CHRISTOPHER PIKE’S TAKING COMMAND AS STAR TREK: DISCOVERY SEEKS OUT MORE STRANGE NEW WORLDS…
IN A UNIVERSE WHERE INFORMATION ABOUT upcoming movies and tv is usually trapped behind an impregnable forcefield, Star Trek: Discovery really is going where no show has gone before – season two isn’t due until early 2019 and we already have a good idea of what it’s about. to boldly know, and all that…
For starters, we’ll be edging closer to the established Trek canon that sometimes felt galaxies away in Discovery’s wonderfully adventurous first year. “we’ve never been tempted to say, ‘screw it, we’re doing our own thing,’” explains co-creator and new showrunner Alex Kurtzman. “however, we are constantly challenging ourselves in the writer’s room with, ‘how can we push really hard against the edges of what canon is without breaking it?’ that means things like coming up with the spore drive, which obviously never existed before Discovery, and why Spock never mentioned his sister. so we will be syncing up with canon and we will be answering those questions, and hopefully, by the time you get to the end of the season, you’ll understand why all those things have never been discussed.”
