    Doug Jones almost-confirms Starfleet Academy is set in the same era as Discovery

    Yes, many of us figured as much given the wording in SFA's announcement blurb. And yes, there is always the rather remote chance that Doug Jones has this wrong. But I think we can, like, 98% put this one to rest. Thanks, TrekMovie!

    Discovery characters you predict will appear in Starfleet Academy

    We've had a little scattered chatter about this already, but I thought it might warrant its own thread. Obviously, I'm coming at this with the assumption that SFA is a 32nd-century series, based on the wording of its announcement. If, for whatever reason, you're unconvinced of that fact, I...

    SFX Magazine (Via TrekMovie): Kurtzman discusses potential for miniseries/event-length projects

    Alex Kurtzman's been interviewed in the latest issue of SFX Magazine. TrekMovie has collected excerpts from that interview concerning Kurtzman's apparent interest in doing shorter-length Star Trek fare centering on specific characters. I don't want to pilfer everything TrekMovie quoted from...

    You know what? Let's do it again. Predict the number of seasons Strange New Worlds will run.

    With the riveting success of Discovery's poll thread (I'm mostly kidding but it was fun), let's spend the next however long musing over how much Strange New Worlds we'll get in the final telling, too. Is it an exercise in deep thinking? No. Is it even all that interesting a notion? Arguable...

    Paramount+ has published a (brief) season five synopsis

    This happened during Star Trek Day, according to TrekMovie, but it somehow flew past me entirely until last night. Was I blind? Probably, but I didn't see a thread on it, so hopefully this is okay. "An ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries" really has me...

    Sonequa Martin-Green Responds To ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Critics; Says No Endgame Planned Yet

    Note: I've lifted this directly from TrekMovie. There's more at the link. In a RadioTimes interview, concerning critics of the show: Regarding whether an endgame is being planned now that the show is entering its fifth year:

    Michelle Paradise: Seasons 3 and 4 covered rebuilding Federation arc; seasons 5 onward = new

    Apologies for the sloppy thread title. Had to fold it all together like a warmed-over omelet. Paradise also says the fourth-season finale was never intended to serve as a potential series finale despite how it comes across. One more thing for those of us keeping score on the likelihood of x...

    Bob Bakish: Discovery's fourth season is off to"the fastest start to date"

    First, a little clarification - it could be argued that this quote simply regards a higher number of subscribers present than previous seasons, which is a no-brainer and not necessarily Discovery-specific. The larger evidence that Bakish isn't (at least entirely) twisting terms here is in what...

    Theory on Tilly's character arc this season

    As of this writing, we're three episodes into Discovery's fourth season. Since Paramount's being oddly coy here, I don't know if that means we have ten more to go, or nine more, or even seven more, or what, but regardless it's still early. Tilly's clearly on some kind of personal spiritual path...

    Early fourth-season themes likely to play into future revelations

    If there's one thing Discovery loves to do each season, it's to seed upcoming story twists not-so-subtly in the early hours so that we can all sorta pretend we didn't see them coming. (I love the show wholeheartedly. These characters and their actors rule. But it's so true.) "Why does Lorca...

    Robert Beltran (Chakotay) is back for Star Trek: Prodigy

    Announced at the 55-Year Mission convention. I'm frankly astonished. The man was miserable for much of his run on Voyager. Out of all Star Trek alumni, I can only think of two actors/actresses whose returns would surprise me more -- Jolene Blalock and Jennifer Lien. But hey, I'm here for this.

    Spoilers John de Lancie confirms that shooting for seasons two *and* three is underway

    The good folks at TrekMovie have been documenting various Cameo messages recorded in recent days by the one and only John de Lancie. While TrekMovie's article contains several other neat nuggets of information, here's the standout: Hello. Suddenly, stuff like LeVar Burton coming right and...

    Let’s be silly: predict the number of seasons Discovery runs; come back later to see if you're right

    Reports of Discovery's death after the first season were greatly exaggerated. Reports of Discovery's death after the second season were greatly exaggerated. Reports of Discovery's death after the third season were greatly exaggerated. At this point, barring a major shift in Paramount's goals...

    Will some Trek historians help me out here? I’m confused by Earth’s Alpha/Beta Quadrant positioning.

    Lifelong fan, but I’ve never had a mind for the minutiae. Sometimes, that leaves me a touch bewildered. It is my vague understanding that the Sol System straddles the borders of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants because the delineation is a humanity-centric concept. (Stop me here if I’m already...

    Now that it's been a few weeks, here's the inevitable poll. Favorite season thus far?

    Apologies if this has already been made into a poll elsewhere. I'm not around these parts especially often. But I'm curious; I'd like to take TrekBBS' "pulse" on this one. I've seen opinions that have been all over the place on season 3. Then again, the same applies to 1 and 2! So let's see how...

    Curious how well the Discovery novels tie in with what's been canonically depicted onscreen!

    I was reading up on the ongoing tie-in works from Pocket Novels and I'm considering dabbling in them sometime soon. I don't mind whether or not they sync especially well with what has been put to the screen but I'm curious nevertheless. I recall that "Desperate Measures," the first book, pretty...

    I hope Strange New Worlds brings back Ash Tyler every now and then.

    He doesn't need to be a series regular or anything, but an every-once-in-a-while Starfleet fixture, like an odd blend between Nechayev and... Sloan. Discovery's second season left Ash in the 22nd century. More than that, it also gave us a rather fulfilling Pike/Tyler dynamic. As the season...

    Spoilers Out of all the past shows’ main characters, who are you the LEAST interested in seeing again?

    Many Trek fans, myself absolutely included, love chatting about which legacy characters they’d love to see return — especially now that we’ve got a show set just past the TNG/DS9/VOY-era. We’ve been treated to tons of Seven, and we’ve caught up with Riker, Troi, Hugh, and... um... we certainly...

    Episode titles revealed up through 1x05

    Courtesy of CBS’ website by way of TrekCore, we now have episode titles for the first half of the season. While we already knew that 1x02 is “Maps & Legends” and 1x03 is “The End is the Beginning”, this is the first I’m hearing at least that 1x04 is “Absolute Candor” and 1x05 is “Stardust City...

    Do we know which two Short Treks will be the animated installments?

    I tried to find a dedicated Short Treks thread to no avail; apologies if I missed something obvious along the way. I’m curious if context clues and/or official word have indicated to us which of the six “second season” Short Treks are the animated installments. Unless something has changed...
