I tried a few episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. I didn't mind
the weirder stories, but I disliked the incompatibility with TOS. In
particular, that is not the Uhura I know. I like both versions, but
they're clearly not the same character. Also, Spock's arc is proceeding
much too quickly. He's already doing things which were big steps for him
while he was serving under Kirk.

 
Is ST:SNW sppsd to be mainline continuity?

 
I'm not sure. If it's a different timeline, perhaps they could have just
used different names. It would save all those "Wait, what?" moments.

They keep claiming it's the TOS timeline and not the JJ timeline although
obviously that's a lie.
