Good example but there, the characters were likeable as well, so it worked.
Season 2 Teaser

I don't need to. No one has refuted them in any meaningful way. TMP is as jarring as Discovery, in fact more so since it is only a 3 year gap.
Also, you answered your own question:
Prequels have been done by Star Trek multiple times with mixed results. I am not convinced that continuing on with a prequel series would be well received or wise in terms of production. Would I love to see an April or Pike series? Absolutely, but I would also love to see the Franz Josephs' designs come to life in a series too. I don't always get what I want and I don't see a prequel being a good choice.
I thought the scene humanized them all, especially Michael, very well. I love Michael and want even more after this trailer.
He's 45. How old is Pike supposed to be in the year STD season 2 takes place? It looks like they artificially aged him for Season 2. I don't think it would be a problem for him to pull off 35 if they wanted to.
The actual TOS Nacelles were more orange.
Linus needs to be shown carrying a blanket just once during the second season.
(or even a very over-sized hanky)

I'm talking about an April series. I never wanted a Pike series, too close to the TOS era for comfort.
At least with April, you can make the world of 2245 look vastly different. You have a bigger playground to play in.
The only reason I'm mentioning a Pike series is, because like I said, the echo-chamber will be begging for a Pike/Enterprise spinoff after he shows up on STD, predictably. He will definitely be the scene stealer. An easy task when you have a 'lead' as boring as Burnham.
Yeah. I hope they keep her around. I literally laughed out loud at that. But then I laugh at pretty much anything she does.
Exactly so.
The big culmination of the finale was she was no longer trying so hard to be Vulcan.
I’m not sure the argument that the joke is so old and well-worn is much of a defense for Discovery.
I'm not looking for a Pike show, but generally speaking, I'd rather watch a well-formed crew act like professionals than a new crew trying to grow into proficient heroes. The story of their growth is the unnecessary Origin Story of their more interesting later stories. There's a reason Origin Stories are nearly universally hated: there's a reason it was Backstory.
Yep, the further you go from established PrimeTimelineEras, the less it matters that it doesn't link up perfectly.
LOL. According to you.
Exactly.
You are playing with fire setting a trek series just a few years before Kirk, and several years after The Cage.
Of course, I think after this season, people will genuinely just perceive STD as it's own thing. As soon as we see the Enterprise, we're gonna be in for a jarring shift from what we're used to.
Yes, according to me. How dare I expect consistency in criticism levied against Star Trek?
"Timelines, like art, are fluid."
The end.
The end.
I'll spend some time reading through all the comments, but wow...that looks unexpectedly fun. Better visuals, better tone, and seemed to highlight a lot of honest-to-goodness jokes.
The one, and only one thing I didn't like about it was SMG as Burnham. She seems weirdly out of place still giving these dour Season 1 monologues with all the fun whipping around her. It might be due to editing however.

It looks as if marketing put together a trailer that mimics The Orville. That does not mean the show will play this way at all.
All it would take is one throw-away line from any character, saying that event's from Archer's Era (ENTERPRISE) may have somehow altered the "Prime Universe" as we knew it and all will be well again.
This the TNGVerse revision of the 23rd century, not the TOSVerse version.
