Fair point. I have encountered the very same thing in life many times.
It just seemed to me that noticing the stripe, which is rather hard to see at times already, that the lack of collar to a collared uniform would be a very noticeable difference.

The cadets will find a sleeper ship with cryogenically preserved Ash Tyler floating around in space.
Unless your name is "Scotty".
They want to instill that "old time
As mentioned the entire crew was re-educated. They're up to date and ready to educate.
Uh, have you met "Star Trek"? It never changes. No matter what the Century it's pretty much the same. It's about commenting on current society through the lens of Science Fiction. It's not gonna create a "future" where that can't happen.
The needs of the story outweigh the needs of verisimilitude. Star Trek—since 1966.
And we have a winner.
Amidst all the silly excuses you people came up with to explain this, this here makes the most sense.
Though, it is questionable to base the whole premise of these series around such a flawed concept.... assuming of course this involves Discovery characters.
It may not, and be a clean break from what has come before.
Where is the flaw, again? What we know.
- It's set at Starfleet Academy
- It's set in the 32nd Century
- It may or may not involve characters from DISCO.
I have a list of issues with DSC as long as a Godfather movie and if the worst thing I can say about this concept is: "I just don't want to see it turn into a Star Trek 90210" then I think we'll all be okay with the show being developed.
I wasn't aware I needed a serious excuse. It's Star Trek.
Well, you tried. A for effort.
I suspect it will be more like Star Trek: Buzzfeed, with a CW twist.
Generally speaking, I am content to work inside the premise as presented.
I dropped DISCOVERY at the end of its second season... for me, it fell off the deep end after the Talos IV episode. Earlier this year I tried giving the third season a watch, but the impossible to suspend belief way they portrayed the 32nd century foreclosed my even being able to "hate watch" -- it's so far removed from pre-existing Star Trek continuity it might as well be ANDROMEDA. So for me, this SFA series is like doubling down on quicksand, but with a lower budget. I'd like to think something good could come of it, but likely it'll prove to be far too "current day" and not relatively timeless. It might end up just targeting the core DISCOVERY fanbase, but with a right sized budget.
Honestly, the series the legacy/continuity subset of fans really have to fear is SNW. The tone / continuity is all off, but it appeals to normies the way the Abramsverse did. Why try keeping up on 50+ years of continuity and follow up on a plethora of already established lore when you can just re-reboot TOS?
What a time for Bill Bixby to no longer be around.
Most fans of all stripes seem to like SNW. Even a few of the minutiae militia have been positive.
I like the tone of SNW. It's like that other show...what's is called? Oh yeah, Star Trek. Continuity seems to work as well. Yeah they aren't sticking with stupidity like "No female captains", "women on the bridge" or milk toast Chapel, but that's a good thing.
Also Benadict Cumberbatch back as Khan for reasons.
Agreed. That's really the one thing that would make me turn off that show entirely. And while the teen drama is something a bunch of people enjoy, I'm certainly not one of them.
Like I said, all I can do is wait and see.
Because the producers fear the fan base.
I don't find the SNW crew to be believable as professionals, again the evil verisimilitude. Continuity? I guess that's in the eye of the beholder... but why would the ship be refitted to be small and less technologically advanced after the Spock/Number One short, then refitted to be oversized again after "The Cage", then shrunk down afterwards? Lester in "Turnabout Intruder" is an unreliable narrator. Women on the bridge is effectively a deleted scene and doesn't feature in "The Menagerie". Chapel though really should be more in keeping with the TOS character, if not, just create a new one.
They should really just go all in and treat SNW like a full reboot, instead of this weird half measure. With all the time travel that took place after DISCOVERY season 2, SFA will effectively already be one.
But at the end of the day, if they want to make different Star Trek for different segments of the fanbase, they need Legacy in here too.
