Or, follow the continuity of the Abrams movies. It's a whole new sandbox to play in, but similar enough to the one we already know that it still means something.
True but u have to make sure u don't mess up Abrams and his continuity so u might be better off waiting until he gets to his last movie before going with a new show. Although who knows he might have really indepth Bible with History Plotted Out. Still safer to move into the future of that versus as well since that lessens damage.
