But I'd rather have seen them push forward (as they have done with Star Trek: Picard), and/or see something set between the original series and the Next Generation.  We didn't see much of that era; we only saw small glimpses, such as one episode showing the Enterprise C and a movie that briefly showed the Enterprise B.

I just miss that in a way it's was more optimistic in the past, even 
during TNG etc.

But Discovery and Picard, it's more dark, pessimistic. In 
TNG/Voyager/DS9 thing where no always looking bright for the federation 
etc, but the federation held to it's value mostly and resolved things.

Event Discovery that is a prequel to TOS don't feel like that.

So I prefer that they go forward in time instead of tying to insert 
stuff inside the already established timeline. It's way harder for 
writers, they are stuck with situation where they have to take into 
account of continuity and with such a long history it's almost 
impossible to do, also it gives them a lot more freedom because now they 
can do what they want, don't have to remember that species X only 
appeared in TNG, and that conflict with species happened for Y reasons, 
so you can't play with that because you now brake canon and people get 
pissed.

Or you do like a series like Orville, it's smell like tng but it's not, 
so you don't have rules to follow and are free to establish your own.
