Well, Bad Robot Trek is built out of Abrams Trek 09, but like Star Wars, there's so much Styrofoam in it that it doesn't even come across as a Cinematic Universe. All that Romulan Supernova talk is the link between all of those shows. So yes, Trek does rely on Cinematic Universe storytelling, but they found the only one that's compelling is Berman Trek-era stuff.
In one of those not shown on screen but is explained elsewhere, Nero, the Nerada and crew were captured by the Klingons and were held to twenty plus years. Uhara talking to her roommate about intercepted Klingon transmission of them losing a fleet, is of Nero, crew and ship having just done a jailbreak. As to why Nero didn't go to Romulus and tell them of the impending disaster and instead fucking with old man Spock is on screen retardism. Since he have Spock's squid ship and the red matter and can choose whenever to destroy Vulcan as his leisure.
And his pointy ship is 100 years more advanced than anything else, so getting caught by the Klingons doesn't make sense, hence why it was cut.
For every clever Trek reference, there’s about 10 or 12 scatological gags.
I'd agree with you, except Eccleston and Tennant were when the show actually started pushing for something more grown-up. Now everything’s a bit off, with the money men breathing down creative's neck. This isn’t a new problem; Smith, late Capaldi and Whittaker were all aimed at "families." It felt like a watered-down, PG version of Tennant.
Chalk another one up for "Love the art, hate the artist."
Matt Smith's era was too popular. We're past the point of "family entertainment" and in full overdrive on RTD and the writing staff catering for whatever is left of the DW Tumblrites.I'd agree with you, except Eccleston and Tennant were when the show actually started pushing for something more grown-up.

Production-wise, it’s still a mess. They couldn’t get Ncuti to commit to a full season because he's busy posing for fragrence ads and Doctor Who doesn’t pay enough.
I tend to think most "artists" are shitty people, anyways.
Fairly mild, as Hollywood politisperging goes. At least he's not threatening to drink bleach like his costar.
Wow it would have been great for literally any of that to have been in the movie. Like, any of that.
That sounds like a much better movie than the one they actually made.
B4 was a disaster. It was like, how do we make this actor look even more pathetic? Oh, I know—baby talk.
You know what I do when I go see a movie? I want to see a movie not read all the stuff that wasn't in the movie that they put in comics and stuff.
Setting aside the fact that you only get credit for what you actually show on screen, it makes Nero an even more pathetic villain if offscreen he and his crew got overpowered by Klingons with ships over a century less advanced then his own, and begs the question of why the Klingons never used that ship after capturing it. We see how much it fucks up contemporary Federation ships.
