I expect that the Very Short Treks won’t be entirely non-canon. For instance, some episode might introduce an event, place, or technology that is actually canon even if the events of the episode itself are not canon.
Alternatively, they could be loosely canon in the same way as the Lego Star Wars shows/games, with the rough events and plots being canon even if exact details are not.
Neat!
I am a bit disappointed that these are going to be explicitly non-canon, though.
I refuse to accept that, and will only ever refer to the very Short Treks when debating the finer points of Star Trek.
I’m tempted to go back to Reddit just to make a nitpicky Redditor’s head explode with this:
I’m sure everyone there would be super cool and normal with ensign Balzac and lieutenant Philips.
What… Is… This…
Canon
Sadly not, they’re confirmed to not be canon. You’ll have to settle for (butt)headcanon.
What is it from?
They’re in the Very Short Treks teaser that the article is referring to.
Funny, but not helpful.
