    I'd bow out now then and save yourself the heartache.

    You're going to want to turn around now and not look back then. This is certainly going to be a continuation of the Discovery design look and sensibilities. It's going to be the Discoprise and all the updated looks we got at it from the Short Treks. Hell the Discovery era Enterprise shows up in Picard and is one of the looks in the Emphriam and Dot Short Trek. That's the look going forward that will be pushed. Expect the similar filming techniques (as I assume like Discovery this is being done by the Canadian teams) and writing. The filming for Discovery and the Short Treks look different and I say better then what was done for Picard by the LA team. While this might be geared more toward exploration due to the setting I don't think this automatically means mission of the week episodic content either.

    You don’t know that. They might actually get a good showrunner this time round.

    I read a site (It was a click bait site and I forgot what it was) saying that they were going to name the series Star Trek: Enterprise. My first thought was you can't name it Star Trek: Enterprise because there is already a series of that name. I'm glad they went with a different title and we don't have the same confusion to the TV series as we "kinda" have with the movies.

    An added bonus: I'm glad all the 23rd Century elements from the first two seasons of DSC have somewhere to go.

    Same. That's one of the things I'm most excited about. I love how Discovery looks from the ships to planets, etc and want to see more of those ship designs as well. This also potentially opens the door for them to do something with Prime Lorca if they ever want to revisit that. Same with Cornwell too since neither Discovery or Picard has issues with flashbacks.

    Edit: This also means more L'Rell since we don't know the setting for Section 31!

    "Akiva Goldsman wrote the series premiere episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, based on a story he co-wrote with Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet."

    I'm out.

    Roberto Orci's not involved with anything Secret Hideout is doing with the Trek franchise. Kurtzman and Orci are no longer partners like they used to be (and considering Orci being a bit nuts, that's not a bad thing).

    From my perspective, this is a big boost for the upcoming slate. Now that Picard is done, there wasn’t much I was really interested in, though I’ll give Lower Decks a shot. Nice to have something big to look forward to.

    I hope they go semi-episodic. I’m tired of long arcs that don’t deliver.

    Star Trek’s had its share of underwhelming pilots before. I’m not worried (yet).

    Just bring back the TOS hull marking style, please? I'll be fine with that.
    Looking forward to figuring out the recasting of the rest of the core roster.

    Normally, I hate it, when someone just write one word as a response, and I also hate it, when someone just use capital letters but...

    INDEED.

    For me, they can have some serialized character arcs, but please, no "Pike and his crew have to defend the whole universe and it's all timey-whimey with a bunch of conspiration plots". It wouldn't be the original Enterprise, if they used too much "serial material".

    Goldsman had a writing credit on New Eden too, which I really liked and used Pike very well, so it's no problem for me he'd be involved in the pilot. Every writer has good and bad stories.

    So far I haven't had a problem with either Goldsman's and Kurtzman's writing or directing so far. I don't get where the concern is coming from if it's actually genuine.

    To be fair, he also wrote New Eden, which is a pretty good normal Trek story. The prime directive was actually used relatively decently (much better than most Trek post TOS), we got references to WW3 and we had a conversation about faith vs science. It managed to tred over well trodden TOS ground and make it feel very fresh and "real".
