.  That’s why doing what they’re   
   doing is problematic well beyond any cries of racism or other   
   intolerance.  It was problematic when they did the same thing with   
   Enterprise.  It’s just dumb to depict things 10 or 100 years prior to   
   Kirk as being more advanced than what even Picard had just because our   
   tech has taken off in the present.  It certainly *should* have been a   
   reboot.   
      
   Either that or, like I’m sure I’ve said before, someone needs to sit   
   down with all the property in the franchise and work out a fully   
   coherent continuity.  One that they can stick to for all *future*   
   production as well, of course.  All this piecemeal shit has become a   
   real anchor around the neck of the Trek universe.
