These are the types of fixes and writing workarounds the Star Trek: Discovery team will have to worry less about in Season 3.
Existing in an untouched era may also keep the fans critical of the show off their backs as they’re paving their own way as opposed to laying a new track behind previously established canon.
Of course, it’s always a big ask to get all sci-fi fans on board with just about any show, so perhaps Discovery should just focus on doing the best it can for its story going forward.
