I doubt that will happen. They seem fairly addicted to using TOS as a crutch in their storytelling. Whether that is the choice of the writers or CBS is anyone's guess? But it is where we are at.

I like the TOS callbacks, though. It feels like an extension of the original story...which is the whole point for telling it.
I much prefer it to the other series that, for the most part, pretended the whole thing never happened.
I actually just meant "new territory" away from MU or alternate universes. That was just played out.
I'd rather they strike their own path, then use the backstory after they've grown their own, like the other series did. The way they are proceeding makes the universe feel very small to me.
Everyone's mileage may vary.
They are still using Spock and Pike, hence the TOS crutch.
That is just a small part of it.
Pike is the captain and they are searching for Spock. I don't call that a "small part of it". Sorry, I just don't.
How many people know of Pike?
Probably every Star Trek fan that is subscribing to All-Access to watch Discovery.
He went on leave. They aren't looking for him, yet.

It is presumptuous to assume only Star Trek fans are watching.
I figure that is the whole point of Burnham rummaging through his quarters.
Why? She won't find him there.
Are Trek fans the only ones watching? No. Do they likely make up a significant portion? Yes. Plus, we see Pike as captain of the Enterprise. It isn't like they are trying to hide his background.
Yes, likely. But, that doesn't mean all Trek fans know Pike. I certainly know Trek fans (and have written in RPGs with them) who don't know Pike.
Indeed. No real Star Trek fan would watch Discovery!
She suspects he is hiding in a sock drawer?
Spock drawer
