Considering Kirk took command in either 2265 or 2266, depending on what timeline you adhere to, they'd need to do some time skipping if they want to end the series near the start of TOS.

Discovery was advertised as being 10 years before Kirk and Spock and started in 2256 sooo.

Edit:

Ortegas gets a lot to do in the first 5 episodes according to the TrekCulture video.

They also highly recommend rewatching Season 2 as there's things in the first 5, other than obviously the premier, that you'll need a refresher on.

there's at least a year between episodes 1vand 2 this season, so time jumps shouldn't be a problem.

I also think that having some of Kirks crew there already is very realistic. As long as they don't add anyone else. Its much less realistic to change over everyone except Spock at the same time. Arguably they should have held off on Scotty a little longer, but its not a big deal.

Cillian O'Sullivan is playing Roger Korby as Irish.

Losing the accent should've been Chapel's first clue he'd become a soulless robot.

Oh that would make sense.
I had forgotten about that.

Is this confirmed?

Huh. I guess that settles it for me. I’m Irish as fuck, so I’ve nothing to worry about.

A majority of the episodes have been serious

Looking at SNW to date:

• Season 1: Spock Amok, The Elysian Kingdom
• Season 2: Charades, Those Old Scientists, Subspace Rhapsody
• Season 3: Wedding Bell Blues, A Space Adventure Hour (may be more in the back end).

That comes out to 7 out of the first 25, or 28% of episodes

Season 3: Wedding Bell Blues, A Space Adventure Hour (may be more in the back end).

The Four and a Half Vulcans in the second half

Though I’m not sure why you think wedding bell blues will be unserious. (I haven’t read the preview articles)
