Spoilers Hypothesis on second half of first season...

[Tuskin38]

yeah also a 2017 prius is newer than a 2016 ferrari

That isn’t my point. Read the post I was quoting.

Why would they Refit the discovery with older tech?

...
From this combination of hints in story and hints regarding production, my expectation is that the Federation-Klingon war will be essentially dropped as a plotline in the second half of the first season. Instead the spore drive will (perhaps due to the intervention of the aliens from Pahvo) begin shunting the Discovery between alternate universes. They'll spend some time in the Mirror Universe, dealing with their own 'evil" alter egos. By the end of the season, they'll land in the Prime universe, where Klingons will look like the appropriate mix of augments and TNG-era ridges with hair, and most of the visual retcons will be solved.

Thoughts?

Since they've already spent a bundle developing and implementing the visual look of the show, I don't think they're going to drastically change it any time soon.

The word was that they were prototypes and not for actually use. Maybe someone can ask the real life actor @RealJavidIqbal to confirm.

I get quite annoyed with how much @RealJavidIqbal reveals in interviews. The production team should stop him from attending parties and junkets.

They all signed a NDA, if he is actually breaking it I'm sure there are actual consequences,

they may be ok with what he is "revealing"

Yeah, but we haven’t seen Voq in like 4 episodes. They obviously wrote him off as a result of @RealJavidIqbal’s leaks.

Well done on getting written off the show, you very real and existing actor. Next time, keep your tangible mouth shut. Because it’s definitely a mouth that exists.

For Christ's sake, he's trying to get free of the show - he's in the running for the lead in Disney's John Carter sequel.

Javid Iqbal gives out free autographed stills at cons. That kind of thing is just going to breed resentment among the older actors. What a guy. What a real actor.

How about her having a more reasonable twin sister, rather than Landry the ultra rash security chief?

He’s booked on AfterTrek this Sunday. I can’t wait!

Assuming it bombs, will he come back to Discovery? Maybe in a timey wimey episode where the time line changes? Voq goes back in time, and then he can play Voqs son. And I’m the same episode we can retcon the Klingons to having hair!

Aaron, Gretchen call me! I have about 700 other ideas for you!
