I wanna see Curzon Dax in SNW. Pretty sure the timetables match up there, given he negotiates the Khitomer accords.

Yeah, if anything the TOS ships are more realistic in regard to their interfaces. In an emergency, when you may not have lights or gravity or whatever, buttons and knobs come with certainty. Flat, featureless touchscreens? Not so much.
i feel like the answer to what is and isn’t canon can be summed up with;
Why do the klingons look different?
They always looked like that, you just didn’t notice before.
Canon has always been squishy. The Eugenics Wars takes place in the nineteen-nineties… oh but didn’t Voyager’s crew visit our nineties? Plus, DISCO had that Elon Musk name drop.
…so the timeline floats up as the present day does. Canon is just a vague sense of the things everyone agrees on.
I really dislike the fungus engine. You expect me to believe the Federation developed instant, consequence free warp but gave up on using it on literally any other ship? Silly. Very silly. Oh, but the precursor civilization doing a galaxy wide Genesis project is somehow an unimaginable technological feat.
And yes, I know STE covers the klingon flu. I just think They always looked like that was more elegant.
If i were gonna write the Borg going forward, I’d have the queens be a failed experiment to elevate one drone to the role of tactician specifically to deal with the Federation. It didn’t work, so they don’t do it anymore.
I like to think by the time Kirk gets the enterprise, all those spacious crew quarters we see in Strange New Worlds have been eaten up by retrofits and upgrades.
All hardware becomes legacy hardware in time. Even if we assume they’re eventually able to deliver on all those great big shiny promises, I’d rather not have to schedule an outpatient surgery just to keep up on emails. Pocket touchscreens being practically mandatory is bad enough…
she’s the only reason the Enterprise runs as smoothly as it does
The ship is the size of a city and it only has a day shift and a night shift, for peat’s sake!
Star Trek prefigured a lot of modern police procedurals.
Hello Computer, could you pretend this picture has more pixels? Now, extrapolate wildly off one incidental data point! Oh, could you run this through the face identifier programme? You know, the big database that 100% perfectly identifies everyone on the planet with absolutely no mistakes ever? Thanks computer!
Troi: I can sense a feeling of deep and profound spiritual connection, genuinely I do. However, I do have other appointments. So, in the mean time, I’m going to replicate you a weighted blanket and a Nintendo DS.
I still think humanity should have just terraformed Mars or Venus on behalf of the trisolarans. That way, everyone has a stable orbit
The holovids always skip over Voyager’s many, many detours to extract resources and manufacture replacement torpedoes. Between this, negotiating with the Borg, and massively altering the timeline, Captain Janeway is as much a popular topic of conversation outside the federation as she is within.
