Season 3 seems like a done deal:

I am sure there will be an announcement soon.

 

[Tuskin38]

I’m guessing an official announcement in the next 2 weeks.
The Season 2 announcement was a month after season 1 started

That article has a few things of interest:

It does sound like Season 3 is practically guaranteed (no surprise, but I look forward to hearing from those who were sure Season 2 was their last...)
Is that a glimpse of a new set? Curving stairs wrapped around a...tree? Rock? Probably Elvish. Lothlorien.
Is the suggestion that Discovery might be planned only for three seasons, or that that's simply when the next show will enter production? Other articles have suggested that Discovery has a long life ahead of it, and I hope that's the case.
It's encouraging to see how carefully they're strategizing this, ah, enterprise. A lot of consideration is going into not only the next season but a show that's three series off.

Got myself a growing Michelle Yeoh movie list:

Tomorrow Never Dies
Royal Warriors
Crouching Tiger

Must add to it. No IMDB or looking up. That's cheating.

Tomorrow Never Dies was pretty disappointing, not just as a Bond film but that Michelle Yeoh was not allowed to do the kind of stunts she was known for in Hong Kong. As it is, she's pretty underutilized, but shows off more charisma that Pierce Brosnan, who I don't think quite nailed Bond until later.

Those writers wrote the season 1 "Into the Forrest" episode. So that could be the Klingon ship of the dead. Or it could be from the season 2 episode they wrote, which I think is episode 6 (probably the Saru returns to his planet episode) .

They are just saying the section 31 series goes into production after Discovery season 3 is done. Just like Picard will start production after Discovery season 2. Section 31 is not a replacement for Discovery, it's just the next series in the pipeline.

The Section 31 series will actually be a replacement for Discovery: in the schedule. ie. they could just mean that when Discovery's season 3 finale airs, the Section 31 series or another Star Trek series will take its place in the schedule. And then Discovery season 4 will replace another Star Trek season finale, and on and on.

We've talked about alternating seasons between the shows before, based on what we've been told by the Producers.

Yeah, I think that's a season 1 shot.

 

[pst]

Yeah, I think that's a season 1 shot.

i'm a little stumped, that doesn't look like anything we saw in "into the forest" but burnham looks straight out of that episode.

my guess is this is the kanimar episode and burnham's gonna get fucked up by some ba'ul or something.

The steps and windows are right out of the Sarcophagus.

Here are screencaps from that episode

[Midquest]

Hmm, can you point me to the shot you're looking at more directly? I do see the steps, but they look different to me than the ones in the production photo....

 

[Tuskin38]

The tweet it came from was posted on November 14th, 2017, so before they even started filming Season 2, and it is tagged '#IntoTheForestIGo'

Thanks!

80 episodes of TOS, 22 episodes of TAS, two episodes of TNG, and one episode (so far) of Discovery. Dialogue and live-action footage was reused in one episode of DS9 and one episode of Discovery.

That's 105 episodes, or 107 if you include the archive footage. Plus the 9 films (114 or 116 total). Still dwarfed by Worf (270 or 276, plus 1 episode of Webster) and many other cast members on the longer running TNG, DS9, and Voyager series.

Sorry, I wasn't counting TAS (not omitted for any particular reason), voice appearances or archival footage.

I wasn't saying he had appeared in more episodes than anyone else. I was simply saying he had made enough appearances to be considered established.

 

[The Rock]

Do you all think they're ever gonna show the interior of Pike's Enterprise?

Or maybe they shouldn't show it, because we all know that it looks really 60's inside of it, haha.

Spock's quarters didn't look very 60's. The rest would have to fit with that.

Oh yeah. Forgot about that part, lol.

 

[BillJ]

They need to add Rainn Wilson to the production staff. "The Escape Artist" was the best thing the Discovery/All-Access group has done to date.

The bridge has been confirmed, and we see the chair in the opening credits.

There's this quote from Rebecca Romijn in a recent interview that maybe...maybe... hints at seeing the Enterprise bridge:

Romijn has been a fan of Star Trek from her early days. “I was a major Trek fan as a child,” she said. “I watched The Original Series with my mom. I lost my mom two years ago, and so being on this set, specifically the set I was on, which I’m not allowed to talk about, made me cry. And it made me think about my mom a lot. It was very emotional.”
