    Everything except that one line about elon musk.

    But in generall the concept of canon is completly overated. Like these are stories that are up to interpretation they not real. You can do what ever you want with that.

    Its kind of interesting to see how some of those anti woke types loose their shit over this. (not just)

    Anyways I can recommend jessie gender after dark’s video on this subject relatong to trek

      You know, I wanted to disagree… But some of my favorite stories (especially Pathologic) make questions of canon a central story element. Sure, there’s still a canon you could arrive at, but the canon of your experience with these stories is what makes them endlessly interesting and mystifying to me.

      And that’s not even to mention worlds like Dark Souls, Elden Ring etc. which deliberately allow for so much head canon that discussions are still going many years after release. None of this would work with strict canon.

      Wasn’t that line said by someone from the mirror universe?

      Where Musk wouldn’t be a total fascist?

          this is pretty much the exact reason why I can’t stand new trek.

          celebrating current day celebrities in a show that’s supposed to transcend those limits is out of character for the shows history and damages the show by adding frivolous “facts” that literally do nothing to drive the plot forward.

          It’s like watching a show or reading a book where a major character is “surprise gay”. it explains nothing about their character and what they have achieved to that point and is then used only as a cheap character device later.

          it’s like introducing your “gay cousin” like it’s some kind of a fucking qualifier for who or what they are.

          I wished people wrote characters you fall in love with. Like Bill and Frank from The Last of Us. I cried myself a headache when Frank and Bill’s story ended. I was so happy for them…but so sad for myself for never being able to see them again.

          THAT’S what I want for Trek. everything else is just cheap and gimmicky.
