TOS, Discovery, and the JJ Abrams bridge of the original Enterprise, before any letters followed the numbers. It should seem fairly clear that Discovery doesn't take place in any of the movie's universes. They may share a number of similar events (Pike dying, the Picard maneuver, etc) but all 3 of these bridges take place in the same 4 year period. Just not in the same continuity. Not the same canon.
And yes, that means there's more than one mirror universe as well.

Captain Kirk is still alive in the Nexus

#3 that looks like a hair saloon.

To be clear the JJ films are explicitly in a different timeline and continuity. It's not in fact the same ship.

We all get that. The question is how, in one timeline, it went from Howard Johnson's to Dave & Busters then back to Howard Johnson's.

Is it me or is the Disco/SNW bridge a bit bigger than the TOS bridge?
Rayfire3535
The whole ship is bigger. In some ways for good reason (the original neck was too skinny) in some ways not, (the upscale was unnecessary).
GeneralNuclear
Why not just stay true to the classic?

They wanted to visually update everything. they were overzealous to say the least.

Missing the rebuild from mirror darkly

Unlike Trek 2009 & Discovery S2E14, the Mirror Darkly, Relics, and Trials & Tribble-ations sets were never meant to look different than TOS.

The bridge was updated in Trials

Disco is supposed to be in continuity. Its updated Enterprise bridge hit a pretty sweet spot between faithful and updated IMO.

So in 2254 it looked like The Cage, then in 2256 "updated" to look like Discovery S2, then in 2265 it "un-updated" to look like TOS??

All Star Trek after the original sucked, original base movies excepted.

You're delusional.

What happened to Enterprise C

Got blown up by Romulans it's in TNGs Yesterday's Enterprise.

Is that a question designed to create headaches? Let's just say it was instrumental in the Klingons joining the Federation and was destroyed

fighting the Romulans to defend Klingons who had no means to fight back, considered an extreme act of bravery by the Klingon Empire.

NuTrek is 2258-2262, Disco is 2256-2259, TOS is 2265-2269. But canon states the TOS Enterprise had a refit after April's command.

Regardless, your point is still a sticking point with me - why does NuTrek look SO MUCH different? (Answer: time travel shenanigans.)

Years later, a Strange New Worlds episode that takes place in 2024 Canada explains it all perfectly. It is a new timeline created at least in part by the Temporal Cold War which was addressed in the Discovery 2 parter featuring "Carl." No one has said so officially, but no one official has said it's not. Now if someone at Hideout or Paramount does, or it's explained differently in the last 2 SNW seasons (and they don't suck like S3), I'll stand corrected.

(The Borg escape pod launched in First Contact and found in ENT are the catalyst in my mind; that's where the "futuristic" tech comes from.)

Here's the thing, the Kelvin was still too advanced for its time compared to the main timeline. So something has to happen even before that
