1. You think a whole lot more highly of them than I do

I thought Discovery totally gutted the source material and ruined Spock as a character. It got me missing the Star Trek V Spock's brother with shoe horning in Michael Burnam as Spock's adopted sister. The show itself ripped off the IP of a video game. I do agree that the best thing they did was move Discovery into the future.

I thought after all these years that the next view of the Star Trek prime universe post Nemesis and ST: DS9 was a mess. Again they showed little respect for the source material. It was contradictory to what went before (the Star Trek reboot that started in the Prime universe). It did not feel like Star Trek. It was petty, inconsistent, and derivative.

I would be totally on board with a Pike Enterprise show though. Pike was the best part of Season 2, and they did do a good job integrating the Talos IV story line. I would highly recommend they they at least spend some time with the prequel novels to mine for story ideas.
