However, they persist with the stupid ship and the spore drive. They have come up with a technobabble reason to not use it anymore, which is something. But we still have people coming back from the dead because of it, an engineer with special powers because of it. Plus a crew containing an android and races we've never seen before. Not to mention Spock having a sister and no brother and all the other things.
Hence the reference to Talos IV (but nothing of general order 7, yet).
From the change of uniform, I'm going to gather that Christopher Pike is on Discovery to stay in the center seat, which , if true, lends credence to my argument that STD is yet another seperate timeline/universe from the jar jar verse and the prime verse.
