Nice!
Yeah, we've been talking about that in the thread below from this particular post on...
https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/uss-enterprise-eventually-on-discovery.288986/page-430#post-12727756
The video in the OP appears to have been removed, but I assume we're talking about what Trekmovie has an article about here?
Just looking over the computer graphic about the Enterprise, sweet shit they're canonising a large amount of fanon there, including the bit about Pike commanding two five year missions.

It’s for the audience’s sake.
We’ve been discussing it for about 5 pages in the Enterprise focused thread.
I don’t think so as it’s still on the official twitter account.

And the link in the middle of my first post still work for me.
It's a Facebook video, so I don't know if it's Region Locked.
It's still on the Official Discovery FB page...

Perhaps they're Kelvin universe stardates
LoL! How presumptuous they were. Thinking that the Federation would just use the Earth year.Perhaps they're Kelvin universe stardates
That had JJ written all over that.
There’s no decimal point.Perhaps they're Kelvin universe stardates
Plus they’ve already used several normal Stardates in dialogue in season 1.

...Normal in the sense that they decreased in value as time passed! (Timekeeping value, that is, in addition to numerical value.)
Not that Kelvin stardates would have been much better, though.
I do wonder how much of this can be read in the final product. A mass of 190,000 tons is a Canon! Violation! and rapes my childhood since Scotty said "nearly a million gross tons", but telling that 1 from a 7 won't be possible unless they do a close-up...

Not necessary unless pinpointing the exact date. Plus, it was a joke.
If by "normal" you mean "completely random numbers" then yes.
Stardates in the TOS Era mean nothing and aren't useful for anything long-term. I wouldn't put them on a dedication plaque. Stardates in the TNG Era at least make some sort of sense (1,000 stardate units equal a year). From 2323 on, you can convert a Stardate into a Gregorian Date. In TOS, no such luck. TAS and DSC stardates are even worse.
My issue isn't the Gregorian Date (as Earth-centric as it is) but that it says 2245 AD. Anno Domini. AD means "In the Year of Our Lord". It should be CE. "Common Era". Especially if the Federation is supposed to be post-God-fearing.
