You know like it turns out Michael Burnam's mother was actually Khan Noonien Singh. James T. Kirk was a Romulan spy who ate Spock's oldest son. A time travelling race of intergalactic nitwits accidentally destroy the Earth, which is made of chocolate, and now all earthlings are homeless, chocolate stealing vagabonds.
Dumb crap like that.
What you posted sounds a lot better than the last 20 years.
I don't know, someone must like all the crazy Trek shit they've been putting out.
It must be making money and making some people happy.
Makes no sense to me though.
The casting of the 2009 Star Trek movie was perfect, too bad the story was just stupid as fuck.
The stupid Trek hasn't stopped since.
The old TV shows and Trek movies weren't all perfect either but at least they are watchable.
I just reread this Trek novel: Dark Mirror

I think the story is great and would make a good movie.
There's an alien character in it called "Hwii" that is described like a dolphin and the author came up with a antigrav device that Hwii uses to move around the ship.
That's fun and creative and in no way deviates from any existing Next Generation sci-fi tech. It just adds on.
Which is all they ever had to do rather than rebooting over and over.
