    I hope there are some true TOS & TNG fans who value Trek “cannon” who are going to give them H3LL for destroying Trek continuity. While the exterior of the Federation ships MAY fit the timeline, nothing else does, including those ridiculous cat-suit “uniforms” & Klingons who look like Xindi. EVERYTHING, from uniforms to sets, to props, should have been based on the first pilot: “The Cage”! This show should be the bridge between Star Trek: Enterprise & the first Star Trek pilot, but it looks more like Galaxy Quest instead. Way to go. Ugh.
