Am I missing something??

Strange New Worlds is an entertaining show to just watch an episode (much more so than Discovery or Picard, for example) but there's no way it "fits" into the established continuity of the original series.

You're telling me that a few years from now, that when Spock references the old Earth dictator Khan Noonien Singh, not a single member of the crew would say "oh yeah, we used to serve with one of his descendants" or point out that Spock used to date her? I get that there was never going to be visual continuity with the ship having a bunch of buttons instead of modern touchscreens, and I'm totally fine with that, but the story beats should still line up with established canon.

They should have just set the show in the 25th century with all new characters. You could use the same actors and a lot of the same plots. Ethan Peck and Christina Chong have chemistry? Great, pair them up and it's fine because they're all new characters not tethered to anything we already know about.

Didn't Chebacca hit that too?

You think that's bad, I have quite a bit more I could say about the last decade or Star Trek and what a mess it's been.

"I mean, I mean, it's just a TV show!!"

As an electrical engineer, you can't imagine the number of times in school someone would begin discussing something Star Trek with me as if I had any idea what they were talking about. Their disappointment when they realized I had no idea what they were talking about was pretty funny to watch.

They wanted to fire photon torpedoes at you, didn’t they?

Plus we got touchy feely Spock who somehow goes back towards non-emotional Spock to end up back to a more touchy feely Spock.

But I do like this series.

Is this one about gay space communism like the last couple have been?

I was wondering how "lady's man" Spock could become TOS Spock. It may have started with this last episode.

Also, in TOS, Bones was always sort of a bigot when it came to other species (and I'm not just saying that because he's an Ole Miss grad). Now that they have had multiple series exploring the years before TOS, its hard to see how a guy like Bones could even exist.
