Fuller already said that it isn't.
My prediction: every season features a different cast in different time periods with seemingly separate storylines that eventually link up in some sort of way.
Yes, he said in an earlier interview that the first season will have an overarching story.
Fuller already confirmed that it's not an anthology series.

I took it to mean a more Game of Thrones style show. Some stuff on a ship, maybe some on a base, maybe some from the perspective of the antagonists; but all interconnected.

Welcome #StarTrekDiscovery & the U.S.S. Discovery (NCC-1031) - coming in January 2017! #StarTrek50
Good thing those same "fans" didn't abandon TNG or DS9 during those difficult first 2 seasons.

That is one ugly ship...
Never mind, you're probably right. Shadow on the bottom made me think it was 5 digits for some reason.

Indeed.That is one beautiful ship...
I dig the new design. It seems like they tried to make a ship that feels very "Star Trek" like while also making it a bit modern and new.
It's definitely a different take on the ship design we are generally use to for Star Trek but we don't really know anything about the era or even the "feel" of the show yet. They are putting some top talent on this show and I feel very confident that it will be epic when it finally airs in January.

Whats Prime timeline?

The prime timeline is the timeline the shows are set in, whereas as the JJ films are in an alternative timeline. The only show that is canon in both timelines is Enterprise at this point.
hasn't it already been confirmed to be the new timeline?
EDIT: I see. Disappointing. But it will probably take place pre-TOS/Divergence in the timeline.
The original timeline that everything before Star Trek 2009 takes in. TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, the TOS movies and TNG movies are all the Prime timeline. Star Trek 09, Into Darkness, and Beyond are the Kelvin timeline.
Prime Timeline is the original shows and movies, the alternate/kelvin timeline is for the new reboot films. But as I said in the other thread assuming the NCC registration is correct and not just a really old ship then this seemingly takes place before TOS, and likely before the timelines split for the new films, so it's technically both.
Was really hoping for something either in between TOS and TNG or something past TNG. The pre-TOS has been covered plenty, I feel. Oh well, I still like the design of the ship and I'm excited for a Star Trek series again, especially if it's more serial and less episodic. But woof, that CG was pretty bad.
I assume we'll have slightly better sfx in the actual show? :/
This will take place way after the timeline split. The registry of the Kelvin was NCC-0514. The discovery looked to be NCC-1031 so it's a much later vessel.
Admittedly the time split between the Kelvin and the Enterprise would indicate that the Kelvin was an older ship, but at that time Starfleet was pretty wary of keeping ships in service for more than 20-30 years, look at how they wanted to bin the Enterprise even when it was barely more than 20 years old, and they were talking about it as if a ship that old was out of the ordinary.

They don't start shooting for several months, so I very much doubt anything is final.
100% correct
I don't understand anyone who would say that is disappointing
Looking at the NCC registrations on Memory Alpha there are ships with lower registrations than the Kelvin still hanging about in TOS and the later films. I don't think the NCC is going to help tell us when this is besides being within like 50 years of TOS.
On the other hand, the trailer states that this is the "Test Flight", so we can assume that the Discovery is a brand new starship at the time of the series. That's still going to put it before TOS, but likely after the timeline divergence.

It would be neat if the show was set in a future, like 26th century or something, where the Klingon Empire has finally joined the Federation.

If the necels folded up it would be pretty sweet.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Seeing as how it is NCC-1031 and it's a "new" ship in the series, then this show must take place after Enterprise but before TOS. With that ship registry coupled with the crappy design of the ship it really just has to be placed there.
I hate the look of the ship, but hopefully the show is good enough to make up for it.

The only thing is that the ship details look newer than pre TOS. The blue glowing deflector dish, the nacelles, I'm just not convinced that it's not at least as new as the Excelsior class.
Thank fuck

Source for that? I can't believe they would make us in Canada and USA pay for CBS streaming but let the rest of the world watch it on Netflix. Why can't we get to it on Netflix too?
If true, that really pisses me off.

I assume the CBS streaming service isn't
available in other countries.

CBS's streaming service will likely be US/Canada only. They'll sell the rights to other providers for the rest of the world. It's pretty standard for TV shows to do that.
