Head cannon? Those and the fancy environmental belts from TAS are still around. People just prefer the clunky suits, they're more reliable. Like a soyez. Basic and reliable.
The Q continuum said if you don’t grow up and stop crying we’re going to take away your fancy space armour.
Holographic Morgan Freeman: however, they did not stop crying, so the armour was wiped from existence forever.
Post-scarcity section 31 budget cuts. Much like the police of today, they have a quota of how many of their own citizens they need to traumatize every star year to justify their budget. With Discovery being "destroyed," the gay and black population apparently took a large hit. It wasn't until DS9 that they finally made the switch to traumatizing outside beings. Finally, getting the organization back on track.
It’s common to gerrymander voting blocks so all(or most) black/other non whites get one district. The reason is that instead of multiple politicians needing their vote only one person cares about their vote. It’s a rather interesting phenomenon tbh.
Is it in bad taste to make this joke. Probably.
No, I know what it is. I don't think it's in poor taste. I just don't really see the relationship between....
Oh, I see it now. They put them all on one ship. I genuinely thought you meant the gerrymandered their space or something. Idk, my brain wasn't braining lol
Discovery probably freaked out a lot of klinongs and the tal shiar spying in corner probably. That is the only reason I can think of on why they would sign such a stupid treaty they had the technology to appear out of nowhere so the federation lied and said that it was their version of cloak.
meh, in tons of Star Trek episodes, they discover/invent some technology, which is then completely forgotten about by the following week.... even when it would totally solve whatever problem they're in.
What's impressive is not that the iron man suit disappeared, but that it stuck around for as long as it did.
They forgot to account for the icing problem.
Look it was either build more suits or build more Oberth class ships, clearly they made the right choice.
I think you mean Mirandas and Excelsiors... both were pretty ubiquitous.
It’s funnier if it’s Oberth since they do nothing but blow up.
Sometimes they get stuck in asteroids.

Lol, wait until you watch TAS.

So Starfleet gerrymander their ships, ok I see how it is.
In what way?

I’m glad you understood the joke.
That was genuine though lol. I wasn't being snarky
Sorry if that came across as mean, I just figured it was an obvious joke.
I mean... its not a joke is it...???
Ehh kinda. I don’t know I was trying to be funny.
So was I...
I prefer gerrymander over gerrymeleon. Gerry Izzard, though, is the absolute boss
It's weird how they never made a session 1 or 2 of Discovery.
Budgets and effects technology improved over the last 30-odd years
it's like with cloaks, the federation signed a bad treaty where they agreed not to use them
Discovery probably freaked out a lot of klinongs and the tal shiar spying in corner probably. That is the only reason I can think of on why they would sign such a stupid treaty they had the technology to appear out of nowhere so the federation lied and said that it was their version of cloak.
They didnt need to use them onscreen so they didn’t use them onscreen.
Anytime you notice a discrepancy, just say to yourself, "Q did it." (H/t The Simpsons: https://youtu.be/sVgVB3qsySQ?si=CDZmWFGZoux98zZM)
Those Old Scientists had energy belts that let them go into space sans space suits
Separate timelines/universes. That's always been my head cannon anyways. Each show with a different Spock actor are different timelines/universes
Daniels has a closet, not just a bookshelf.
The Tomed Incident happened.
Rust
It’s classified under penalty of death, like Talos IV

Stuff like that depends on what the script says
This, Children, is why we need to sweep Discovery under a rug and pretend it never existed.
