I am all for new Trek, but they need to fuck right off with the prequels.

Every studio: "What if we instead just go back and write ourselves into a corner and risk pissing people off by breaking continuity."

Edit: For example, I love SNW. But knowing what happens to half the cast removes a lot of the tension. I know putting Pike, Uhura, Scotty, Chapel, M'Benga or the ship in jeopardy will amount to nothing. Even Una. Because we know from "Those Old Scientists" that she later becomes the literal poster girl for Starfleet.

Edit 2: I have a lot of problems with Discovery, but one thing it absolutely did right was stop being a prequel and send the window of storytelling so far into the future that it can't cause story problems for other Trek.
