Spoilers General Disco Chat Thread

Wait, you've seen Episode 2, and someone hinted to me on Twitter that we might see Coridanites in epsidoe 2.
Is that what you're getting at?

That's in episode 2
 
Whatever the cat's business it, I hope it's interesting.

I'm more curious about Detmer, though
 
David Ajala about Book's special powers:

"We will learn more as the season goes on. He definitely does have an ability and there are some significant moments, in really intimate moments… What’s really interesting about Book’s ability and powers is when his forehead glows and a moment occurs, Michael Burnham is always there to witness it."

FWIW, my ears are naturally pointed for some reason.

Here's a pic of me as a newborn:

My parents were already Trek fans, and joked about me being a "Spock baby."

They're still just as pointy, but my hair is usually shaggy so the points aren't obvious.
You look alot more Cardassian these days by the looks of it
 
But isn't that same future set in TOS as well, we know he gets the funky wheelchair that's set in stone how he got there is subject to interpretation and I think Discovery did a good job of thats :)
Yeah the scene where he accepts his fate is well acted and moving, but you can tell it was done just to fit into TOS. After all, the other people who touched the crystal were determined to change the outcome. The bridge crew were shot and killed by Control, they
changed that fate.
The time crystals shows a possible future not the only future, so Pike does not need to have that accident, and end up in a beeping box.
If they go back in time and rescue him, 31st century medicine should have him walking and talking in no time, I will stand up and cheer.

And then the purists will curse you, you can't win

What is to curse? No one knows what happened to Pike after he was taken to Talos.
If Discovery went back to get him and take him and Vina to the future, old canon is preserved, new canon is created.
(Not that I care what the Reverend Trek, holy purists think)

Me either but I'm just thinking there will be people that say "you've ruined TOS" by doing that
