When Should The New Star Trek Take Place?

Coming off the heels of Star Trek's 50th anniversary will be a whole new television series for the franchise.  The pilot episode will air on CBS, but then you'll have to subscribe to CBS's streaming service, CBS All Access, to see all of the other episodes.  The question that people are asking, though, is just when will it take place?  We have all of the history of the other television shows to consider, like Star Trek (TOS), Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Enterprise.  Then we also have to consider the movies, including the most recent two that pretty much changed the entire history of the show.  So what should we expect?

This is a question that Screenrant.com recently asked, and they gave a pretty good answer on what they should do.  Their suggestion is to have the show take place after the distruction of Romulus, which took place in the 2009 movie Star Trek.  The reason why this would be a logical decision is so the new show won't interfere with the reboot movies, which can take place in an alternate timeline away from the "Prime Timeline," and it can still use the history of all of the previous shows.  It would also be smart for them to keep the television show and the movies separate so each can do their own thing, without worrying about how it would affect one another.

So what do you think about this idea?  I think they make a sound argument, but I want to know what you all think.  Leave your thoughts in the comments section down below, and tell me what you would like to see from the new series.
