no knock on what you like...
but saying what you just posted - is similar to saying
"I've never been into Star Wars - but Last Jedi is just pure excellence"
fucouttahere....
Looks like I was right
hopefully that last vid made the Trek fans a little more settled down now.
I am not going to hunt down the episode but Klingons had cloaking devices in TOS. I think what the Discovery series is saying is that the cloaking device that Klingons has was shitty and easy to detect after a fashion.
Then a decade later - the Romulans who were pretty much an unknown factor before Kirk rolled up on them has far superior cloaking device - their shit made them legitimate invisible, unlike the Klingons low rent version.
Yes, Discovery fucked around with canon but so did Next Generation, Voyager, Deep Space Nine, and Enterprise. Canon is always being adjusted to fit stories and also based on interpretation, like history.
Ironically, your explanation works perfectly for the differences between cloaking tech in the DS9 episode "Through the looking glass" where they were able to detect cloaked ships and just didn't know what they were, and the episode "the emperor's new cloak" where they weren't able to detect anything until the ship decloaked. Unfortunately, Discovery made the point that the cloaking tech was helping the Klingons kick their ass and win the war, shitty easy to detect tech can't do that. Kirk's crew was completely clueless when it came to the notion of a ship being invisible. Out of 400 people, not one said "hey, this looks similar to what I saw 8 years ago".
Rick Berman was very careful to safe guard Gene's creation. The modern series may have made continuity mistakes, but they were never allowed to forgo continuity for the sake of the story like Discovery. I've already stated the many errors that the show has made, these are not mistakes, these are don't give a fucks.
Man I'm glad they're keeping this show on deck. Good Stuff!!
The only problem I have with the show is it's over reliance on Burnham. She shouldn't be the center of all the action all of the time.
That was a good finale ....things came together
clearly you didn't see or understand spock's epilogue.
it clears up 95% of the issues that you have.
i can't find the video but it basically states that anyone that was involved in any dealings with discovery are forbidden to ever discuss them with anyone. basically a NDA for any issues involving any missions or anything else with discovery. including section 31 and its potential revamp, cloaking, burnham, terrans, etc....

she's the star of the show WTF you talking bout lol
dudes name is crazyCAC.
you know black people are not allowed to be at the center of anything without them feeling some type of way...
Just because she is the star doesn't mean she has to be personally involved in every single thing. They have made her character an expert at all things which is a detriment to the development of the rest of the crew. At this point pretty much every major event in the universe is somehow related to her. If you don't see that as a problem I don't how much of a Trek fan you actually are.
Not only did I see it, I made a point to watch that part again before I commented.
Spock mentioned Discovery, the spore drive, and Burnham NOT cloaking technology. Him suggesting that they keep cloaking technology a secret wouldn't have made sense anyway since so many people saw it during the war. There's no way to put that genie back in the bottle.
Maybe they could go back in time and stop the war from starting in the first place, but that would erase the entire show since that would prevent her from being a mutineer which would also prevent her from ending up on Discovery.
so much for clowns, misogynists and racists talking about this is the worst star trek ever.

you guys are in the significant minority
real talk - how can you go from appreciating the quality of shows like DS9 to loving Discovery?
i liked DS9 but the seasons were too long and they had ridiculous filler episodes. It was also too soap opery for me. jake was underutilized and neutered imo.
but i understand why jake existed. i know about the whole jake/wesley dichotomy.
DS9 is not in my top three trek series.
my top three in no order are discovery, TOS and TNG. i can't put them in order. but if forced discovery is number one.
