They need to build on to the history the was created with Next Generation, Voyager, and DS9.
This is just another "retro" show that is set before Kirk's time.
They tried that once before with a little show called "enterprise".
It killed the franchise for a lot of years.
I'll try to be optimistic here....
Star Trek Enterprise was before the Federation, the struggle to bring various planets and species together and build the United Federation of Planets.
Discovery is after that. It's about the expansion of the Federation. While some trouble with the Klingon is to be expected, I'm hoping to see tales of discovery, to boldly go where no man has gone before, new planets, new aliens, new challenges... possibly aliens that we already know from TNG&co, but, to the crew of the Discovery, they should be new.
I don't expect 15 episodes of war with the Klingons... that would be Ent-S03 all over again, and we all know how well that went!
