News Kurtzman: What To Expect In Season Four Of Discovery

[TimeIsAPredator]

Vance may have been embarrassed to introduce Saru to the other captains, since Saru was such a bad captain. Now that Burnham is captain I'm sure Vance will be introducing her to everyone. Or he may just wait a month until she is promoted to admiral and introduce her to everyone as his replacement

All Captains briefings have been cancelled and replaced by Burnham having one on ones with Vance

I actually think Saru was a good Captain. A little green, but that's to be expected when you're new in a position. We did see what I assume were other Captains at the beginning of "Die Trying" when Vance was briefing everyone.

Tilly was his only really wrong step. That and not spacing Georgiou

I never got the impression that vance thought saru wasn't captain material. In fact, i think vance's dialogue in terra firma pt 1 indicates that he probably sees a bit of himself as a fledgling captain in Saru.

I'd argue the antagonist in that episode was actually racism, even though many of the individual white people were total dicks to Benny Russell.

The "antagonist" - or more properly, the central story challenge to be overcome - in the episode was in fact Sisko's oldest, which was his ambivalence and self-doubt regarding his purpose and his mission in life. This episode was a step on the road to resolving that, and the experience he had as Benny Russell, of struggling but holding to his principles and vision in a crushing, brutal and completely unjust world was that episode's "gift from the prophets" as it were.

The villain of the season will be Burnham's self doubt. She will realize in the end all she needed to be a good captain is friends you can rely on. Jason

 

[Yistaan]

Burnham fans are curious about the fate of the Burnham-Book relationship. Kurtzman said that “there will be interesting new challenges,” in that relationship. “No good love story is really good without a lot of tests of that love,” he said. “So she’ll be going through some of that too.”

Panicked, Admiral Vance orders the forcible conscription of all Kwejian to power the Federation's new spore-drive fleet to stop the Borg. Book, angered at the Federation's sudden betrayal and enslavement of his people, goes rogue, swears revenge against Burnham and the Federation, and steals the SB-19 data to give it to the Klingons.

More Kurtzman Trek, YEAH!
More brilliant scripts and dialogues!

This but unironically.

I agree (I was being sarcastic in my prior post). Saru wasn't perfect but did ok considering he was brand new. Even the more questionable decisions like making Tilly acting first officer wasn't entirely wrong as she clearly has an aptitude for command. I liked the mentor / mentee relationship between Vance and Saru. Of course now the mentor / mentee relationship will continue except (sarcasm back on) with Burnham as the mentor and Vance as the mentee.

Hmm.

S3 was about Burnham trying to find out the cause of the Burn, so S4 will obviously be about the Ham.

I'll get my coat.

 

[RAMA]

There's not much here, but it still sounds intriguing... Picking up where season 3 left off with an unexpected conclusion.

RAMA

What I would like them to do is stray away from the whole, Discovery is the most important starship and Burnham is the most important person and they must save the galaxy every season thread. I realize each Star Trek series and nearly every film prior to this has also done this at one point or another, but, Discovery seems to want to remind us of this nearly every week.

I'd like the show to take it down a notch, be a little more low-key and not have nearly everything hang in the balance.

 

[fireproof78]

Well, until we get more Spore Drives (or it is nerfed-that would be better) Discovery will be the most special. And it's the hero ship.

Tilly loses her PADD: A 9 episode odyssey. It was under her bed all along. With bonus all-grudge episode.

Going back through some of the older Trek, I miss the quiet moments. Those were the moments where we got to see the crew interacting and we got to learn about who these people were outside of a crisis. There are not enough of these moments in most of modern Trek.

Discovery in general hasn't had "character focus" episodes yet, with the exception of Forget Me Not.

Just curious - what would you classify:

S3 - "Terra Firma Pt. 1" and "Terra Firma Pt. 2" as? <--- They're both Empress Georgiou character focused.

I honestly felt like "Context is for Kings" was largely a character focus on Michael. But maybe I define character focus far differently.
