Faraci also says this:
If true, then that's really disappointing. I don't have a problem with the Klingons, but I don't want them to be the villains.
I love Klingons! Never enough Klingons!
I think the constraints set by the timeframe might be a good thing. It limits creating silly new technology and seven different races of superaliens. Sometimes limited palette is good, especially if you have talented artists, and I think they have a pretty solid team.

I really don't need for them to be constrained. I want them to be creative with the premise and not locked in by minutiae. Though I hope if they want to create a wild new technology or superbeing, they won't let canon stand in the way.
Ah, thanks for correction.
Still, I'm jaded and cynical when it comes to on-line "rumors." I'm treating this as bullshit until we hear something official.
Yes, I can't believe I forgot that one! It's actually a particularly appropriate example since the seasons all take place in the same fictional universe and even feature some of the same characters in different time periods.
I'd love this rumour to be true, but I'm highly sceptical. People on this very forum ended up speculating this time frame from the few snippets the people involved had said. So it is perfectly possible that this rumour is based on exactly the same sort of speculation based on those same quotes.
Yup, one of the worst things in Star Trek and played to death in the 80's.
People projecting their own hopes and fears onto a vague, unsubstantiated rumor?
I just read about the rumor in this article: http://www.treknews.net/2016/04/13/new-star-trek-series-before-tng-prime-universe/
If it is true, it would be good to fill up some of the gaps between 2293 and 2364.

If it's true, don't expect to see the series last past the first season.
Sincerely hope it isn't. We need to move forward, not get bogged down again.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, note that this article is not any sort of official confirmation either. No sources are cited, just "it's been reported" and "it's been announced" that the new series is "reportedly" set in the movie-era, etc.
In other words, they're just "reporting" on the "reports" . . ...
I suggested the same in the articles comments (their title is BREAKING, no mention of rumor except in the article) and just got downvoted :/
I love ironic posts, so I'm going to like this one but not for any reason you'd probably enjoy.
Thanks for fighting the good fight anyway. The internet too often blurs the crucial distinctions between speculation, "rumors," and actual news. Drives me nuts sometimes.
I seriously hope this turns out to be just a rumor. I'm very much opposed to returning to the original timeline. Leave it to the books who have done such an amazing job with it over the last 15 years. Let's start fresh for this new show and get a whole new generation interested.
Careful. You're debating within the confines and suppositions of the rumor you reject. Wasted time?
I agree with you about the Klingons, by the way, but only if they are the nice kind. I'm okay with the evil ones before they got humanized. Villainous Klingons are more interesting. I hope they mix smooth and bumpy heads, too, to retain Enterprise canon and show the transition back to bumpy.
I'm okay with an anthology too. This isn't TV - it's streaming.I've always said Prime makes more sense for CBS while Alternate makes more sense for Paramount at the moment.
