  1. Canon and character are agreements between writers and audiences. We expect some tweaks and changes here and there to better tell a story and flesh out a character but when established canon/backstory is thrown out or a character is made to be completely out-of-character it begs the question "why bother with this story if nothing is consistent and past watching/reading is made completely pointless?"

  2. Rewatching DS9 makes me miss old/slightly old Star Trek. The reboot and Discovery don't seem to resemble anything of the series. The reboot is drunk guy at the bar's version of the old series where "Kirk gets all the babes! And shoot everyone!" Discovery is more focused on socio-politics instead of a good story or rather making a good story first then incorporate socio-politics into organically.
