Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Completely Changes The Original Series, Here's How (msn.com)
FYI: There's also an article below it about what happened to the Weasley family in Harry Potter after the Battle of Hogwarts. That's also interesting, but I digress.
Some of the changes SNW made, at least according to technology, make sense. Roddenberry didn't have the massive budget (or technology) that modern Trek does. In fact, each episode cost around 200 thousand. With ZERO CGI. All the backgrounds were hand painted and look way better than the remastered versions.
As for the tech, sure, I can see why they'd change some things like that. I mean, it's the 23rd century after all. Of course they'd have something akin to data PADDs and way better tricorders, but I like that they at least paid homage to the original design of them.
Sometimes retcons and other changes are necessary. Discovery changed way too much too fast and that set off and lost a lot of fans, mostly because the main character is so insufferable. Which is a shame because Sonequa Martin-Green is a decent actress.
SNW I think makes - at least some of - their changes work without blatantly pushing fans away.
Anyways, what do y'all think?
