Spoilers New York Comic-Con Season 4 Trailer

[Agony_Boothb]

I think the main arc of this season is the rebuilding of the Federation, the Anomaly is just the macguffin that that leads to that. A lot of the various alpha quadrant powers haven't worked together for over 100 years and and some have been hostile to the Federation. It's going to take more than just sending Discovery out giving cultures dilithium to get the job done. Something big is needed, a problem that effects all species equally to drives them to work together and begin to trust the Federation again.

Season 3 and 4 are going to be reflections of the last 2 years in the real word. Except instead of seeing people denying science and being driven apart as what is currently happening thanks to the Pandemic, we're going to see people trusting science and coming together to solve the greatest crisis the quadrant has faced so far.

The only real issue I have with this anomaly as it's been presented so far is that it's too vague to be much of a hook. The Red Angel may have been disappointing in the end but the initial setup was intriguing. Similar with the Burn, although I much preferred the resolution to that.

All they've said so far about this mystery is that it's a threatening gravity anomaly which isn't that exciting. But you know what? I'll take strange sciency mysteries over yet more vengeful bad guys in big black ships.

Strange New Worlds is supposed to be the more classic episodic exploration planet-of-the-week show, right?

If so I'm fine having Disco be the serialized Big Threat show, Picard being the introspective character show, and LD being the jack of all trades show.

 

[The Wormhole]

Did the room of aliens all having a meeting together about the anomaly not tip you off that we're getting more Federation stuff? Or the ceremony seemingly showing the Ni'Var rejoining?

I mean, even the first trailer back in the spring carried the implication that Space Anomaly! was going to be the driving force behind everyone either rejoining or at least allying with the Federation.

Better shot of the the President, you can see her bajoran nose ridges easier

My take is that Discovery is kinda filling a void left by the Trek movies, giving us these larger than life action/adventure situations. I think it's great that each series fills a different niche and caters to a wide spread of fandom. I'm just happy i enjoy all of it. Looking forward to being a total binge pig with year round trek, and classic trek to fall back on as well.

Is it too early to start complaining the Federation President being human, Cardassian and Bajoran is an Obnoxious Woke Agenda? Asking for a friend.

I'd like to put in a complaint: she could be more gay.

Maybe some of us just want a season more focused on policy, power sharing, dealmaking and strong characterisation - like West Wing in space no anomalies please

Alison Janney would have made a great Federation President.

 

[TimeIsAPredator]

except Season 1 was about the Klingon War, and Season 3 was about finding the origin of the Burn… neither seasons were about saving the galaxy…

Season 1 brought us very close to the end of the Federation and magic boy at the end of 3 came very close to causing another buuurrrrrnnnn and also an almost wipe out of the Federation again

Stop assuming that character identifies as she

 

[fireproof78]

One of the more intriguing characters thus far.

This is Discovery. If you want strong characterisation, I'm afraid you've taken a wrong turn.

So the end of the Federation is the end of the entire galaxy..? Got that….

 

[Lord Garth]

So it seems as if the Bajorans, the Cardassians, and the Ferengi are/were part of the Federation. If the President and that Captain are anything to go by. And the Romulans re-unified with the Vulcans and, by extension, had joined the Federation before Vulcan -- now called Ni'Var -- withdrew.

The only race that remains unaccounted for is the Klingons.

"What about the Borg and the Dominion?" Two whole other stories and neither are made up of just one race.

 

[TimeIsAPredator]

No but it's all very high stakes and as far as Trek goes yes end of the Federation does kinda mean the end of everything

 

[Phily B]

I'm sure it's been mentioned countless times, but I'm so fucking bored of galaxy ending threats in every one of the newer Trek series. There is so much to do and explore in this new time period and we get this shit again?

Discos finest moment was 2 people sitting at a table talking treaties and trade deals and Picards was an old man talking about life

 

[Saul]

The premise is boring. The trailer is boring. We did all this in season 2 and 3. Can we move onto something else? Enough with the mystery box stuff that sets up a big threat and mystery with an unsatisfactory reveal near the end. I'm tempted to sit this season out.
