The trick with wading into lore as deep and detailed as Star Trek's with a new series is in not letting the established world drag down the story.
On Star Trek: Discovery Season 1 Episode 5, both the periphery and the core of Lorca's abduction and rescue are seeded with nods to classic Star Trek, while the debate over Ripper's fate felt akin to the ethos of Next Gen.

For hard-core Trekkers, the appearance of Harry Mudd was a huge selling point. Harcourt Fenton Mudd, as played by Roger C. Carmel, appeared in two episodes of the original series and one episode of the animated series.
Rainn Wilson does a solid job channeling the bombasity, deviousness, and cowardice of the con man in the Klingon prison ship.
