“I asked you to assemble here today, to relay something as your sixth Hokage. Listen I am giving you all a secret mission in which you shall each prepare a congratulatory gift for Naruto and Hinata’s wedding. Have it ready and report back one week before the reception. That is all” ~ Kakashi Hatake (Sixth Hokage)

Lily: James, I have a great idea. James: Let’s hear it. Lily: We trick Sirius and Remus to go out on a date together. James: YES! James: And hey, if that doesn’t work out, maybe you and me could go out, get some drinks— Lily, hitting him with a book: THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU.

Some people in the fandom are fighting right now over what this single moment from Lower Decks means. (Mild spoilers for the finale if you haven't seen it.)

In short, things are changing into alternate reality versions of themselves (infinite alternate realities in fact) and one of the things that changes is a regular TNG-Voyager Klingon into a Discovery Klingon.

So, does that mean Discovery happens in an alternate universe? Is that why it's so aesthetically different from TOS, which is supposed to happen near to it in time?

And wait, how similar are these universes? If two alternate versions of characters get together, does that mean their prime versions are together too?

In short, what counts as canon???

I've decided how I come down on this and I won't be swayed.

It's all canon, okay?

There is no prime universe. I feel like that's part of the point. Timelines branch all the time because of time travel, and I believe it's also been said that they branch sometimes because of choices or chaos: the universe where I turned right at the stoplight, and the one where I turned left. Whole new universe.

Parts of various universes are "canon," as in we see them on screen. Or we could say instead, the episodes we see do not always take place in the same universe.

TOS takes place in a universe or universes where Spock and T'Pring had an arranged marriage and don't really know each other. SNW takes place in a universe where they have a normal human-style engagement. In TOS's universe, the Eugenics Wars happen in the 1990s, while in SNW's universe (for reasons that are explained to us) they happen in the 2020s or 30s.

And that's fine! We can cleave to "canon" without feeling like everything that has ever been canonical must apply to the same universe. It contradicts sometimes, for one thing (a fact that drives my autistic ass insane). And it's limiting, to say that in 1970 we could write a Spirk fic where Spock is a virgin but in 2024 we can't without being "canon-divergent." Nah. I cleave to canon, but in the universe of season 2 TOS, or whatever. I'm allowed.

Perhaps this doesn't matter at all to you sane people out there, but as a person who simultaneously needs things to make sense and be consistent, and also believes we need to be free to accept whatever canon we like, it is such a relief to find a way to make it make sense.

Thank you, Lower Decks.
