The writer of this article clearly was not focused on the ending, T'Pol clearly stated that she was asked to tell a story. She made the whole thing up! .....

Hello! Is it really that hard to create content for consumption?

While I think overall, SNW is a great drama; I would like to see the focus on Pike more often, way more! Personally, I think it was wrong to break canon on Pike's accident and the gorn. All the while playing up a cornucopia of connections to other Trek tropes and history.

KIRK (TOS) clearly had never known about the gorn.

Pike (TOS) Clearly did not have prior knowledge of his accident.
