S31 will be S31 in name only, like most of STD. They clearly like names of things rather than the things themselves.

Star Trek Discovery |OT| To Boldly go into the new streaming era

Yeah, I agree with this. It feels too early to get Section 31 involved, though they might not necessarily be chasing it at full throttle next season, they could have just very well planted the seeds to be expanded on in later seasons. But Section 31 kinda subverts the core message of Trek, and with this version on Trek, where that message hasn't been fully established, I think it'll end up doing more harm to the storytelling than good. It's hard to resist going gritty, because gritty and conflict makes for addicting television, but Trek hasn't ever really been afraid to be a little different.
I guess there was some kind of panel this weekend, here is an interview with the show runners, lot's of confirmations for stuff we've heard before (the spiritual theme for season 2, Lorca coming back) but they also go into the feedback they've recieved and how they are going to address some of the issues like the bridge crew and having more 'slice of life' episodes.
It's a short read so I won't post the whole interview

13 episodes for season 2 is kind of a bummer. I felt like 15 really wasn't enough. Eh oh well.
Maybe a shorter season is what they need to get their story telling more razor sharp. Ah who am I kidding...
I just need more Trek
Oh... we're gonna learn more about that Robotic crew-man person, great.
And the new season will deal with FAITH?
May the Prophets walk with you, child

Faith of the heart.
I honestly don't know what they can do to make the show work for me at this point. Like if they actually did the original anthology plan and rebooted every season, then it'd be easy to forget all the weird stuff that happened in S1.
I just hope they got all their fanboy shit out of their system. I'd actually be happy if they never mentioned Klingons, Romulans, anything TOS related (forget they even met the Enterprise) and just write off Sarek completely. Just leave that baggage behind and make a show that doesn't rely on references instead. Or fuck it, just double down and rehire the entire TNG crew to come back as future versions of their old characters.
Jason Isaacs was obviously trolling. It'll most likely be late 2018 or early 2019. They start filming in April, the first episodes airing this year is realistic.
Been that way since TOS.
I see, TOS obviously couldn't do that but bringing back Khan in Star Trek 2 probably counts.
He'd better... he directed one of the better eps of the 2nd half of the season

They'll probably release it a few weeks before season 2 starts.
I would imagine we might have word on the bluray/dvd release around SDCC or the Star Trek Las Vegas Convention. I hope at least. Would love it if we got it sooner but they likely want to keep it close to season 2's launch.
Honestly I can't really form an opinion on this. There is The Mummy Kurtzman (hasn't it been said Tom Cruise had an insane amount of control over that film and what was done with it, etc) and then there is Alias and Fringe Kurtzman. Since Discovery is a TV show I'm be wiling to lean toward this turning out okay. We don't know what episode 1 of season 2 will be like either. So I'm in wait and see mode until that first trailer drops but the team behind Discovery has earned a lot of trust and faith from me.
Your about a week late on that, we were discussing on the previous page, depending on how many posts you have per page that is.
Already posted a week ago but thanks again for sharing for those that missed it :)
There was a "real" Trill in the show. Final episode, blink and you miss it. They don't linger the camera a lot of the "oh here's this" stuff. There are exceptions. For me, it got me out of my damn iPad while I watch, so I guess that's a good thing. I'd really gotten into that habit over the past few years.
I am good with the focused stuff. Even then, they still manage to both drag ass and barge around at the same time. I do miss some of the old Trek where they'd take time to focus on the life of a particular character, but I also admit that all of that development went to pot on most of the shows when they'd promptly forget every damn thing they learned about themselves as soon as the end credits rolled.
Oops, yep I missed it. Saw someone tweeting about it and thought it was new.

Cool. Hopefully the Enterprise stuff takes two episodes, then Discovery visits some planet whose culture works as an allegory for a current social issue.
That is some seriously good Pike casting. I'm very interested in how the Enteprise stuff pans out for season 2. On the one hand it would be neat if it stuck around for a bit as it could lead to some great callbacks. But on the other I'd be happy for Discovery and Enterprise to part ways quickly so we can focus in more on our main cast of characters.
I liked season 1 a great deal, but I'd really like them to have a chance to slow things down a little. Even with 13 episodes instead of 15.

oh my god she's a beauty
Remind me how Pike ends up in the wheelchair communicating with beeps? Is that still to come where Discovery is in the timeline?
he gets injured in a training mission saving cadets. A few years after Kirk takes command of the Enterprise, so still 12 or so years from Discovery's time
I know Inhumans had a lot of problems but I thought he played a great Black Bolt. Glad to see him as Pike.
It would be confusing to have Quinto as Spock but not Bruce Greenwood as Pike.
I bet they don't show Spock though.
