Hopefully, Netflix UK will manage to make them a bit more accessible this time rather than hiding them away. I recently re-watched the first set of Short Treks and Calypso, after having watched after season 2 of Discovery I wonder if Zora is intended to be some evolution of the sphere data that has infected the Discovery's computers (although she is a much more benevolent A.I. than Control). I think Zora is just that, and I think Calypso is 2000 years after the end of season 2 so she has plenty of time to evolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I don't think I'll be signing up to watch the next season of Discovery unless it coincides with the Picard show. Season 2 was just too much of a clusterfuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChampion Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 The far future time jump is permanent, showrunners claim 930 years into the future. So Calypso takes place about 100 years after STD season 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the abandoned Discovery having a sentient AI who is waiting for it's crew to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Singer's original story for a show called Star Trek: Federation sounds like elements of it could be the plot of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 The DS9 documentary What We Left Behind is now on Amazon Prime Video UK, although you have to buy it (it's not part of the streaming package). Good enough for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 The re-merger between CBS and Paramount-Viacom is done, so Star Trek is reunited under one corporate master for the first time since 2005. It will have little effect on plans for the franchise, but it does mean that any lingering grey areas over what ship designs, music, flashbacks etc they can use from which shows and movies should be eliminated.

Another cbs trailer i can't watch because for some reason they like to stagger adverts. I had to watch a "trailer analysis" video to see the picard one but I'm not wading through 10 minutes of analysis for this one. On a cheerier note, I'm really enjoying watching select episodes of next gen. The ones focusing on what is "life" eg moriarty holodeck and data's trial were both really enjoyable. It's also nice to see that you can generate drama without having characters fight amongst themselves and be evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, you're a star i get wert's "andromeda" comparison now. Still, I'm glad they are out of the narrow window of the prequel era they were trapped in and it's far enough in the future not to screw with any post voyager/Picard continuity (Picard might be busy doing that by itself) it'll be fun if saru's race are big bads now and that removing their gill frills did lead to them becoming maniacs. Also trying to get my head around where the short calypso episode fits now. Is it in the era season 3 takes place in or is it even further ahead? I vaguely recall the ship had been abandoned for a long time and had become sentient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChampion Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 There was a Short Trek on Enterprise with Spock and Number One / Lt. Commander Una. So i guess she adopted "Number One" because Una means One is spanish? But she's obviously not the first Number One. Burnham was called Number One by Georgiou on the Shenzhou. Though this does take place in the past, to when Spock first joined the Enterprise. So either it spread throughout the fleet in a few years, or the writers are just being overly cute. CBS definitely needs to do a show with Pike's Enterprise crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite enjoyed pike and spock in season two and CBS is clearly happy to milk trek for all it's worth so I'd be ok with at least a limited series. The sets and costumes for the enterprise were great.

Why care about events in the distant future if Discovery isn't supposed to be there and returning to its proper place in the timestream means that future will never happen? 11 hours ago, red snow said: Also trying to get my head around where the short calypso episode fits now.

If it returns to its own time, then Calypso is some decades ahead of season 3, but I get the impression it's more likely to be a thousand years after season 3. 41 minutes ago, SpaceChampion said: There was a Short Trek on Enterprise with Spock and Number One / Lt.

Naming the character Una was the overly cute writing choice. In universe, the characters may well use the slang term more because of her name; not all captains use it.

I was hoping/expecting them to remain there given the reasoning for them escaping to the future. Then again i think Georgiou is with them which means she has to get back if they want to make a spin off show about her and section 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but the impression I have is that a lot of time travel episodes involve the importance of returning temporally displaced things to their proper place in the timestream, so Discovery staying in the future feels wrong. The reasoning for their future exile seemed pretty dubious to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karaddin Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 My strong impression was that they're staying in the future as it tidies up all the complaints about continuity and lets them go somewhere new. Obviously Georgiou needs to wind up going back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumHam Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Are we sure the Section 31 series is still happening? I'm almost sure it was announced before PIcard and yet one show is almost done filming and we've heard nothing about the other.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
