Yep.
Are bonus scenes canon?

Yep.
Really? what's their beef?
I also confused a bonus scene with a deleted scene at first. Then I realised this was actually a bonus one upon watching. It's seem like out of the rulebook, we're in uncharted canon territory now.
Nope, just checked, still there. I recommend The Trouble with Tribbles to see it.
If we flash forward to Kirk's five year mission during Discovery, which version do you expect to see?
Whatever version we see, the original episodes are still canon.
I don't think they really are. I believe, at some point, they will have a series that revisits the time period of TOS, but will have a Discovery design style. There's simply no way to reconcile the two as both existing in the same timeline.
Timelines and canon aren't the same thing though - the Kelvin movies are canonical, but explicitly a different timeline, and show a different version of the TOS era.
I misspoke when using "canon" when I should have been using timeline.
Essentially, TOS will eventually be kicked from the timeline it created.
They've confirmed this is the case, and it's happened already on screen. I doubt we'll ever see TOS design and aesthetic again in anything new.
If the show eventually features Kirk as Captain, it'll use the ship design of the Enterprise we'll see in Season 2 and whatever the costumes look like. The timeline is basically "Visually Rebooted Prime", where the exact same events happen but it looks different. It's not that hard to get your head around.
Nope. The events still happened they just look a little bit different.
So you think they are going to do a new version of Kirk and Company and leave the events intact?
Then they aren't the same events.
I doubt they'll remake episodes, they'll show events that happened between them.So you think they are going to do a new version of Kirk and Company and leave the events intact?
I don't think the show will reach the 2260s however. If they do they better leave the Enterprise out if.
If they perform the exact same actions, then they're the same events.
If I own a '66 Mustang, and someone takes it away and puts a 2018 version in my driveway, it doesn't make them the same car. No matter how many times they exclaim "its a Mustang!!!"
Time changes things. The life experiences of these writers changes the way they approach the material in comparison to their 1960's counterparts. Something I've been trying to get at for a while. The look is a conscious change to the universe, the writing no matter how hard they try will never be like the writing of the 1960's. Trying to make the two co-exist in a consistent narrative simply doesn't work.
We go from women hiding behind men to women in firefights. The latter is more preferable, but inconsistent with the world created in the 1960's. There was more of a cowboy mentality to the writing of TOS, there was a more theatrical acting style. Things that will never be consistent between the two.
TOS and everything after it do it fine.
