Star Trek Discovery side-plot

So as we all know, Discovery is an actively produced Star Trek series right now.
They've got several episodes now, and we have (sort of) a foundation on the main story. I won't say anything specific to avoid spoilers.

I don't know if this has been tried before, but I thought it'd be cool to give it a shot.
Every Sunday a new Discovery episode comes out. I kept thinking, why not make our own side-plot? Maybe another ship or something that follows the real-time developed story, but from a different perspective? After each new episode, it gives us almost a week to plan ours, which we could do on Saturday. The next day, a new Discovery episode with more of the actual story ... rinse and repeat.

I understand this may be winging it a bit (and of course planning might be a little more difficult as we would be confined to another entity's developing story, and with limited time) but it sounded cool to me.

Opinions?
