I think you may have missed the main point of the article [MENTION=12731]CapnZapp[/MENTION]:
I think it's a surprise to no one that I pretty much agree with everything the article says.
But here’s a thought that may seem controversial, depending on your take on Star Trek: maybe the showrunners are right, and Discovery doesn’t need to worry about making its story fit every other existing Trek series.
...
Ultimately, Discovery needs to be good on its own, with strong characters and storytelling, and not a glorified Wikipedia entry that explains where Spock was 10 years before he met Kirk. If it can win fans and build a world while fitting in with the rest of the franchise? All the better. But it seems like the best course of action is to let Discovery focus on being the best show possible, and worry about the consequences later.
