There's also other inconsistencies with history and technology and characters and.. well, everything that I just can't buy this takes place in the same timeline. But another timeline?

There's a TNG episode where Worf keeps traveling between parallel timelines, eventually resulting in a 'quantum fissure' and the amazing line "At this rate, the sector will be completely filled with Enterprises within three days." And the Abrams movies were based on one of these split timelines.

So yeah, my personal canon is that SNW (and Discovery, which preceded it but I not seen) is in a different timeline from TOS. Because I can't reconcile it otherwise.

That said, its a pretty nice show and Im actually enjoying it.
Based on what appeared in the last episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks" it has been implied that "Star Trek: Discovery" is in its own timeline.

Spoiler:
The crew of the Cerritos is dealing with sealing a quantum fissure that is allowing alternate quantum realities to affect the main reality.


See the following (NOTE: Spoilers for the last episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks):
