The only real saving grace for Abrams was the Simon Pegg writing in Beyond. He gave the characters something to do beyond set pieces, and actually has some respect for Roddenberry.
I fully expect Discovery to introduce the Romulans, only they will be covered in fur and mumble a lot. They will fight the Andorians, who will only have eyes on the top of their antennae, and no mouths. They will speak only through elbow flapping, and will spend most of their energy politically denigrating the Romulan protected slug people of Nebulor 7.
