I think we've been here before about Discovery being in an impossible situation being an immediate prequel of TOS. Frankly, Pike extolling something that might have sounded likely in 1966 but sounds old-fashioned in 2019, is the least of anyone's worries. They're still going to have to get rid of new propulsion system at some point and explain away why no other subsequent Treks was able to use it.
I think you just have to park all that and enjoy the new series... or not. Personally, I'm still enjoying this more than most. Episode 2 feels very old-Trek with an away party going down to a planet in disguise. Yes, there's an ongoing story arc, but that's to be expected. Of course, this side of the pond we're lucky that we don't need a whole other TV subscription to essentially watch just this one show. It's on Netflix here thankfully.
