Here it comes. Is this the big switcheroo I predicted? Episode ten features Nyota Uhura in a regulation fleet uniform with a Lieutenant's stripe, Chapel is in regulation Fleet medical blue. Attacked by Romulans. What happened?

Aren't they all? They tend to look like cover of 13 year old's notebook.
I get mine from Universo Star Trek, thumbnails are fine except for a single lens flare.
Yeah, they're usually pretty "clean". Not sure why so many feel the need to clutter things up with graphics, bad photoshops and OTT commentary.
Yep. Can we rename this thread "Some guy talks about the episode 10 trailer" so people don't waste their time clicking on it?
How did she get promoted to lieutenant ready? Must be time travel? Oh yeah romulans to.
Perhaps this is an alternate future, where Pike somehow avoids the accident which crippled him, and the events of "Balance of Terror" play out with Pike in command instead of Kirk.
Saavik syndrome.
I might be alone in this opinion, but if Pike and crew are experiencing balance of terror ten years earlier this tells us TOS isn't the future and all kinds of stuff are on the table;
+ the spock/t'pring/chapel triangle doesn't have to end in Amok time.
+ La'an might meet and judge her ancestor in Khan.
+ we can revisit Trelane and compare him against the Q.
+ James Kirk can be beside Pike for more than a change in command ceremony.
+ Pikes fate now really is in doubt to the audience.
I'd be all for it. I'd like to see the things, people, and places in TOS as material to tell and retell new stories. I thought it was neat when the Kelvin crew did it for the comics, I'd like to see this cast do similar.
The way I see it DISCO/SNW already broke the ties to TOS with the visual upgrade and a few lore changes anyway. So why not just drop the pretense that it's the same universe and riff away?

I find it more likely this episode is set in an alternate future. Just like Future Imperfect, All Good Things, The Visitor, Before and After, Timeless, Shattered, Endgame, Twilight.
This seems to be the prevailing theory, I'd be disappointed a bit if it's true. I love TOS but it feels like a missed opportunity to shackle so much to those old episodes.
An unambiguous message that SNW isn't beholden to past canon would do so much for the show.
SNW's whole purpose is to be comfort food to life-long Trekkies. It's not going to rock the boat by suddenly carving a separate path unshackled by past canon. The time for that is when Disco was being developed, but they instead declared it the same universe as all the other shows, and SNW as a direct spin-off of Disco must now follow suit.
Yup. Nothing will be broken in terms of newness.
I'm a life-long Trekkie. Watched TOS 1st run in the sixties with my parents when I was a small boy. I would be quite comfortable with a strange new take on the original stories, and giving our shiny, new Captain Pike a solid chance at staying out of 'the chair'. The maintaining visual canon train pulled out of the station with the mirror universe Defiant storyline in Star Trek: Enterprise, and with it, any pretense of continuing an identical timeline, of which Trek already acknowledges an infinite number.
Anson Mount isn't Jeffrey Hunter and Ethan Peck isn't Leonard Nimoy. Bring on the new worlds, and make them as strange and new as is appropriate to a show about going where none have gone before. Anachronistic grasping of the past is not what that little boy watching Star Trek in wonder would have wanted to see over half a century later. The torch has been passed...let's see what's out there.

They just need to make a series set after Picard and then have free reign to do what they want going forward.
Would they really have free reign though, now that Disco is set in the 32nd century? If anything, wouldn't Disco be the only series now which truly has free reign to shake up the status quo as they see fit?
