I would say they are so that since the novels are authorised by CBS.

They aren't canon. The writers here will tell you that.
I'm going to have a stroke here.
You just did.Somebody needs to mention the "rolling over in the grave" thing at this time.
It's because of the dorky Vulcan haircut. They ought to spice thing up a bit on that planet, fashion-wise.
EDIT: Argh. Another silly typo corrected!

It was mentioned (as "Starfleet Control") in Tomorrow is Yesterday.
I love that when discussing the Angel's future origins, Peck's Spock says "the engineering comprehension necessary to..." exactly like Quinto's in ST'09 when discussing the future tech the Romulans used to destroy Vulcan.
Think that was a different thing..........."Control" was a @Dayton Ward thing wasn't it? From the Destiny books.........oddly enough. Hmmmmmmmmmm. Could be wrong.
Even the Discovery tie in books have been tossed out now........Remember the adventure when the Discovery and Enterprise went on a mission together before the show premiered? That's out the window now. Still a great book...........but definitely not canon now.
All alternative universes for me, because I thrive on wanky fan theories.
No wonder they have counselors on board later on.
Sending people into deep space on five year missions, I'm surprised they weren't mandatory in the 23rd century, although Dr Denher in WNMHGB was a psychiatrist
If I had a white foster or adopted sibling who racially abused me in childhood our relationship would be done from that moment. I was racially abused as a child by my peers, took me decades to forgive the bastards..er my fellow students.
There is a fanfiction story where Sarek does die in JTB and Amanda cuts Spock from her life, based on that very emotional scene. (Its by Pat Foley)
In ten years, hair fashion on Vulcan changes to what we see in Amok Time or maybe they wear hair pieces at their weddings. I so hate that TNG bowl hair cut, what culture would have billions wearing the same hair style? Please!
Control is a novel by David Mack, DISC is using the concept (which I dislike...oh well)
Well so far Control in DSC is just an threat analysis AI, we don’t know how much they’re adapting

MACK that's right! Thanks.
So is this the first time the shows have adapted content from a novel for canon (besides the two nebulously canon Voyager novels)?
Why was Burnham running from the creature in the Forge? She was quite safe. The monster fed on local, green-blooded flesh, surely...
It wouldn't have known that till it had at least gotten a nibble out of her.
And its nibble, would most likely have meant the cessation of her future growth.
And her name is Michael, not Shirley.
