Wait so it didn't have a showrunner up until now? What does a "showrunner" actually do then if a show can be made without one.
I remember when they announced that TOS characters were going to appear in Season 2, I was like "Eeek, really?"
Says a lot about Season 2 and Anson Mount's performance that I've done a total 180 on that - just signed that petition for a Pike spin-off because I really want it!

They did but the showrunners got fired before season 2 got started and they brought Kurtzman on board for season 2, however he's overseeing all of star trek now so they hired Michelle to co-run Disco with him for season 3 (and beyond I imagine)
We need the Pike spin off so we can finally get the backstory of the horny redhead crewmember from The Cage.
Oh nice !
It'll be good to have an overseer of sorts.
Has worked really well for Marvel.
Ideally yes, especially with so many new trek shows coming up.

In some form, perhaps. The AI is attached to the previous crew's orders, however, and is focused on Earth media.
I hope we get more short treks while we wait for season 3. Calypso was fantastic.
We're going to get at least two animated ones some point after this season ends.
This episode was a whole load of nothing. A great why serialised shows can suck example.
Also... just fire more torpedoes for fuck sake. No wonder you lost the war.

The ship would just keep protecting itself and possibly become offensive. also, they didn't lose the war lol
It would also probably nope the fuck out and spore jump. Right now it has no concept of why Control is the enemy, so for all we know it might flee the Enterprise and seek shelter with Section 31.
This show has no respect for continuity at all, so just accept it or choose to view it as an alternate timeline.
It's not magic, just wear the shields down and destroy it. Or go back onboard and pull out all the stuff that lets it run, or put bombs inside it.
...and c'mon, they lost the war.
Right. I'm pretty sure if they kept attacking Discovery it would have kept evolving to protect itself.
The data was protecting itself, it wouldn't go down with the ship. I think if they kept firing it would have taken evasive action if not returned fire.
and they saved Earth right as it was surrounded. Ending the war was the win.
looks like someone never watched the ultimate computer
oh not this shit again how many time are we going to tell you it's the prime universe even georgiou name dropped it for people like you
Disco hasn't done anything to break canon that can't be explained in the 9 years left between Disco and TOS, other than the fact that it doesn't look like a low budget tv show from the 60s.
If someone wants to view it as an alternate timeline they can. Get over it.
Continuity, not canon. Just to get the terminology right. And c'mon, the list is huge but I'm not getting into this again. If you wanna ignore the many reasons fine, but let's not pretend there isn't a huge amount of reasons.
sure and people can believe that the earth is flat i'll still call them out for it just like i'm calling you out for believing something completely wrong
So you mean within Disco? Yeah sure and I just ignore it. It's a tv show after all.
Also this looks so cool
TOS itself creates several separate timelines, as do TNG and later series. Divergent timelines (and changes to continuity) are not that big of a deal.

Stop moving goalposts because you made a bad statement, go read my original statement again.
I said to accept the show has continuity problems or view it as a alternate timeline. That is his or anyone elses choice.
So what are you calling me out on with your ridiculous strawman argument?
Are you trying to thought police? "How dare he see all these errors and suggest watching the show with a certain mindset, he must watch it in the mindset how I chose to!!!!".
Unlike your silly flat Earth strawman, there is no 'right' way to watch STD.
For what it's worth I'm not caught up the the timelines stuff I was just curious. I actually like the idea of different timelines on occasion (with any property) but only because it allows, as a prequel, a story to go in unexpected directions. In this case I'm fine with it being the OG timeline. I appreciate the responses though
It's be very concretely established in the primary star trek universe, for better or worse with all the baggage that comes with and any incongruities it creates.
Don't believe it if anyone who tells you otherwise. They are free to have those opinions but they are not based on reality. This is the Prime Universe.
Pounding their feet and claiming that this isn't in continuity may be a person's prerogative, but it doesn't make them right. Alternative facts are never to be held on the same level as actual, real world facts; there is, in fact, a correct way to watch things.
Spock never mentioning his sister makes more sense if you view it at an angle where it seems very much like he will either believe she's dead or otherwise in a place that would make it difficult for them to see each other again. He never mentioned his brother until it became relevant; why talk about his sister if he thinks that she's lost to him?

Pointing out continuity errors should not constantly get met with "This is canon accept it" type replies. That isn't the statement being made.
Sure, why not? We already had Mudd.
Although making him recurring would probably mean that he'd have to spend a lot of time on the bridge and/or with Michael. Culber is pretty much the only recurring character that exists outside of that center of gravity.
Not as a regular. There are no civilians on the ship and everything is done by the book. Pike, Lorca (when he was ostensibly good) and Saru wouldn't tolerate someone who operates like Quark.
If the show was expanded beyond the confines of a Starship there'd be room for more shady characters. As it stands the only morally grey characters are in Section 31.
Speaking of Mudd...I wonder if they are going to incorporate the final Short Trek, there are enough winks and nudges to include Calypso but nothing yet about the Mudd one.
I have a feeling that a Klingon fleet will decloak near the end of the next episode, helping to wipe out Control's ships and that's what Tyler went to do.
It's gotta be a late twist that someone in the crew is just an android copy. Or was there anything about holograms in that episode, I don't remember the details.
I had to skip the Culbert/Stamets drama and anything Michael and parents as usual. I can't stomach this shit anymore. Spock's mother especially.
The rest was ridiculous techno babble and minute solutions to complex problems. Or dumb solutions to simple problems.
Also Control is dumb, can't replicate itself anywhere or take control (lol) of a ship's basic systems.
The show can't do AI enemy properly. Like last week "oh Control is within this abandonned ship and probably everywhere in its system, let's go inside and speak aloud about our plans to defeat it".
At least we got the queen back.

I guess we can put away the whole "it's a redress of the Discovery set" now. It's a brand new set aside from the view screen which was CG. I can't believe they thought of going with an entirely virtual set at one point

We could argue about continuity and alternate universes and what's a fact until the cows come home, but the truth is, just like the complaints that the new movie timeline "undid Deep Space Nine" that were going around the old place 10 years ago, it doesn't really matter, Star Trek isn't real. I just can't get worked up over it either way, beyond the odd snide comment about not using the Spore Drive to jump to the next galaxy over or something. Most complaints about shows can, at the end of the day, be explained by "it's a Television show and this is the story the writers wanted to tell"
In another couple of Decades a new Trek will completely unpick Discovery and a bunch of 30-somethings that grew up on DSC will be complaining about it

Her IMDb doesn't look too promising. Jobs for the boys I imagine, or just cheap.
I bet Ira Steven Behr or any of the other old Sci-Fi hands would love a crack at Disco.
So likely at some point the crew find a way back to their time but can't bring disco cos sphere data hence it gets abandoned.
