Looks, smells, and feels jjverse to me. Or a copy of it. 10yrs nah the Enterprise was what 12yrs old then? More like 30yrs before Kirk. Or did they fool themselves with the jjverse thinking the Enterprise was built just for Kirk? Or maybe before kirks birth? that would be a good 40yr gap.
10 years before Kirk commanded the Enterprise, Spock was a lieutenant and served on the Enteprise under Pike as science officer. So, maybe 10 years before his birth? I don't know. The whole thing looks wrong, like they're just ignoring canon. I'm thinking it *is* the JJVerse. The design style is too much like the JJVerse to be coincidence.
Of all the things I didn't like about the preview, the one that really bugs me, is that they're using the Enterprise delta badge as the badge for Starfleet, and they even have one on the back of a headrest on the bridge.
The delta emblem has become synonymous with Starfleet, even though the correct Starfleet command emblem prior to TMP was the starburst emblem seen worn by command officers and Starbase personnel on TOS. As we all know, other ships and even outposts had their own emblems, much like unit patches in modern militaries. That was changed after Kirk's historic 5-year mission. The Enterprise emblem became *the* emblem for Starfleet. In the retconned beginning of Star Trek (2009) the Kelvin has that emblem. Presumably, that ship would be retired prior to the launch of the Enterprise in 2245, and the emblem was re-used for the Enterprise in the Prime Universe. However, in the Kelvin timeline, the destruction of the Kelvin allegedly made Starfleet adopt that emblem as its own. Why isn't answered, as the Kelvin was far from the first ship to be lost. Also, this is all conjecture that fits, as we never saw another ship in 2233.
So, the use of that emblem and the design style overall puts this show in the Kelvin timeline.
It is funny what you see after a while or see the ship in other views. The above images it is clear there is a large snout deflector dish on the Shenzou.
I do not think those running things know much more about trek than the last 3 jj films. Pacing, tonality it is all jjtrek.
I wont be surprised if the Discovery itself is not much different from the sneak peak we got.

Well, we can't yet know about the pacing of the individual episodes.
But, yeah, this is the Kelvin-timeline for TV. With all the to and fro on the creative side of things and the... failure... of Beyond, they probably went in and retooled the whole show and shifted it from the Prime-timeline to the Kelvin one.

I'm assuming you mean financial failure in reference to Star Trek Beyond, because the movie was well received by critics. I personally feel it's the best of the three, I don't know why it under performed at the box office. It made money, it just didn't make enough money.

Yes, financially, of course. I'd rate it the second best of the three.
I think, if we get good character development and the compelling storytelling with Discovery that Star Trek is known for, it will be good no matter which timeline it's set in. I can overlook the "ooh shiny" visual style if the show is done right. I sincerely hope there's a good explanation for the FUBAR Klingons.
Seeing it from that top view actually kills any and all interest I may have had in that design. I don't like ships that are designed off of famous symbols.

Uhm. Everything looks wrong. Is this yet another alternate universe?
Meh.

Edit: happened upon this. I don't know if any of this is correct, but it's interesting.

I really think it's just a coincidence.
It could be, but on the other hand, the main character was raised on Vulcan. That diminishes the coincidence factor for me.

Bright lights and explosions.
Guess we'll just have to try and build excitement from this stirring photo of the Klingon Male Voice Choir...
