I've never personally understood why people get so obsessed with which works of fiction are more real. It's just a silly thing to worry about.
It adds to the cohesive narrative which can make the overall story telling experience better. When works are considered canon, that's usually an indicator that the overall franchise narrative is being cared for and thought of.
It can also mean that some aspects of one show can show up in another or vice versa. It's very cool to see a character you really like. Show up in another medium.
For your second point, you can do that without worrying about canon. In fact it's easier if you don't.
For the first one, that can be interesting for a single coherent work with a single writer or team of writers that planned out at least an outline of a story beforehand, but there are rarely questions about canon for those kinds of stories. For something worked on for over half a century by hundreds if not thousands of people many of whom have very different visions for what it should all be about, in my experience it just leads to people getting mad at each other based on which of those visions they like more, and lots of self-contradictory nonsense crammed into the story to try and make it all work. That is just my opinion though. You are free to like different things than I do.
I just see canon as a toolbox for building one's personal fanon/headcanon from.
I honestly wasn't thinking I'd see my username corrupted, but I love the meme!
Yeah TAS canonicity confirmed lets goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
There's a world of difference between Lower Decks and, say, Discovery/Picard. The further away from Kurtzman, the better.
I'm gonna be that guy. I loved Disco and Picard. I even liked Enterprise.
What did you think of Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds?
even liked Enterprise
I liked Enterprise once it picked up moment in later seasons and hated Picard from the start. Discovery was a chore for me and I gave up on that too.
Lowe Decks, followed by SNW, are strong contenders for second favorite trek behind TNG
You are not alone. There are dozens of us!Dozens!
But fr, I freaking love Disco. Picard was a little more difficult for me, mainly because* I love the character that the big thing in season 2 happened to, and kept waiting for that to become relevant in s3, and it didn't. But other than that, I loved Picard, too.
*I do not know how to spoiler on Jerboa, of that is even possible.
