Also I just remembered. Matthew Decker was the commodore who captained the USS Constellation and wanted to destroy the "Doomsday weapon"

>If the rumors are true, it's the nuTrek Paramount / Bad Robot license and stipulates that everything has to look different.

those aren't rumors it's been directly and indirectly confirmed. It's why they had to for instance change the look of the uniforms for nuTrek. It wasn't done for shits and giggles it had to be distinct from the original.

A big reason for this is because of just how huge Star Trek is with merchandising and branding. If CBS lost that branding the brand would be useless. JJ Abrams for instance wanted there to be only JJ Trek merchandise after his series, and CBS agreed only if JJ Trek merchandise was successful. When it predictably tanked JJ Abrams jumped ship to Star Wars.

They apparently had to license certain things from the original series separately like tribbles in particular because of these very specific license agreements.

I somewhat doubt the writers even remember Garth

I do think that the writers were too dumb to set Discovery during the events of Axanar and were more annoyed at the budget and how marketed it was. I don't think Paramount/CBS expected the push back it got which is why I think there wasn't so much buzz around Star Trek Continues.

Actually I think this more so confirms that they're not going to do Axanar. If they did they would've put Garth here and would've used it as a lead up to introducing him.

Either that or they plan to introduce him partway through the series and have him feature a hero's journey into becoming the hero that Kirk eventually worships in TOS but that seems less likely as the show is really pushing Michael as the hero of the series.
