So now I can get ChatGPT to tell me my question is stupid and a duplicate of something that only applied in 2002?

So you think going from “This didn’t exist yet” to “This existed, it just wasn’t used,” doesn’t in any way cheapen the older stories?

You’re right, it doesn’t violate the canon.

It just cheapens it.

That’s all well and good for the lore, but it doesn’t make it feel any less like a way of getting out of the corner they wrote themselves into. It would also probably be little comfort for the version of the Voyager crew that took something like 70 years to get home.

I’ve enjoyed Discovery. Not as much as other series, but I have enjoyed it. I still think the spore drive is a story that should’ve been told later in the timeline, though.

Gotta admit that introducing big fancy transwarp highway in a prequel wasn’t the most clever move… Especially considering Voyager…

Well, I definitely like Lemmy.
