In the KT the Enterprise's maiden voyage hasn't happened yet when Discovery takes place. In fact, it should be still under construction if Discovery was Kelvin Timeline.
Plus you know the completely different design.
Poll Do you consider Discovery to truly be in the Prime Timeline at this point?

It's when Admiral Marcus talks about looming war with the klingons, he lists everything "evil" they did at this point - annexing planets, being general dicks - but full-out war is only anticipated, nothing that already has had happened.
Yes, they share some similarities (bridge windows mainly). But that can be attributed to both having partly the same production stuff, and both trying to be a modernized version of the same thing - TOS how it would have been depicted now. But they are clearly seperated in terms of story and continuity.
Okay, I read that. And he doesn't actually say that his list is an exhaustive one, or that the anticipated war would be the first one.
Perhaps.
Not Perhaps, Discovery already counters this theory with the appearance of the Enterprise.
Which according to ST'09 is under construction at this moment.
Does it? There's nothing in Kelvin Trek to suggest that the Enterprise we see there is the first of the name, right?
1701 with no A
Which could simply mean that they didn't start using the letter suffixes until the Beyond Enterprise.
You're being obtuse.
It's Prime Timeline with no connection to Kelvin this is fact.
Anything else is head-canon.
That's certainly one opinion.
It may or may not be part of the Kelvin timeline - as I've said, to me at least that is an open question. I could buy DT as being in a continuity that is entirely its own, for sure.
But it certainly doesn't appear to be in the Prime Timeline.
Visuals sure, but the lore is Prime.
No, I don't think so.
It clearly is.
That's one opinion. And mine is that it clearly isn't. DiscoTrek only really makes any sense as a non-Prime timeline show.
Only in the visual department.
Guess we will have to agree to disagree on that one.
What show's in Kelvin Timeline then?
none?
MeMeMe!
But the show itself says otherwiseMeMeMe!
I guess nobody told Evil Jim Kirk or Smiley O'Brien that they're supposed to have eye problems.
And nobody told Regent Worf or the Cardassian-Klingon alliance that the Klingon homeworld was annihilated a century before.
It's "clear" as mud. Or perhaps Mudd, who's gone from sex trafficking nucence to Klingon collaborator and mass murderer.
