It was stated that Kirk took command when Pike had his accident. And that happened in the original timeline.

To quote Kirk in Court Martial:

"But that's not the way it happened."

Kirk met Pike when he was promoted and didn't learn of the accident until The Menagerie.

In the changed timeline he met Kirk as we saw in this episode.
Who said Kirk took command when Pike had his accident? Not me. You're agreeing with what I posted. That Kirk doesn't meet Pike until the events of "A Quality of Mercy" in the alternate timeline.
 
No, none of that is true.

These shows are/were prequels, they lead into the later shows. So whatever alterations to the timeline DSC stories made in Season 2, help create the timeline we see in TOS.

SNW is in the same timeline we see in TOS, or will lead into the same timeline if they do more time travel.
It suppose to lead to TOS. Besides not all fans will agree with you. They believe that Strange New Worlds is a alternate time.
 
This does lead to TOS. Right now Pike is in command with Ortegas as the helm officer. In seven years it'll be Kirk in command with Sulu as the helm officer. Right now the bridge module has a ready room. In seven years it won't.
 
Hell, the TOS Era bridge even gains a second turbolift around 2269. Even in the 1960s and '70s the design didn't remain stable at all.
 
Pike gets promoted after being dumb and getting the Fed attacked and igniting a war. Things turned put pretty good for Burnham too. I gotta go find me a war to start.

Come to think of it, sounds like US generals and our overall war prosecution and lack of accountability.
