10 years before Kirk...Spock...THE ENTERPRISE? They're just going to disregard the actual show called ENTERPRISE?
And that's some fancy CGI ... bet it costs a lot! Yep, this isn't going to last, not because of bad ratings, but because it won't turn a profit.
Ten years before Kirk and Spock just means that Captain Robert April is likely the captain of the NCC-1701 Enterprise. Technically, Aprils only appearance is in ST:TAS and Paramount doesn't consider it canon. April also appeared in some of the late 90s Marvel Comics titled Star Trek: Early Voyages. So Discovery has a chance to make that so here.
Kirk was the actual 3rd captain of the ship, Spock served under both Pike and Kirk.
Archer's Enterprise NX-01 is set roughly 100yrs, in the 22nd Century, before the events of TOS and Kirks 5yr mission. The Enterprise 1701 herself was around so it would be nice for Captain Robert April to finally get canonical with this series.
