    So I guess whatever was classified about the Discovery's mission, a lot of it isn't anymore in the 25th century.

    Tortoth may not be the only walking corpse, if the members of the Lobi Consortium had a hand in its refit...

    The blogs are pretty good regardless, but this one was a notch better, imo, nicely done.

    Does anyone need a reason why the war against the klingon empire should be restarted this instant.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Here I was thinking it was finally a diplomatic ovature to allow Klingons to visit Risa throughout the year as a way of solidifying the Alliance.... :cry:

    Wait, I thought Star trek discovery was part of the Kelvin timeline?

    I love the show, but with the high tech look everything has, completely different Klingons, spore drive tech and Spocks formerly unknown adopted human sister as the main character it doesn't really seem to fit into the original timeline.

    I thought the salt over the Kelvin Timeline was bad, but the hatred over Discovery is rapidly approaching the impotent rage beyond that level.

    It's disappointing that fans of the Star Trek franchise (who have complained for years that we haven't had a new Star Trek show) can't even sit down and enjoy Discovery.

    But that's what being a Star Trek fan is all about. Hating on the newest Star Trek thing for trivial reasons is part of the experience.

    With fans like some of you, you don't even need CBS Studios or JJ Abrams to ruin the franchise. You do a good enough job of it yourself.

    Stay the course, Cryptic. More Discovery assets are what I'm craving now. Blogs like this really help, although part of me would love to see Tortoth executed for apostasy.​​

    This is exactly how I feel about DIS. It just doesn't belong anywhere else but the already upgraded (and Bald Klingons as well) JJ Trek universe. It's still a great Sci-Fi (if not Kelvin Trek) show.

    And the CBS defenders are just sad. There's no independent thought process in that argument that "CBS makes it, so it must be law." (Political statements are against the ToS; comments moderated out. - BMR) Just because something is, doesn't make it right and good for us. Example: Remember TNG Andorians? I try not to either, and luckily neither did ENT. The show's creators are fallible, sadly, and this is just the epitome of it. Accepting it doesn't help. It only defends poor continuity and change without a real reason and logic behind it. (And no, being cool is not a valid reason. It's lame and short-sighted.) It makes an established universe poor, diluted and incomprehensible in the long-term as we're seeing now. It may as well just go open and erase the 'prime' timeline. (Seems like that's CBS's goal now to fight against Paramount.)

    Anyways. Bad interpretations of canon aside, the Walker class actually fits in the STO 25th century game. So I'll be glad to see that one. Good work on the model assets. I'll welcome the others as fitting in the with Kelvin universe, or even some other alternate one again. There's room for that with a reasoned and logical approach. Not just blind willy-nilly Whiskey Tango Foxtrot facepalm shoe ins.

    It pains me to say this, but Disco as a show is tolerable. I hate the redesigned Klingons and tech retcons. The blog however, is impressive. It gives me vibes of the beginning of Stargate SG1. Fringe scientist finally finding proof validating him.
    I think looking at Disco through the lens of this story will help me accept it easier.

    "Its been stated numerous times it's Prime timeline, even before the show came out CBS stated it several times."

    Stating something does not make it true. It just means CBS was trying to head off criticism by telling us a lie. And that they have repeated the lie.

    Discovery works fine as an alternate timeline. There are too many discrepancies between it and the original timeline to say it's the Prime timeline. And it doesn't matter how many times CBS (or Cryptic) claims otherwise.

    To be fair, we don't know which of them wanted a new series, nor if any of that set overlaps at all with the rage-filled haters.

    Actually there is as usual a very small minority that are pissing and moaning about Discovery. Just as it was a tiny minority that bitched about TNG, and so on for every single iteration of the franchise. As is also usual these people have a massively inflated belief in their numbers, influence, etc.

    Doesn't help that they are also QUITE vocal as well.

    Anyways...

    It might be because what you define as a "Star Trek serries" is fundamentally dient than what the Star Trek authorities define as a "Star Trek series". And, no offense, they're the authorities.
