This is akin to TMP giving us the refit Enterprise while making absolutely no mention of the changes, as though the refit design was how she had looked the entire time...

Excuse me if I'm missing the sarcasm here, but like the first half hour of the movie is all about how they've just spent 18 months completely redesigning and refitting the Enterprise, with Decker arguing with Kirk taking over command because it's an almost entirely new ship to the point of him being unfamiliar with it, along with the full tour of the new interior, and slow space shots of Kirk seeing the new exterior. It's a major plot point. One of the few in the movie in fact. :lol
Unless you feel that no Star Trek should exist unless it stars Kirk and the original crew, the simple answer is simple. It's Star Trek.
That's a non-answer. Just being labeled Star Trek does not establish a workable relation to TOS. And since this series is trying to be pre-TOS, it has to establish strong relations to that show and it's canon. Too bad they fouled that up with the "10 years before Kirk Spock and the Enterprise" line.

Name dropping "Star Trek" doesn't work to establish a strong relation to TOS
It's starting to look like a Galaxy Quest parody.
For crying out loud.
I DON'T CARE HOW THIS SERIES RELATES TO THE ORIGINAL!
The stuff I do care about is whether or not this series will be any good and what new things it will bring to the franchise as a whole. While I have no doubt that there will be many elements of TOS here and there, it should not be limited solely to what TOS had covered. The Star Trek universe is freaking huge. So what if there are ships that look different and there are Klingons who have ridges? I've been through dozens of franchise destroying retcons over the years and what I see here doesn't even make a blip on my radar.
In short: I don't know how this series is going to work, but I'm anxious to find out if it does.
