Or since they were leaving Earth at the time, it was switching from one system to another?
Or probably an error where they didn't find-and-replace all the instances.

Yes, it has been commented upon. And it apparently works out to February 11, 2259, which fits the snowy landscape in Montana.
I just saw the first episode again for the third time. Probably might take in several more viewings of it. I even paused it to look at some of the sets. That engineering set blows what was in the reboot movies out of the water, well just about all the sets in Strange New Worlds are FAR better than what was in the Kelvin movies. Then again, I could say that just about everything.
I mentioned this on the first episode thread but so far on Rotten Tomatoes - the season is still sitting at 100% with 31 reviews.

Bill will just say "multiverse" to that.
A friend shared this youtube comment about the Theme, I wonder if it was intentional
I wonder what key Archer's theme is in?
Notice? It was one of my few gripes with the episode!
But at least it gave us an approximation of when in 2259 it takes place.
I saw. I was like please let them use the Kelvin Stardate from now on.
Yeah in the Alternate Reality, a couple of weeks the events of Star Trek Into Darkness would take place.
In the original series Bible it was stated that Stardates changed not only based on "time passed" but also on location in the Galaxy; so maybe they are actually trying to follow that here.
Impossible. They've never seen Star Trek.
So, one of the local morning D.J.s here in Seattle is a sci-fi/fantasy nerd/geek. He's old enough to have seen TOS when it first aired. He's been "meh" to indifferent to "Discovery" and "Picard". Yesterday morning, I did something I've never done before, I called into the station, got on air, and asked him what he thought of "SNW". He couldn't praise it enough. He liked the new characters. He liked the new actors playing the old characters; and was able to correctly name them. (Anson Mount elicited laughs from his co-hosts, who joked that it sounded like a porn star name.) He liked the story and the call backs to TOS and couldn't wait to watch more episodes. If a sixty plus, old school TOS fan can get into this and recommend his listeners watch it, then they must be doing something right.
Or they've been involved as more than friends over the course of 22 years. Nowhere in Amok Time does Spock say they haven't seen each other since they were 7 only that they were betrothed at 7. And it seemed clear from the visual cues in SNW they know each other pretty well cuz they're doing the sexy.
Response: As I remember it, Fontana's take on the issue was that Vulcans can and do have sex whenever they want, but approximately every seven years, the biological urge becomes imperative and cannot be ignored.
My take would be that "elective, recreational" sex does not reset the pon farr clock.
What am I, chopped liver?
But, I'm an exception.
I'm 63 and like all the iterations of Trek. ... TOS through SNW.
The production values are spectacular, though I still have trouble with some aspects of the set design (for all the new iterations). The interiors of private quarters for example, don't always make visual sense to me. They look uncomfortable to actually live in (except Saru's on Discovery because he has a bunch of plants). So I'm looking forward to seeing the captain's quarters next week and how the interiors work with actual bodies moving around in them. I also decided the vast room on Vulcan where Spock and T'Pring are getting ready to get busy is actually a fancy hotel suite. I loved the costume design for the Kiley people. And T'Pring rocks a retro quasi-behive hairdo and gets to wear a beautiful dress reminiscent of the one she wore in Amok Time. You know, because Vulcan's aren't all bowl cuts, catsuits, or voluminous robes with chunky jewelry.
She also wore that fantastic dangerous sunburst ring that was so so 1960's cocktail party. Big love for that.

The ship has only half the crew at this point, rooms can be huge!Yeah. The sets are just ridiculously massive. Space should be at a premium on a ship.
The captain doesn’t need a bar in his quarters.
There's a lot of empty space in that ship, which should have more than twice the interior volume of the 1966 Enterprise.
My one-bedroom apartment is bigger than the two-bedroom house I grew up in. You know how hard it is to move a house the size of that one in the current market? Everyone wants bigger rooms.
The new designs seem intuitively right to me. Unless you're a tremendously wealthy - by our standards- civilization with huge material and energy surpluses, you don't build interstellar spacecraft.

IDK if this season trailer was posted, but what the hell, it's Universo Star Trek's 4K version.
