It's Star Trek!
You just made an enemy for life
Star Trek isn't Star Trek, but on occasion you may find that it's Star Trek.
Grumble grumble fuckin' Klingons grumble grumble continuity issues grumble grumble.
I do like that they sort of explained the Klingon Empire was getting really into genetic experimentation. It kind of ties in the DS9 tribbles episode as seen here.
The simple "We do not discuss it with outsiders" line is great. Which actually makes me want to watch more DS9...
Anyway... some of the continuity issues are explained away in the second season? Sort of?
It's still my least watched trek. I've even watched more of the Animated Series than Discovery.
Care to expand on what specific continuity issues you’re concerned about?
The whole idea of "Canon" is a comforting self delusion and lie.
Let it go. Enjoy what's in front of you. Stop getting distracted by things that don't really matter to the story at hand. That's how TOS did it.Let it go?
I love that song
I mean there's nothing wrong with your second point about enjoying what you like and not getting distracted by minutiae, buuuut unlike other franchises Star Trek quite literally does have an official canon:
Canon
Ah, yes, the word that separates which made-up stories are more real than other made-up stories!
YES! Perfect description! That should be the definition of the term.
TOS is underrated
ALL Star Trek is underrated.
Star Trek should have been the property that influences the entire culture of the United States of America, like how Doctor Who influences the culture of the United Kingdom. Instead, US culture is based around Star Wars and Star Trek is regulated to a bunch of punchlines that normal people know just enough to understand.
Worf's Klingon prosthetics literally changed between season 1 and seasons 2-7 of TNG. This obviously raises serious continuity issues about whether seasons 2-7 of TNG are even canon...

Give him a break, he was still in gene therapy for the augment virus
Worf went through puberty.
Perhaps today is a good day for my voice to break!
Nobody hates Star Trek as much as Star Trek fans.
Obligatory:
I'll never stop hoping for more new Whomp.
I like to imagine that Discovery takes place in the Kelvinverse rather than the main timeline.
There would be actual canon issues if that was the case as opposed to the mostly imagined ones that people bring up.
10/10 characters and casting, but wtf is going on with the writing

I've always been of the opinion that something is cannot if the owners say it is. Doesn't mean I like it but I accept it. This is coming from the person who doesn't like that they don't respect ship names and registrations in Picard S3. Excelsior is NCC-2000 (insert Letter) not 90-odd thousand and something! /Rant
I have to disagree with the first sentence because Disney swept away all the extended universe canon when they took over Star Wars and I refuse to acknowledge that Kyle Katarn isn't canon anymore.
My only complaint is the time wasted crying as a Klingon bird of prey decloaks behind them.
Which episode was that?
Star Trek Enterprise is the *only * canon Star Trek show.
The Kelvin Timeline follows it and mentioned Admiral Archer's prized beagle.
The Original Series, The Next Generation, Voyager, Deep Space Nine, Prodigy, Picard, and Lower Decks had their canon overwritten by time travel from the movies and retroactive continuity. Discovery, while also a prequel and giving some nods to ENT in later seasons, is now in a branched off timeline of the future. Star Trek Strange New Worlds also treats Enteprise as canon (and give homages to it), but is also branched out in a different timeline now with what they changed from Khan's origin.
