Canonical hoo-hah
The official logo of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY premiering on CBS All Access and CBS Television Network.
“Star Trek” returned to television this fall with a brand-new series, “Star Trek: Discovery.” Marissa Martinelli, a culture writer for Slate and a pretty serious Trek fan, catches us up on the new show and explains how it fits within the Star Trek canon.
