And getting more Pike has been this Trek fan's long desire since the early 90s.
Plus George Kirk is a surprisingly good add on. And T'Pring too. It's like, these characters now have a life outside their first episode appearance.
Ways that SNW actually improved TOS

but, we would have so many amazing fan series by this point......
i detract points, for never showing three separate bulky scanning devices getting combined and miniaturized into a TRI corder. lol.
so early on we were already getting things like alien holodecks. it was just too much.
ENT only makes sense when you can take into account things like time wars, borg drone technology, timeline rewrites and outside meddeling.
then they go and screw that up with season 4, which is what the entire show should have been originally, but coming in after the first 3 seasons make it very clear this is an altered-by-time-war time-line, its too little too late, and actually messes things up.
Why can't aliens have technology more advanced than humans? Aliens in TOS had tech not available to the Federation.
Lasers is just another way of saying phasers but with less realism.
From the other perspective, the Hiigoran (spell?) and Voyager with the Holodecks. Or the Kazon and water. Or the Borg and Data. Etc...
And it was a better show for it.
Hell, a single TNG episode in which Picard couldn't jawbone a technologically superior species changed that series forever.
Nope
Enterprise was a prequel, so everything that happened in that show already happened from TOS's perspective. Even the timeline changes.
Nope. In the original timeline the NX was supposed to be destroyed in an accident. It was saved as part of the time war. They were supposed to die, not become instrumental in forming the federation, let alone giving importance to the name Enterprise.
ENT is a direct product of first contact and the time war, at least in its first couple seasons.
Or the entire "Prime timeline" is a product of First Contact and the time war.
No, I think they were supposed to be the same thing, but the name got shortened over time, like how "motorcar" got shortened to "car." It was the earlier "spatial torpedoes" that were different.
Too much rebooting in the PU. YMMV.
The issue issue I have is the phasers. Like where's the blue stream? I pay to see beam spam, nut pulsating bolts. Of photons.
Bleah
I've yet to find one.

almost every small background detail about the 22nd century and early days, mentioned in early TNG and TOS, has been contradicted. This only makes sense if what we watched was the linear sequence of temporal events. ENT and DSC are not actual narrative prequels. The franchise should be watched in production order. TOS, TNG+, FC, ENT, DSC, SNW. The timewar extends backwards, as evidenced in SNW, which blatantly shows a rewritten 20th/21st century.
I will defend STC until the end of time. Its what drew me back to Trek fandom after a 2 decade break caused by the TNG movies.
The crackdown and guidelines woudln't have been so severe if there was no new Trek coming. They would have singled out Axanar and the rest would have continued unencombered. With modern technology and the at-the-time-allowed budgets, we would be hitting some fantastic peak content by now.
