I’m keen to see a better backstory for the Gorn and TOS Arena.

I just can’t get behind all the outrage at Goldsman in the comments below that interview.

What do folks here think?

I think you should never read the comments.

It's one of the reasons I avoided Trek forums for years. Thankfully the Trek sub (now here) is a much calmer place and it turns out the more militant Trekkies are a very vocal minority.

From the interview:

"Because for me, storytelling beats canon. And that may not be popular, but it’s the truth."

I'm not "outraged" at this, but this is a red flag and I feel like some things about the first two episodes of this season justify feeling that way. Have you all learned nothing from the dumpster fire that is J. J. Abrams?

"And that may not be popular, but it’s the truth"

Dude, that's not some kind of "objective truth" that's you telling me you don't want to do your homework and you resent the fans expecting you to...
