Its pretty obscure, but they could be referencing the Omega Directive from an episode of Voyager. Timeline-wise it lines up, and I seem to recall an earlier pitch for a new series, set after the TNG era, that involved the Omega lore.

I read it was something mentioned in TOS
I'm seeing theories of Treaty of Armens with the Sheliak Corporate or the aftermath of the Battle of Axanar as probable storylines.
I am not sure how to feel about this.. Still not a big fan of the "before Kirk" sort of stuff. Seems like a waste to spend time going backwards rather than forwards to me.
I've pretty much given up on seeing Trek do anything in the "current" time, everything is about going to the earliest days now, which is kind of frustrating, but eh, I still have a lot of faith in it.
Netflix also uploaded the teaser, but it's not available to view in NA. If you use an YouTube app (i.e. PS4) and are subbed to Netflix, you can see that it was uploaded, but cannot watch it.
I still wonder why they never do a Starfleet Academy series. Hot young teens in space.
One can be the illegitimate child of Picard and that tomb raider chick he was with before she bounced with Q. Old cast members have carte blanche to show up as guest lecturers.
Mmm. It's got a real nice look to it, it looks very much like the new movies. I like the new movies but i don't think I could watch them over and over like I do with TNG or such.
Either way I'll see how it goes. Not like they can blow the ship up every episode so we're safe on the extreme hardcore action flick stuff.... maybe.
If this is supposed to be in the prime timeline why do the Klingons look like that?
Unfortunately, the writers of Enterprise took it upon themselves to create an in-universe explanation for why Klingons in TOS looked different than the ones in TNG and onward. I don't remember the details but it was something about some mutation disease that got introduced into their population by a human scientist. Basically, every Klingon you see in TOS is a mutant according to this episode.
It could be this show is embracing that storyline and the Klingons we see here are some other kind of mutant, idk. Dumb decision no matter how they explain it.
Yeah, I know they waffled around the subject for years because they can't just straight out say it was because of cheap makeup. I always enjoyed Worf's "We do not discuss it with outsiders" from a DS9 episode. It being a mutation was from Bashir asking Worf about it which led to that response, and then years later they make an entire epsiode out of it. OF COURSE that doesn't explain why Kahless would look different in one and not the other, since the clone was made from his (theoretically) unmutated DNA and fuck it, whatever.
Season 3 episode "The Savage Curtain", the one with Abraham Lincoln
