Spoilers Frakes' DSC leak

So... will Stamets be straight and the rest of the crew gay for this one, to maintain continuity with Deep Space Nine?:p

Seriously though, if it's just an excuse for BDSM Burnham, they can take a hike.

If it's got some reason to exist other than titillation or fanwank, go for it.
 
Yes! Love the mirror universe (well, as entertainment, not as aspirational goal). The novels conclude it nicely.

Anyway, looking forward to see the ISS Discovery with edgy hull markings blasting phasers and torps. :bolian:
 
I liked the Mirror universe well enough, but I don't need to revisit it again.

Hm, much like with Section 31, I never had a problem with the Mirror Universe episodes (well, maybe “In A Mirror, Darkly”), but I don't feel it belongs in Discovery (yet) and kind of wish they would try to do their own thing now. Of course this could end up being awesome, and I won't complain then, but in concept I could really do without the Mirror Universe on the show.

What's interesting about this, if it turns out to be correct, is that someone in another thread here noticed that it actually looks like the dedication plaque on the bridge says “I.S.S. Discovery”. Oh well, that would be a weird choice for a first season storyline.
 
I am hoping this is am episode they are working on for season 2........seems too soon since they expanded season 1 because they had so much story to tell.

Well, they did go from 13 to 15 episodes, so perhaps the showrunners/network wanted a "quick win" episode and went back to the old reflecting pool.

Either way, I'm on the same page as my old buddy, Benny

Hugo - sniffs CBS interference if true
 
Will be interesting to see how it would fit into the overall arc of the season. Not my favourite bit of news, but considering everything else about the show looks pretty great they get the benefit of the doubt.
 
where? What we have been told is its 13-15 linked episodes in an arc, like Game of Thrones and most other modern streaming dramas.
I don't know if it's what they're doing, but I think it's possible to do both. For example, the TV show Burn Notice did that for most of its run. There was always a "case of the week", but some of the episode was also devoted to the overall arc (which was usually an arc that spanned most, if not all, of the season).

I'm not saying every episode should be story of the week + some time spent on the story arc, but it is possible to have at at least a few stand-alone stories intermixed with the arc.

Having said that, I'd rather one of the stand-alones NOT be the mirror universe. Granted, they are part of Trek, and always will be, but I find them a bit cheesy -- at least the way the mirror universe has been shown so far.
