I can only imagine what Discovery could of been if it was set after DS9. Instead its set 10 years before TOS, and violates canon almost purposely just to rile up the base with very negative results. The tech is way too advanced and the sci fi and plots are way more fantasy than it needs to be.
So far IMO "Calypso" is the absolute best story that has been created. It is set 1000 years after TOS. It only has 1 actor and the ships computer and has way more possibilities of a great epic story than anything Discovery has accomplished so far. Sadly its just a short trek, yet it proves that a great story can be produced.
CBS is trying to leverage the heart and soul of Star Trek for profit. I suggest the writers need to discover a good story first, then make a show around it.
