Bashir fell through a wormhole after drinking a "red matter" cocktail at Quark's.
He shot down the Battle of Axanar. How about Cadet Kirk's Axanar Peace Mission?
It doesn't sound to me like the Kirk character will have any part in this show. Or any of the TOS crew for that matter. Other than the mention of Spock's mother, which I thought was strange but likeable, this seems to be about a bunch of new folks, as they've been advertising.

Fuller said he specifically liked Ryder in that role and that it would be nice to have her on the show. He also said it wouldn't be a major story line if she did appear.
Winona! Winona! Winona! I thought she was certainly serviceable in Star Trek as Amanda, but she was pretty amazing in Stranger Things, so some sort of role in DIS would be pretty cool.
They should throw a curveball and cast her as Winona Kirk.

What if ST: Discovery is jumping off the Battle of Donatu V? It's the only thing close enough to Discovery that's not the Earth-Romulan War, Battle of Axanar, or the Kobayashi Maru. To the best of my knowledge they didn't say there wasn't a prologue scene, ie DS9's Emissary.
Donatu V could be a possibility for sure. Also, it's around 10 years before The Cage so would technically be 10 years before TOS (if including The Cage).
No, but that seems to be what everbody wants.
However! I will say that does fit the timeline, and we do know they have a Klingon Captain in the cast. It also fits the description of 'mentioned, but never seen.'
And we do know the first scene is not on a planet, so... Ambush near Donatu V resulting in an inconclusive skirmish and spring boarding some kind of an event?
Supposition, all of it, but still... Fascinating.
Not me.
I think we may see skirmishes but the emphasis will be on cold war tension. The show might start with a Starfleet flotilla observing Klingons moving into and occupying a neutral system. Can Starfleet intervene? Wouldn't that doom any negotiations underway? Mightn't it lead to catastrophic war? A difficult situation.
This is odd because the aintitcool.com web site is reporting that he gave a hint yesterday about it being a war mentioned in the TOS episode "Whom Gods Destroy" and Axnar is mentioned by Kirk in that episode.
Link?
I bet Harry Knowles prints out this comment and frames it. "Someone called a writer on my site a reporter! I'm finally legitimate!"
That said, Hercules' guesses are generally pretty good - to the point where his "guesses" could be cover for "This is what I know but can't actually say yet" .
We'll all find out soon enough.
Unless Bryan Fuller is flat lying, he said it has nothing to do with Axanar.
From reports I've read the statement was a bit more ambiguous - saying that the show is not set around Axanar, not that Axanar will not be a part of the show - ie. Axanar, Romulans, Kobayashi Maru, are not the driving force of the show, but that doesn't preclude them from being in the show. That'd be pretty self restrictive of the production team.
Besides, nobody in the history of film or TV has ever lied to hide an important plot point of their project
I don't know what the new show is about. Even the production team themselves can't say with 100% certainty what the show is about. It's a rare production as early as this one that makes to to screen without significant changes. Fuller himself ran a show for one episode before he was fired and the entire ongoing plot line scrapped and redone under a new show runner.
I think I'm going to go to the TOS forum and ask for a list of TOS references to events around ten years in the past. Could be fun.
