It'll be interesting to see the reception the show gets without the TOS safety net.
Or the nerd rage about 'continuity violations'.
I'm not convinced they'll stay 950 years in the future. Something will happen that will cause them to have to time jump backwards. Maybe not back to the 23rd century, but some point after DS9/VOY/Nemesis.

Only good.I'm going for Season 3 being a variation on the concept of Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda.

As originally conceived, Andromeda was good. Sorbo ruined it.Only good.
One of my main wishes is just that the future that's portrayed would truly be DIFFERENT from the era that Discovery is leaving. 950 years is such a long time (just look at everything that's happened in the past 950 years of human history), I would have a hard time with seeing the same old formulas being rehashed. The primary strategy in the chronology of every ST series has been to simply create *stronger* torpedoes, stronger phasers, faster ships, etc., without doing much innovating.
Unless they've gone into the Dark Ages in the distant future, the writers should use the wide open canvas to make something original. Given how willing they were to create things like the spore drive, I'm hopeful that there will be new stuff introduced, and hopefully executed well. Of course, if the usual torpedoes and phasers aren't around, the outcry from some will be the opposite: "It doesn't feel like Star Trek!" As we've seen, there's no pleasing everybody, so hopefully they'll go with what really makes for the best story.
I’d like to believe that but if they were going to do that why not just send them there to start?
I liked it better when it was called Genesis IIAs originally conceived, Andromeda was good. Sorbo ruined it.

Future canon that will be hundreds of years in the future. Not particularly difficult to get around.Now the rage will be about locking every other series into future canon.
That shouldn't be possible.My fear is it'll be an Andromeda reboot- centuries in the future with no more Federation...
