Not me. It should keep its distance from established canon. That's what messed up Discovery so much. I don't want the show running any longer than five years. Keep the timeline as separate as possible. Don't add new things to an existing canon. Detail parts of the old canon we simply haven't seen yet.I hope this series will last long enough to build up to the events of TOS.
Yeah, I don't like the idea of them making this series a backdoor pilot for Kirk's OT reboot. I didn't mind U'Hura at first, but then we keep getting callbacks to Spock & Chapel. Dr. M'Benga essentially is a diversity casting. Which this series is guilty. Then they have the nerve to kill the one major original character this show gave us. I would be irate had this series not been so good.Not me. It should keep its distance from established canon. That's what messed up Discovery so much.

For the record, this show's version of Christine Chapel pisses me off on every level. They need to knock crap like that off. Now.
It's not just the first Red Shirt death that mattered. I'd argue it's the first Star Trek death that mattered period.
*ahem* Tasha Yar, anyone?It's not just the first Red Shirt death that mattered. I'd argue it's the first Star Trek death that mattered period.
Tasha Yar was actually the first crappy Star Trek death EVER. She got the ball rolling for no Star Trek death mattering or emotionally resonating.*ahem* Tasha Yar, anyone?

You do realise that he's actually a pre-existing character, right? He first appeared in The Original Series episode "A Private Little War", played by Booker Bradshaw.Dr. M'Benga essentially is a diversity casting.
Yes he did. I thought his addition was cool.You do realise that he's actually a pre-existing character, right? He first appeared in The Original Series episode "A Private Little War", played by Booker Bradshaw.
7/19: I know full well. He was in a few eps. I just think they dropped Dr. Boyce for PC reasons. I think that relationship was probably too close to Kirk & Bones. So not a massive argument for me.You do realise that he's actually a pre-existing character, right? He first appeared in The Original Series episode "A Private Little War", played by Booker Bradshaw.
