EAS is predicably underwhelmed. Calling a show a complete failure doesn't make much sense when it's getting this spin off.

That's probably what's not going to happen. That camp, in general, hates what DSC and PIC have done and sees SNW as something they wanted CBSAA to do all along. If The Orville doesn't have a fourth season, they'll make SNW their new home. They're trying to tell those fans "Come home!" I'd much prefer if they wouldn't, but it is what it is. Reducing it to strictly numbers, broadening the tent makes sense.
That is some serious chimp-out shit flinging by man afraid of change. TOS isn't suddenly going to phase out of reality because of a Pike Series.
Also I have to wonder if Bernd has actually watched and classic Star Trek recently with his comments regarding Starfleet. Over the multiple series, Starfleet has often been shown to a less than honorable organisation and it was our heroes that set it right. Like who the fudge does he think put a stop to the plan to genocide the Klingons? It was Starfleet officers.
I don't think one call it a spin-off in the traditional way. It's focusing on characters created before Discovery was created and were not part of the core cast of Discovery as in being characters going back to season 1. Plus it's also kind of a fluke in that Pike wasn't brought in to someday lead to a Pike show. This is all about the fans reaction to the character being so strong they gave in and decided to give the fans what they want that is until the first canon violation or to much diversity or something pisses someone off on YouTube and then it will be back to talking about how it's going to be cancelled. Midnight Edge is probably already crafting it's "CBS drives a Pike through new Trek show." cancel videos.

There is a bit of excitement for a new show (always at first), a bit of trepidation as I've seen the writing of Discovery and Picard. One thing I do know, the casting will be top notch.
I'm not so sure about this. I mean a lot of these fans have a MASSIVE hate for the ones who run Star Trek at the moment. Somehow I can't see them happily returning to "Kurtzman-Trek". To me it seems far more likely that they'll trash SNW in the same way they've been trashing DSC and PIC. I'm a member of a German sci-fi board where the overwhelming majority of people absolutely loathe DSC and PIC (and make it known at every possible moment) and the announcement of the Pike series created only one reaction over two pages: "Oh no, not again, they're going to ruin this show, too, this will be the same disappointment as DSC and PIC were, it's the same people in charge, don't trust them, this is going to be bad".
Rose Colored Glasses keep on selling.
You know what will probably suffer because of this are the Kelvin movies.I can't see the studio wanting to have two Enterprises, two Spocks set around the same time but not part of each other's continuity competing against each other and/or confusing casual fans and viewers. The movies will probably go in a different direction now with a new cast of characters.
Situation Normal, then. All the right people hate it.
It seems the Noah Hawley Star Trek movie won't be another Kelvin universe movie and none of the actors are scheduled to return to their roles.
I love Pine as Kirk but it would be nice to see the Kelvin Films continue on with a new crew and do something a little new.
Which?
I don't much give a shit if he's a good person, I just want a good actor that is written well.
Life is too long to elevate douche bags to prominence, honey.
The world is already full of douche bags that are prominent, one more isn't going to make or break us.
Seems more time consuming to spend so much time worrying about strangers flaws.
