The real one is whatever one the writers/franchise owners say it is.
And that changes from iteration to iteration. My point is: I have no problem believing that the changes to the timeline made in FC and Enterprise could bring about the mid-23rd century we see in Disco.
I think this is the best way to look at it. Or, in other words, they are all "real". All part of a vast multi-verse, which depends on how one looks at it all.
Which means none of it is really real in any meaningful sense as writers and owners change. At one point, "Pathways" was supposedly part of Janeway's backstory, then it wasn't when writers on the show changed.
But until that happens, I'll go with what the current people say.
I just prefer to watch and fit it together as I see fit. That way writers and owners changing has no effect on what I see as the universe.
In my mind, every instance of time travel in Trek creates an alternate timeline. Branch off enough, you change how things go on a major level. I have said (and was laughed off at the time) that NX-01 looked “more advanced” because of the events of FC. I figured this would continue and appeared to do so either the Kelvin films and perhaps even moreso with Disco. It is all (and I imagine Fred Archer’s brain imploding as I say this) canon. It is just changed because of how much the timeline has changed. The same big events happen, more or less, but they could look different. It gives them the opportunity to either tell new tales in a bigger sandbox or do a retelling or reboot.
Or, ya know, it’s a TV series made in the late 2010s as opposed to the 1960s. Regardless, it’s just an explanation in my head and doesn’t really effect my enjoyment of the show.

The designer of said ship never thought she looked more advanced than the Connie.
Doug Drexler was a big TOS fan though, so he may have been bias.
It is all canon... especially the stuff that is non-canon.
Mind. Blown.
He might have been. And all of this is really in the eye of the beholder, isn’t it? It might have been his intent but we all see things in our own way.
Nope. You have to see it CBS'/creators way, or else they will come rip your internet connection right out of the wall!

Well... fuck.
Clearly.
What I don’t get is why to completely abandon the Klingon ship design lineage. I think I see a D-7ish ship appearing in one of the trailers so that’s cool. But still... a little strange.
Again, doesn’t change the enjoyment, just was a head scratcher. I suppose it could be the “house” thing.
The Klingon stuff is really what throws Discovery into its own unique timeline for me. And no amount of walking it back is going to change it.
And.... you've just proven my point.
Every single thing you just said is completely contrary to fact.
Yes. No. Maybe?
It is more that just the xenomorph Klingons, it is the technology, it is the way they act. In TMP, they gave us a new look for the Klingons but attached them to very obvious Klingon ships.
I don't think a more alien version of Klingons is necessarily a bad idea. I think a more alien version of Klingons in a universe where they've been pretty well fleshed out was poorly thought out.
