I watched an earlier video from those guys detailing the flustercuck that is the present state of the franchise (and the CBS-Viacom mess). I argued since the Abrams abomination began that it was never canon, and as confirmed here, it wasn’t (nor is the STD horror), since they were legally compelled to make it largely non-canon. I expect with the Picard project upcoming, and its similarly legal boundaries, it will be a fiasco.

For true fans, it might be better to simply wait for the merger to be completed and that CBS/Viacom will be able to put out Star Trek that actually remotely resembles what we came to love instead of the monster it became.

It also renders everything that had to do with Leonard Nimoy’s portrayal of Spock in the Abramsverse movies, including the stated death of the character in Star Trek: Beyond, non-canon. Which means the original Spock is not truly dead, at least not by the legal standards set forth in the Midnight’s Edge video.

Sadly, it also renders Nimoy’s performances a waste since they cannot truly apply to the Spock he was playing for decades. The thought that Patrick Stewart’s possible final performance of Picard will be a similar waste is revolting, although if the new Picard series is truly awful, it at least won’t sully the legacy of the original TNG shows and movies.
