The current series of Star Trek is amazing. It has a great cast, amazing characters and character development, deep emotion, epic action, and makes us think. Truly the only thing it's lacked is a proper designation. you can't call it TOS because it's not TOS. Can't call it a reboot because it's not and anyone who says otherwise is stupid or full of shit. Can't call it nutrek or jjverse because those are more simplicity designations, so what is it supposed to be referred to as?
In Star Trek, throughout its entirety, we know that there are a gorillion different timelines and quantum realities, some of which are featured in movies and tv episodes like the prime mirror universe timeline, the prime timeline, the timeline where his poor battered Riker has one of the last ships left, and the timeline where my beloved series takes place...

It's official! The Okudas, for those not in the know, are the ones behind the Star Trek Encyclopedia, the same one that's been revised and updated and the same which gets a 2-volume reprint this fall covering most of the canon of the Entire 50 years and all 13 films and all episodes. Canonically, this timeline is The Kelvin Timeline, and will be referenced as such within the encyclopedia. The designation makes perfect sense too, as the main fork was when Nero from the prime timeline got caught in Spock's singularity and went and destroyed the Kelvin and got captured by Klingons.
Current series will not be current series for long with a new show on the horizon. I am happy to reference it as Kelvin Timeline Trek, or the KT series.
