It's possible, but didn't he reportedly only join Starfleet a couple years before DSC takes place? We know he was on Capella IV just before going to the Enterprise under Kirk, but could have been there before as well, under Boyce and then Piper.
This. How Kirk and Company got to the center of the galaxy in twenty minutes.
Never thought of that. It's generally accepted that he didn't join until the beginning of the five year mission, but you're right that there's no reason to think he didn't serve on the ship under Boyce or Piper for a time.
We know he was on Capella IV shortly before the five year mission, and he was on the Enterprise for 27 years before Star Trek VI.
Could be. I liken it also to Generations where we saw the combination of TNG and DS9/VOY uniforms in use aboard the Enterprise. After all, for the most part, the uniforms are supposed to be what distinguishes each series' look from each other.
Almost did that...glad you did
There is no way to tell how big it is. The discovery could easily be further away.
We have no basis for its size. The windows are the same sizes they were in TOS.
This is what I've always assumed as well. It was also probably the reason for re-calibrating the warp scale.
Yup - I mean, perhaps he became Chief Medical Officer at the start of the Enterprise's five year mission under Kirk. Though it's only established in Star Trek (2009), I thought the prime universe crew could have come together in a very similar way. The entire bridge crew, for all we know, could have potentially served under Pike (perhaps in different capacities) towards the end and remained there when Kirk took over as her captain.
Point is, in the prime universe, we don't really know what brought Kirk and his crew together or when their tours on the Enterprise began. Lots of room to explore and establish that, in my opinion.
This.
What he said!
Yeah the idea of the hand-picked crew is pretty much unique to Picard and the Enterprise-D - but even he doesn't expressly pick Crusher, he tells her she doesn't have to take the post, not knowing she volunteered. It's a bit different because she was a new ship, Kirk's Enterprise had twenty years behind her.
Sisko picks out Dax because she's his old friend, as Tuvok is to Janeway. But the rest of their crews either volunteer or are assigned.
I guess Archer is a bit of an exception too come to think of it.
And, again, using Star Trek (2009) as a reference, Spock asks Kirk if he may remain aboard. And Kirk accepts. Even though that's established as an alternate reality, it's still a story that we've never really seen and can point to it as MAYBE something like this happening in the prime universe.
I think it would be similar, along the lines of Pike leaving, Kirk assuming command and Spock submitting his request to stay aboard as First Officer (while taking the Science Officer post as well). Since Vulcan wasn't destroyed in the Prime Universe, it could have been more along the lines of requesting to stay aboard (with the promotion to First Officer) instead of that post on another ship.
I'm weirdly positively surprised how well the Enterprise and the Discovery scaled in size to each other.
Like, they were probably hiding the true size-relationship in their shot. But considering the unrealistic large size given for the Discovery (700+ meters), and the "official" (IMO much too small) size of the Enterprise (300+ meters) - I expected them to fully fuck that up, and either have a massively super-sized Enterprise, or a tiny under-scaled one compared to the DIS (think of all the "size threads" here around).
But hell, they nailed it!
That's how it should be. The Discovery has more volume. But the Enterprise is still a beast. One that - even having a somewhat smaller size - is believable as the frontman of the Federation fleet, the overachiever, the one everyone is looking up to.
Well done!

OK, so I see big windows on the bottom sides of the saucer. It also sure looked like windows across the top front of the saucer, but that could just be the lighting.
Pretty sure that's the light source for the registry.
A lot of the ships for discovery have visible sources like that. It was something John Eaves did.
It might be buried in this thread. But has anyone else noticed the Enterprise has the Bridge "window" as well?
