The Klingons in Star Trek's

Strange New Worlds are not being presented by the canon establish in prior series.

They are suppose to be human looking - not 2nd Generation looking.
If they are not following the establish canon with the Klingons.

Then why should the writers be obligated to follow the canon of

Captain Pike's fate. If you know what your future is then you can change

it. The Cage was a horrible pilot for the OS.
