The Darksaber first turns up way back in Clone Wars, then again in Rebels, leading directly into its role in The Mandalorian. It has a long history.

I know it's not remotely in continuity anymore, but I want to mention how the Gorn are described in the novelverse: there are multiple Gorn castes and subcastes, at times functioning essentially as independent nations within the wider Hegemony --and each with their own "egg worlds" where only...

And it was established way back in the beginning that Willow is genuinely brilliant with plant magic (and kinda sucks with everything else), making her one of the cases where the coven system actually makes sense. And I know we've seen Amity at least try to use sigil magic (and it kinda worked...

Infinity Train; Tulip's flashbacks go deep into her parents' marriage falling apart. Hilda; word-of-god suggests that Hilda's dad is still out there, but he has no relationship with his wife or daughter (they might be divorced, separated, or were just never together to begin with).

Geez, man, you made me think somebody died.

Well, she's about ten generations away from Khan, so it's likely she wouldn't have any of his intact DNA (unless Augment DNA acts differently, which it might). Her dialogue suggested that she was teased by other kids, which doesn't say anything about her official status (as we should all know...

Sam's moustache is ridiculous. It stays.

The robot mode looks good, but that vehicle mode looks like a Kart game version of the original (look at how the cockpit just "bubbles" up from the rest of the body, with those big square blocks sticking out like some kind of camper). I feel like the sleek and streamlined vehicle mode is what...

I was getting Magic Knight Rayearth vibes too, between the colour-coding and Sasha's fire-hair I was half-expecting them to turn into mecha.

Part of the pain of the Discovery redesigns for me is that it came attached to the whole Axanar fiasco, which was set around the same time period and made the much more creatively-interesting choice of treating it as a period piece.

And in hindsight the Abramsverse gets points for explicitly saying "this is an alternate universe" (and confirming that the Prime timeline is still the Berman-era Trek we remember).

I've seen the modern era referred to elsewhere as the Secret Hideout era (based on the production company Kurtzman founded in 2014). The Abramsverse is in its own weird little pocket dimension, not really fitting in with either era, but with clear stylistic ties to both.

I've become more relaxed about Trek canon in the past few years (my complaints now are based on filmmaking stupidity and behind-the-scenes ass-hattery that I'd complain about on any show) --like how modern Trek has an established history of the VFX department not actually reading the dialogue in...

Actually (and I say this to agree with your point), it was a true group effort:

A more plot-heavy trailer just dropped.

Ditto. I mean, I'm not the same person I was in the 80s, why should my Transformers still be wearing 40-year-old fashions?

What I'm excited about is that this is the Star Trek I've been asking for; comedy, optimism, adventure, and emotional drama all in the same show with the same characters, not partitioned off and shown one season at a time.
