Star Trek Discovery delay

[Trekfan12]

I am hopeful that this show might make the fall season. I can agree that I would rather wait and have the best Star Trek show there can be. That they really put out good scripts. I am hopeful the cast has a great chemistry.

I'm not worried about the fall season. I'm worried about a delay of this magnitude. Yes, they're supposed to start filming next week, but is that still the case? If not (as I would expect), it tells me they're going back to the drawing board and that means bad, bad news. "That's pessimistic", you say? Consider the team they've assembled and how long those people have been together working on this. "Getting it right" as CBS claims it's doing should be easy given the results we've seen from them. More likely, those same people are being given a new direction in some way that is blowing up what's been done so far.......and that almost never ends well.

The same EW article that confirmed the delay also said that they will start filming next week. So the show is still scheduled to start filming on Tuesday.

This doesn't surprise me. Time is moving quickly and despite casting news and filming set to begin soon, there seemed to be something in the air that said that they wouldn't get this out by May.

We've seen a lot of Hollywood productions that would have been better served with delays.

At least CBS recognizes problems and is doing something about it.

The good thing about it being a prequel is that I won't be anxious waiting to see it. I grow weary of them going where they've technically already gone before.

When?

The writers can explore the unknown in any fictional era they choose.

2255 has never been shown, we had The Cage in 2254 and WNMHGB in 2263.

From 2161 - 2266 there is a massive gulf of just nothing. It's the biggest open gap of any Trek era, and Discovery was built during it. If you can't milk 2-3 seasons out of that, I don't know.

When?

In the past from TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9, point of view.

We saw e few hundred events over a handful of years. There was mentioned even fewer past events. It seems like there would be a lot of stories left untold.

Assuming it is still set in deep space post-2017, I am sure almost every story will involve going where no one has gone before.

They cited the production dates from here - https://www.iatse873.com/index.php?q=current_productions

Those dates have now been removed.

I think that CBS are just causing delays to create suspense.

If they have this much extra time I hope they completely redesign the USS Discovery itself.

As with all engineering...things sometimes happen to delay the launch. Better to launch late than to not launch at all.
