Kelvin Timeline all but confirmed
- Thread starter captainkirk
- Start date
Yep.
It doesn't bother me that the 2254 rank pips are different.
It bothers me that they're too damn SMALL. What's the point of having them, if no one can read them?

I'm just quoting the DSC trailer which doesn't give an exact date, it just says 10 years before Kirk, Spock, and the Enterprise. That is vague enough to not really mean anything.
^ What could "Kirk, Spock and the Enterprise" possibly mean, other than TOS? We all know that's what it means.
And here's your "wiggle room": Starfleet just has many different uniform styles, and it's up to the captain which one is worn on any given ship.
Seems easy enough.
(Hey, at least the 2254 uniforms have the same color scheme as 'The Cage' - the DSC unis may be blue, but their "foil" is the same color as the Cage unis had.)

Given the types of name badges I work with at work, I don't think it is as bad in person as it is watching it on the screen.
Unless it's sweaters and stripes I'm not buying it^ What could "Kirk, Spock and the Enterprise" possibly mean, other than TOS? We all know that's what it means.

That doesn't help the viewer at home, though. 
HD isn't canon!!Nice try. But we've all seen them up close and in glorious HD.
No, but if you're designing it in person, then I can see how that might happen.That doesn't help the viewer at home, though.
Obviously, film is a visual medium, and that should definitely be considered.
But, then again, now we are in HD
Exactly!
I'll go with that.
Personally, my favourite option is a hybrid of TOS and the Future Imperfect style.
Oooh! That's nice! Easy to see and determine rank grade from a distance. That would have been a much better option than the stupid little dots. 
I can only hope.It could mean these three:
The construction he's using, "without spoiling anything," is a not uncommon one. He's not obliged to word things they way you might prefer he did.
I have no preference for how he should have worded it. I'm just noting that if it is Prime then in no way is that a spoiler, but if it isn't Prime then it would be.
Precisely. That appears to be precisely why he said "without spoiling anything." Those words reinforce the notion that it is, in fact, Prime, as already revealed and generally understood to be the case.
I'll admit that it can be interpreted multiple ways. My interpretation is that he's vague on the timeline because it's some kind of spoiler.
