How about they have the first episode be a Holodeck program Riker is playing in order to learn an important life lesson somewhere inbetween scenes of "Rascals"? 
Will there be a pass the torch charater?

That would be a sure way to flush the new series down the toilet.
...a fine joke however
Bruce Greenwood and Zachary Quinto as Pike and Spock on a communication with the Enterprise.
And then, of course, there's the Tony Todd shortlist thing…

Discovery departs Vulcan in the first episode. Before it does, an elderly Ambassador T'Pol is seen beaming down. She's accompanied by somebody that looks suspiciously like Connor Trinneer with pointy ears.
And we agree to never speak of the previous TV episode ever again.

Only if Bruce Greenwood plays Spock, and Zachary Quinto is Pike.
I would love to see Shran (Jeffrey Combs)....
He could play old Jake Sisko as a astrophysics student (or whatever the hell he was learning). A wormhole could pop open on the Discovery, he sticks his head out looks around and says something like "Too far" pulls his head back in, and the wormhole disappears.
"So I see you pink skins are stirring up trouble all over the quadrant, again..."
I think Gary Graham's time in official Trek is over.
As for Greenwood and Quinto, I seriously doubt it. Greenwood is much older than Pike would be in that era, and Quinto is probably too expensive now.
I'd rather not see any torch-passing. This series needs to separate itself from Berman era and nu- Trek, and stand on its own merit.
He is on GH. My wife watches it & asked me 'isn't that guy from Star Trek '.

The King has taken ill & is not fit to rule the Kingdom.
Or this could be the open tease of every episode, Riker standing in the corridor and walking into the holodeck and starting the week's adventure.
Instead of a captain's log, Frakes would do voice overs telling the audience what's going on.

Just give Frakes a shave and say he's using the holodeck on Farpoint Station. It would make perfect sense.
And at the end of every episode, Deanna's voice yelling, "Will, for chrissake, come to bed!"
speak for yourself, I for one am hoping for a young, time traveling Captain Robau
but yeah, a dignified passing of the torch is difficult to pull off, it can easily feel stilted and forced
On the other hand, if you treat your torch passing like a lady... She'll always bring ya home.
That was a great scene.
I was thinking the same thing. How long do Andorians live?
