He says he met Pike then, but there's nothing says he didn't stay around for the rest of the show. Just have Pike promoted to Fleet Captain the day Kirk shows up and all is good.
The Inevitable TOS Reboot

nah i can see SNW ending after 3 seasons and leading directly into (pre) WNMHGB with Pike handing 34y old CGI/deepfake Shatner Kirk the keys but thats it
Assuming it's successful, SNW will probably run for at least five seasons, maybe seven if they stick to the idea that one season equals one year in-universe. That would take the show from 2258 (when the Discovery traveled into the future) to 2264/2265 (when Pike left the Enterprise).
I do think they'll find a way to finagle the occasional Kirk appearance into the show, but I don't think they're going to just keep SNW running with Kirk taking over for Pike.

Yes.
I'm looking forward to all of it, the more the merrier for me, if they bring out shows based on the original series great, if it's completely new stuff I'm still looking forward to it. I just hope the writing is clever and the stories continue to be interesting. I don't want lazy writing I just love all Star Trek has to offer, the fact that it is so diverse, there's so many ways stories can be told, new discoveries and how things have changed over time. Just to sum up I love it all and look forward to anything it has to offer.
So the Discovery/spore drive explanation again? No thanks.
The new TOS era shows are all in a different timeline than the series up through the end of Voyager, anyway. Picard and company split the universe in two in correcting the Borg incursion in First Contact. Enterprise, STD and SNW all take place in the Trek 2.0 timeline. 
I guess I should have added a sarcasm tag.....
A taboo subject and a quarantine planet .
Genesis allowed is not! Is planet forbidden!
Since I saw someone furious about it on Facebook, I'm kinda hoping those bi-Kirk SNW rumours are true.
I'm actually really open to them doing this.
I've had various discussions on this board about how, while TOS of course is the originator of all of this, it's really 90s/early 2000s Trek that makes the greatest contributions to the world-building of the franchise and as a result, TOS looks like the odd duck of the group. For instance (and I realize it's not just about the LOOK of something) I did like the modernization of the Enterprise on Discovery, particularly the exterior, to include design elements from the NX-01. Because of this, the original Enterprise looks more in-line with its historical lineage.
But of course, you then have to start asking; when is it ok to then consider a remake of TNG?

I feel like they won't do it anytime soon because Kelvin already did it once and Strange New World is almost doing it as well. If these current shows had emulated the TOS look more then I'd probably say do a hard reboot on look and concepts and timeline but it's kind of moot when the shows already do some of that. I'd like just good single storylines, weird sci-fi concepts. The look and feel of Kelvin but storylines of "Fringe". Give me a White Tulip and I'd be happy.
I'd be more interested in seeing the Zabel/Strazcynski TOS reboot made. Individual stories with a constant storyline running through the five years, investigating the Preservers.
A reboot of TOS just seems so redundant at this point, since that's essentially what Strange New Worlds is. If it were to happen, it would have to be after SNW wraps up, right? Because otherwise they'd be doing two separate shows set just a few years apart on the same ship, which seems silly (and confusing to the more casual viewers).
Personally the only way I see this happening is years from now when this current iteration of Trek starts to decline and needs to stir-up some new interest. And even then I feel like it would be more "buzzworthy" to do something like a TNG reboot simply because it hasn't been done before.

Terrible, stale treatment.
