Huh? Sure Disco was garbage and didn't do Trek any favors, but are they saying that Paramount really launched SIX more modern Trek series with none of them appealing to new fans??

Well, maybe if they hadn't CANCELLED ALL SIX new series just as they were taking off, they would have had more success with some of them.

People can't watch what you don't produce, and they can't buy what you don't sell. Duh.

@crystalvisits I was quite amused how Pike behaves in #TOS "The Cage" versus how he acts in the first episode of Strange New Worlds.

The #SNW writers set it up so the first time the captain emerges onto the bridge, it is staffed nearly entirely by women. He is unfazed.

Is it a retcon? In my head canon, it's a new and #StarTrek timeline created by…events you'll see in the second season of SNW. Call it the "strange" timeline vs. the "prime" timeline of TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, PIC, and PRO.
