      I don’t get why producers see prequels as a safe haven, they nearly always end up trashing decades-old canon, instead of adding to it.

      Enterprise was one of the exceptions, it fit nicely with established canon, and added to it gracefully.

        The reason i have repeatedly heard out there on the Internet is the writers are afraid of the technology.

        Replicators and transporters can solve anything.

        Which never stopped the writers before so i don’t get it but that’s what i remember reading somewhere

          ee that is the thing with discovery. they went into the past and added new technology which then made the ackward part of everyone being classified and would never speak about it again. That would not really have been necessary if it had been placed after the other series. The only problematic point might have been holograms which seemed to be the only tech they did not have compared to the latest shows really.
