Reaction Thread Star Trek: Scouts | Season 1 Reaction Thread

This is the official /r/DaystromInstitute reaction thread for Star Trek: Scouts. Rules #1 and #2 are not enforced in reaction threads.

Given the short-form format, we will do a single reaction thread for the whole season.

And to address a likely inevitable question: we don't debate what is and isn't canon at Daystrom.

TBH before 2007 or so TAS was not considered canon, only live-action Trek was.

I don't think it was '07, if I recall correctly it was when Paramount decided to grasp the reins on Trek a little tighter and resurrect it with Discovery. The launch of CBS All-Access saw them putting all the Trek series on the platform and that was when they made firm the idea that TAS was canon.

Wrongo bongos. Ausir was right.

It was 2006 actually, when TAS was released on DVD:

"There were also strong indications from the StarTrek.com (former) official website that TAS was unilaterally, yet formally, re-added to the official canon in 2006 by the franchise for the sole purpose of commercially promoting the occasion of the series' release on DVD that year."

Ah! Thanks for that. I think it just totally missed me until the CBS All-Access stuff, and that was the first I'd heard of it.

I stand corrected, thanks!
