35 Years Ago, Star Trek Retroactively Created New Canon, And No One Noticed
One blistering episode from the heyday of 'The Next Generation' still holds up. Here's how "The Wounded" changed Star Trek history.
Star Trek fans have become very sensitive to introductions of new characters, aliens or historic events arguing that things that haven’t previously been mentioned ‘break canon’ or disrespect lore.
This piece by Inverse shows how profoundly TNG retconned Federation, Starfleet, and main characters’ history on the fly.
Worth thinking about.
