I think that will depend on the overall story they tell. If the political and social backdrop of the Federation in the overall story they tell is a backdrop that is akin to "ten years before Kirk's TOS", then it belongs ten years before Kirk's TOS.
Discovery and "The Orville" Comparisons

Because the product being sold is Star Trek. Discovery isn't a new idea it is a Star Trek idea.
Indeed. It doesn't have to earn the "Star Trek" title like some heavy weight contender. It is "Star Trek: Discovery."
It is a pretty weird question, isn't it? It's set in the Star Trek universe, that's why.
"BUT TEH YOUNIFORMS AND THE SHIPZ DUZEN'T LOOK LIKE PIKE-ERA STUFFZ!!!"

Vger23 to English free translation:
But the [Discovery] uniforms and the ships don't look like [they belong in] Pike's era.
Hey, what do you know? When translated it is completely logical!
Except we already knew they were never going to use the shoddy Cage uniforms because it's a modern Production. Logical.Vger23 to English free translation:

Since only a percentage of the hardcore fans care whether or not the ships and uniforms look like they come from a certain era, your translation may be logical, but the expectation is not.
Don't you mean TEH SHIPZ AND THE YOUNIFORMS? How will the hardcore FANZZ (that you tried to mock) understand you now?
Can we quit the bickering and get back to real dialogue?
I would agree, but I think it carries more weight when the person asking for rationality is a mod.
I've been on Star Trek forums since they were a thing. This is the most rationale and civilized forum, by far, I have ever encountered.
Then the mods must be doing an excellent job.
Yes, even the official Star Trek boards, when those were still around, were far inflammatory and frequently very negative.
Though, the best one, by far, was the poster discussing how crucifixion was never a real thing. That was amusing.
Yep. Super boring.
I'm amused at the direction this thread has taken...but not surprised.
Can I paraphrase your quote in Kirk-style from TWoK :
"Of all the forums I have encountered in my travels, this is the most... civilized."
I'm super impressed that the USS Orville bridge has a wraparound LCD screen for a bridge window. That must look amazing in action, and super-cool for the actors to react to stuff they actually see.
I wonder if Discovery will do similar, or if their crew will be gazing at a big greenscreen?
