Amph “Let's Fly!” - Star Trek: Discovery [Paramount+/Netflix/CraveTV]

How many years away from Enterprise is it?

 

100 years.

 

So I absolutely should not expect any continuation from Enterprise or cameos?

Did the Romulan War happen in between then? Is that Canon?

 

So that all happened in the books right? Does that mean the books are Canon?

Any guides or advice to get into them?

*needs more Enterprise.

 

If it's ten years before tos, that would mean at least Archer's still alive.

 

Not necessarily. There is the possibility of time travel shenanigans.

 

Is Warf captan in this show

 

Fuller did mention that he planned on bringing back some old characters. i'm guessing me means via time travel.

 

Maybe T'Pol. She as a vulcan would be still alive.

 

Yeah, I was gonna say -- President Archer's a definite possibility in this time period...

 

Oh, wait, I keep thinking this is 100 years before TOS, not 100 years after Enterprise

 

Break out the catsuit.

 

So people, what about the Klingons. WHAT ABOUT THE KLINGONS?! Specifically the foreheads. Well, okay, maybe there will be ridge forehead Klingons and smooth forehead Klingons. That could actually be legitimately neat if they establish a divide between the two.

So, also people, what about the uniforms. WHAT ABOUT THE UNIFORMS?! Like everyone is supposed to be wearing "The Cage" turtlenecks. Unless, in canon, the only example of the turtlenecks is just "The Cage" and "Where No Man Has Gone Before" which means maybe the Enterprise was having a laundry day those days so they busted out the turtlenecks. I can give a pass on that. Okay. Breathe. I'll be fine.

So, also also people, what about the Vulcans. WHAT ABOUT THE VULCANS?! So since Spock is the first Vulcan in Starfleet we can't have a Vulcan on the bridge crew? Well, okay, there's been two TV series without a Vulcan on the bridge. But people like Vulcans on the bridge, dammit. Maybe there will be a work around.

This is basically what will go through my head while watching every episode. The precious, precious canon. Not that I mind all THAT much, the Internet is for No Prizes to explain the for sure continuity muck-ups.

 

I hope we finally get to learn more about the "New Humans" from GR's novelization of TMP.

 

Tons of Star Trek: Discovery news!

Lead character's name is "Number One" and we wont' know her real name until a few eps in. Homage to Majel Barret's "Number One". However, I do quibble if she's a Lt. Commander then there's the Commander and then there's the Captain and isn't the Commander Number One? Well, whatever.

Fuller and Kurztman wrote hour one and Nick Meyer wrote hour 2!

Fuller actually wants only 10 eps but CBS wants 13. No way he would do a 26 episode run.

Says the story could take place in either Prime or Kevlin timeline But went with Prime so they don't have to butt heads with whatever is happening Over There.

Possibly no time travel in Season 1 (although hasn't been written fully yet) which would make it unique if a whole season goes by sans time travel in Star Trek.

Moar deets in October!

 

God, I hope Fuller beat Kurtzman with a 4' Discovery model every time he tried to write one of his stupid ideas.

"Maybe we can put a line from Wrath of Khan right h--"

*THWACK*

 

Good to hear they're avoiding time travel for at least one season. This gives the new cast time to settle in without being ushered into the universe by some attempt at shoehorning them into the show by past alumni. Though i'm disappointed that the first two hours are separate episodes, I was hoping they'd do a feature length pilot. 13 episodes feels like a good number - no more, but no less either.

 

I'm really hoping that hour 1 and hour 2 are basically like the TNG-DS9-VOY-ENT two-parter they just had different writers handle each one. And since Nick Meyer wrote the second episode, I'm fully hoping and expecting some bad guy quoting Shakespere while launching photon torpedoes at the Discovery.

 

Some good news & updates.
