Is Beyond a set-up for Discovery? (spoilers)

Most likely, Discovery is set between ENT and TOS (from the fact it is a USS - we're looking post Romulan Wars and post founding of the UFP). Beyond featured heavily the turmoil in the early days of the Federation where the veterans of the Xindi and Romulan wars had to adjust to a new age of peace and exploration. It is hardly unusual to set up your new spin off via existing media, so can we guess a theme of Discovery is the crew adapting to this new paradigm? Will we see some Franklin-class ships. If his paypacket wasn't an issue, we could get a Krall backstory...

@crashdragon Have you even seen Beyond?​​

Of course he hasn't. He prefers to judge something he's never seen based on a biased opinion using flawed information. Rather than produce a logical, reasoned argument against the new films, he simply parrots the same cherry-picked bits of data and spouts bile and vitriol in the hopes that someone will agree with him and therefore validate his viewpoint.

tl;dr, he's an attention TRIBBLE and we should ignore him.

Not according to the repeated statements by CBS & Lead writer Bryan Fuller who specifically stated the new show is not connected to Beyond.

While a fair point, it doesn't mean they aren't talking to the same era of history. If A focuses on impact of a certain decade then you set B in certain decade, some connection is hard to avoid. The one oft-quoted comment of it not being connected to Beyond could simply be a reiteration that a) they are not linked production wise and b) are not in the same universe or time period.
