It's backstory, and not very exciting backstory at that.<br /><br />Picard's not in the Kelvin timeline, but it does suffer from the same lame attempt to tie the Kelvin timeline into the main timeline, thus making both timelines "canon". The Abrams movies start when Spock from the original timeline travels back after a supernova, while Picard happens in the (unaltered) timeline after Spock leaves.

Picard was good, I enjoyed it. But it didn't really feel like Star Trek to me. It felt more like it was set in the Kelvin timeline of the Abrams movies than the same universe as TOS through Voyager (never watched Enterprise).
