particularly when it comes to the Sarek family drama, because like... okay it's one thing to disregard factual science / timeline stuff, but to mess with characters who many fans already have a connection to feels... inconsiderate
I will forgive a lot, if there is some sort of call back and explaination to the Sybok situation. Because okay - if you're going to unravel so much backstory, at least tie together some peices while you're at it so that the whole thing doesn't come apart
And... okay so I know novels aren't "canon" but some are written with the understanding that these subjects would not be explored again - so the book "Sarek" by AC Crispin, I believe was written with the intention of filling in backstory.
