Surely at this point- it is the overal visuals, and nearly everything to do with Klingons in TOS that is now out of sync?

Discovery fits in ok-ish with ENT and TNG-era does it not?

Not really. Everyone considers holodecks new in TNG, but Disco has them. Okay, the Voyager characters grew up with holodecks, so TNG is the outlier there, I guess. On DS9 everyone treated holographic communication as an amazing new achievement, but in Disco it's SOP. Context is for Kings shows Andoria looking very different than it did on Enterprise, and that's just off the top of my head.

So minor niggles which by your own admission aren't consistent within the existing shows either. There must be a boatload of timelines out there if we're going to this level of detail.

Nah, its the level of realism that's new.
Well it's called "new holo-communicator", so I guess that means there an old version.
Was Andoria seen or just named dropped?

I mean more with events, history, culture etc.

Technology things like communicators, tricorders, holodecks, replicators, computer science, medical science, even quantum physics- I will forgive.

Well, when Lorca is showing Michael the spore drive demonstration at the end of Context is for Kings, he mentions Andoria when we see the planet with the Preserver obelisk on it. Which seems a good indication that planet is meant to be Andoria. But of course, on this forum Occam's Razor means squat.

Do the other locations match up with dialog?

As they're all planets we'd never seen before, I guess it's anyone's guess. Still, one would think that mentioning a planet's name each time we see a new setting would indicated those settings are the planets being named, no?
