I'll bet it's about how they broke the time barrier!

Obviously, it's about the Tycho IV dikironium cloud creature.

...Y'know, I keep seeing Fuller talk about how "this is a novel over thirteen episodes". It makes me wonder if this is actually to be a series—several seasons over many years—or a mini-series—13 & we're done.

It occurred to me - and this probably won't happen - that you could still have a Fargo-style quasi-anthology show under the criteria revealed so far, all on the same ship. After the first series set in (say) 2255 (also the approx time of the TOS pilot "The Cage," and when the first Abramsverse film is set) you jump forward 15 years. The Lt. Cdr. is now Captain and it's TOS/TMP period. Another 15 years in season 3 she's an admiral and you're into the red film uniforms. After that you still have 75 years to play with before you hit TNG. When you want to you replace the original Whatever-class Discovery with a new ship design, same name, new registry (NOT NCC-1031-A).

I'm not sure I want to click on that link. It can't even get the title of the series right.

The uniforms don't make much sense for the setting if circa Pike. Also, that's the Enterprise insignia, which it probably shouldn't be in the pre-TOS era.
I hear they want it to be considered as the Prime universe but the details need to be in the ballpark. Otherwise it might as well be separate.

Technically I would agree, but let's face it, the delta symbol is way too well-known by the public in general to not use. The number of fans who know (or care) that the original intention was for each ship to have its own shirt emblem is very small.
If that's their biggest continuity issue, I'm fine with it! (I know, there'll be others to quibble over. But this isn't one of them)

That's a cool bit of trivia, Spike! It just goes to show that the fan concept of continuity and canon is often built on nothing but assumptions and guesses, compounded by production errors.
