New, series, new take on things. That is how creativity works.
It may be a new series, but if I am not mistaken, this is not considered a reboot. As far as I know, Discovery is suppose to take place in the same universe as TOS, nextgen, and the other series’.
yeah i know. but every series has their own transporter beam look, don’t they?
That can attributed to changes in technology. Plus you do have to allow for the improvement in special effects through the years.
