"Fuller on stage now: “There’s an incident and and event in Star Trekhistory, that’s been talked about but never been explored. To do this series, we’re telling a much more serialized story, to dig deep into a very tantalizing [storyline. And we have a character who’s on a journey, and in order to understand something that is alien she first has to understand herself.”

"The star won’t be the captain but rather be a lieutenant commander, “with caveats,” he said. “We’ve seen six series from the captain’s point of view, to see a character from a different perspective on the starship, one who has a diff dynamic relationships with a captain with subordinates, it gave us richer context.”

"On including familiar characters from the original series: “There’s so much about the history that once we get through this first season and establish our own Star Trek universe with the crew that going to be reimagining a lot of Star Trek elements, we’ll be looking in the second season to open up to more familiar characters and how they can feed into the [show]. First and foremost, I think we really want to convince you and establish the greatness of the [new] characters that are going to be introduced.”
 
Yeah I'm kinda bummed about the era it is set in as well. I already have series planned for that era that will go into production as soon as I own Star Trek. It seems kind of overkill to have two series set in the same time. I may end up having to overwrite this one just like I will Enterprise and Abram's stuff.
 
Aren't they not allowed to reference anything that happened in the movies, ie Romulus destruction? That might have something to do with not going forward.

Of course, they could just say that all of the movies are a parallel universe even before the time travel.
 
Numerous non-canon literature works, including several Pocket Books, place the Battle of Axanar in 2254. Some say Kirk's 5 year mission began in 2264, not 2265.

So it's a third Star Trek universe but he's calling it prime to make people happy I guess.

That last paragraph of his quote is blech.
 
I stand by this being the focus of the first season:

In 2246, Kirk was living on the planet Tarsus IV during a food crisis that was starving the colony of eight thousand people. Governor Kodos, sympathetic to old eugenics philosophies, tried to save a portion of his colony by killing the four thousand colonists he deemed least desirable or able to survive. Kodos was unaware of the imminent arrival of relief ships. The thirteen-year-old Jim Kirk was one of only nine eyewitnesses to the massacre. (TOS: "The Conscience of the King")
 
Frankly, I think the TNG/DS9/VOY era is rather worn out. But I've always had a fascination with the earlier eras. TOS was my first Trek and I quite liked ENT. And now we get a Pike-era show! Yay! I just may go and read those comics now, to get in the proper mood!

Set after TNG/DS9/VOY. Wow continuing a story going into the future, what a shocking concept!!!
 
I would hoping Discovery would be set in the movie era. I'm bummed that it isn't.
Just wait for all the feature films we'll get based off of this show and its characters. We'll see Monster Maroons and Excelsior-class ships everywhere! Maybe even some TMP pyjamas!

I'm starting to feel the same with the Star Trek era. It seems like we're stuck in this Kirk/Spock era, and I would have liked to see something set after the original series for one.

I'm still going to give this series a chance though. It does sound exciting, if a bit limited.
