Frequently asked questions

Q1: Why isn't there any negative criticism or mention of the fan backlash?

A1: Wikipedia policy requires that all material be verifiable to reliable, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Additionally, sources must be reliable for the topic at hand and their viewpoints must be given appropriate weight in proportion to their prominence among all others. The article reflects the viewpoints represented in reliable sources.

Q2: Why aren't user reviews or audience ratings used?

A2: Content from websites whose content is largely user-generated is generally unacceptable. User reviews are user-generated content. And although review aggregators (such as Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic) may be reliable when summarizing experts, the ratings and opinions of their users are not.

Easter egg to the original series

The Music Director for Star Trek Discovery seasons one and two is Matt Decker. This is coincidental to Star Trek the original series season two episode 6 with Commodore Matt Decker in "The Doomsday Machine" 173.47.49.252 (talk) 08:01, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As you said, it is a coincidence and mere trivia. - adamstom97 (talk) 00:14, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
