Canon isn't a concern for me. Good stories are. I don't care what they violate as long as the broad strokes are right.
Enterprise already had "protein resequencers", so I imagine replicators will be in play.
It's why they should stay away from that era. Making it look like it did in a 60's show doesn't make sense. Not making it look like that era in this imaginary universe also doesn't make sense.
I still would have preferred a post-Nemesis setting, but everything here "fixes" the few things I was worried about.
- Serialized storytelling (for character consistency), but episodic stories too (so its not just one run-on story that I rarely revisit in pieces).
- The look of the ship has grown on me once a saw a 3D model of it, and with a few tweaks mentioned by Bryan, it could be even better.
A "lower decks" perspective will be cool.
As for makeup and more aliens, hopefully the motion-capture/CGI-enhanced stuff from movies is cheap enough that we can see some good stuff here.
Now I am hoping not too much of the Klingons, I don't mind them and they have some good stuff, but we have already seen so much of them over the years. Could do with more Andorians.

Why have it be Star Trek then (to make money off the name of course), and as a fan why want Trek if it's not Trek? I'm not saying it has to be perfect, there have been and will be issues with canon. But they've always tried for the most part.
Here's where I'm at right now as well.
I'm more than willing to pay for it. But the idea of 12 minutes of commercials being necessary when the show is already supposedly profitable, and episodes only being available for seven days, is a real turn-off.
Star Trek: Discovery AKA Two Admirals, a Klingon, and K-7's Bar...
Seriously? Entertainment begins with canon, but canon is not the limit. And if jettisoning canon serve the story, then jettison the canon. True creativity only exists unfettered anyway, I do not need or want the chains of canon holding this show back.
To repeat myself from abovethread:
"Sources tell THR the rest of the cast also will feature an openly gay actor to play one one of the male leads (which Fuller confirmed), a female admiral, a male Klingon captain, a male admiral, a male adviser and a British male doctor." (Source)
But if it's as vastly different as it sounds this show will be, again I ask how is it Trek and why would you want it to be if it goes poopy on the rest of the hundreds of hours of Trek? If there's not continuity why not just have crossover episodes with Seinfeld or something? May as well.
It should not at all be hard to stay in canon and it shouldn't limit the creativity at all.
Rat Race in space.
Yeah, I've since found a report on that. Still, it's definitely different from the traditional Trek set-up of Captain, XO, security officer, helmsman, engineer, *yawn.*
Because it's something new and different. You don't want change, your seven hundred plus hours of previous Star Trek isn't going anywhere. Let the rest of us enjoy the new show.
It does no such thing. All my discs, books and everything else I own is still there. Fecal matter free.
No female captains will undoubtedly be dumped. It already was by Enterprise.
Who said I didn't want change? Of course I want something different, I've seen the rest many times. But it's hard to care about any of it if it makes no sense within the bounds of the Trek universe.
