They moved canon aside, that was part of the point of the story, this is an alternate time line, all that canon stuff happened over there in that other time line. This wasn’t a prequel, this was a shaking of the etch-a-sketch, they have no intention of this being able to lead up to TOS, this is the start of a whole new run.

They can only do that up to a point.

They have been many immitators of Star Trek that failed because they tried to do this. As of right now it is past momentum that is going to carry this film.

However, they can’t just trash the past because they can. Change for the sake of shock value is not going to be sustainable for a franchise.

No mistake and credit due to abrams for producing a star trek action film. (the final kobayashi test was more about what was happening inside kirk’s head exposed rather than running it dry and official as would have been expected. apple forbidden fruit?)

Then again, does this mean the ENITRE voyager series can be expunged from the continuity?
