I must TV all wrong.
You and me, both.
I survived the whiplash from M*A*S*H to Trapper John, M.D. so I'm cool with the jarring tonal shift from SNW to LD.
Just watch the MASH movie then the series.
Hell, I never even watched the movie for the very first time until well after my first episodes of the series. 
"Donald Sutherland is Hawkeye? That's...weird."

It is very strange to be sure.Hell, I never even watched the movie for the very first time until well after my first episodes of the series.

Then G. Wood shows up in the pilot episode. It's quite interesting if a bit of a record scratch along with the rest of tone of the series, especially early on.
Some season 1 prop concept art

the concept art is dated 2260, so either he made a mistake or season 1 was originally set in 2260 during the pre-production stage

Season 2 of SNW (DVD, Blu-ray) is available for pre-order from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Strange-New-Worlds-Season-Two-Blu-ray/dp/B0CF4FNG37; 4k is available also at https://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Strange-New-Worlds-Season-2-4K-Blu-ray/dp/B0CF45CKV1. It's a bit pricey--even the standard Blu-ray is over $40, with the 4k nearly $60.
I was going to ask if it was a coincidence that some of those designs looked like Star Trek V / VI because they would have aiming for the same goal of "updating TOS phasers". Then I saw the "pop up targeting system" and I realized that there isn't much that these people don't know about the history of Star Trek phasers.
I've been saying since Disco that if they could make the sets and ships as evocative of TOS as the hand props are they would have something really amazing looking. SNW has moved closer to that mark.

We survived the switch from Dick York to Dick Sargent, we can do this!
I Remember that change well. The show didn't skip a beat.
The two Dumbledores didn't seem to affect the wizarding world much either...
Of course not. It’s magic.
what about the switch from Terrence Howard to Don Cheadle or Ed Norton to Mark Ruffalo?
It's always easier when it's a vast improvement.
Here's something interesting, those who got the XL Eaglemoss DSC Enterprise, we saw part of an early version of the Bridge in the booklet for it. Came out January 2019 at the start of DSC Season 2
And concept art from here for comparison,
https://raygun-mfg-startrek.myportfolio.com/star-trek-discovery-season-2
what links them together the most is whatever those lines and circles are on the floor (I think the one in front of the view screen might be a holo projector)
The concept art for the full bridge is dated August 2017, before DSC Season 1 started airing, before Season 2 was even greenlit. While the images are in the Season 2 page, they're labelled as Season 1 preliminary work. Which makes be wonder if they considered at one point having the bridge built for the Season 1 finale.
Even the idea of the wrap around corridor was there in August 2017

So Ahsoka drops tomorrow at 6PM PST/9 PM EST and I gotta say I'm glad they are moving it to prime time slots. I'm getting too old to stay up until midnight or 11PM (Hint I'm only 33/34). and I gotta ask should Star Trek follow that model for Season 3 of SNW move it to either Wednesdays or Thursday at 6PM or 7? What's your thoughts?
