Spoilers Star Trek Academy [spoiler thread]

I have not - it sounds like more my jam. I'll check it out tonight!

To me, SNW feels more like a spiritual successor to TOS than TNG did. I guess it had the benefit of having a soft launch in Disco, which I never saw, but it does hit the ground running in season 1 in a way that other successors didn't.

I grew up watching TOS at my Granpa's knee (literally) so I am looking forward to this, quite a lot!

I will advise, however, that you're going to see some canon holes. And I mean cannon ball sized canon holes. If you can just let that flow over you, you're in for a nice ride. Still a couple of seasons to go.

The Discovery episodes with Captain Pike are, IMO, some of the best Discovery episodes - and worth checking out.

Plus, while not necessary, they give some more context to the first episode of SNW and what the heck caused the issue they're dealing with

Yeah, the writers are treating canon as merely suggestions/guidelines on SNW.
