That seems unlikely.
THAT would have been even funnier. Then they could have had someone say to Worf: "What happened? You look so different!", to which Worf replies: "No I don't".
"We are going to be doing a few things that shake hands with TOS in a way that I think are going to be so fun. I think people will be pretty excited about what's coming down the pike."
Ha ha, good catch. #BruceGreenwoodForDiscovery"We are going to be doing a few things that shake hands with TOS in a way that I think are going to be so fun. I think people will be pretty excited about what's coming down the pike."
Tim Daly already works for CBS.
"The last thing we want to do is feel like we came into somebody else’s house and took the plates out and moved them somewhere else."
He talks of the Klingons so maybe that is the limits to violating canon. Must have been a pretty good reason (or a lazy one) to mess with expectations of what has already been told. Probably play out as all twisted and how can that possibly keep future Trek true to its story line roots whilst still being in keeping with Discovery.. and then.. the arc kicks in we find out Spock still is Spock but with a messed up family tree and Klingons really did have hair but shaved too much, and it all makes sense again.

No Picard is a win for me
It doesn't matter now. It's just a visual refresh using modern approaches.
Awesome!!!! I really need to go read that interview now!"We are going to be doing a few things that shake hands with TOS in a way that I think are going to be so fun. I think people will be pretty excited about what's coming down the pike."
Flint!
Sorry, as the OP I blame SFX for that one. Although I should have known, their reporting on Discovery hasn't been the best. An earlier article said it was set 10 years before TNG....
Considering all the work that goes into news reporting, it's maddening when they obviously didn't do the five seconds' worth of research to check basic facts. It's like the time when a news piece on Trek used footage from the Trek fan film "Renegades."
There are lots of examples of commercial news media doing a poor job of reporting on pop culture. ...and everything else, for that matter.
That's part of the reason why I only get my news from NPR.

I can live with pushing canon a bit especially when it gets rid of fanon fan wank theories. So some of what they said makes me feel a bit better. But at the same time I read stuff like "not changing things that we thought were super-important, like the communicators and tricorder and phaser[.]" I just have to shake my head. There were no phasers or tricorders in "The Cage" era. So it's like they're trying to be a good prequel to Kirk-era, while ignoring the stuff that already exists in the era they're depicting.
But I guess I just need to be patient and they'll have an episode that fixes that.
No. NO!
