If we haven't seen it already, it cannot possibly exist.

I'm renowned for adding some mushrooms to Hamburger Helper Beef Stroganoff.
If you throw in a splash of red wine too, it's really pretty good.

Carlos Castaneda.
Very exciting news. So glad to officially here that Michelle is confirmed. I'm a fan of Doug and hopefully they let him speak his own dialogue. 
I don't know much about Anthony Rapp but a good friend of mine is a big fan and despite not being a Star Trek fan, was excited by the news.

That's a universally applicable statement.
It's definitely an oddly specific role for the character to have, but it bolsters my working theory that Discovery's mission is to find a cure for the Tarsus IV crop blight (which was caused by a fungus mutation, as I recall).
Tarsus IV or not, such a specific role HAS to be some kind of hint of a plot point.
If you consider The Cage to be the start of TOS, it works, since that adds an additional ten to eleven years.
Great news! It begins!
Happy to hear casting announcements. I wonder if they will have the usual bridge crew as the main cast or will the focus be on other members of the crew. It would be nice to at least know what characters will make up the main cast even if they won't announce the casting for those characters yet.
I doubt that's what they mean, since it isn't. TOS is the show about Kirk and Spock.
I just checked the wikipedia page, just to be sure, and it still shows as May 2017.
I noticed Doug Jones and Anthony Rapp's characters are both science officers. Does this mean we actually are going to see more to a department (in this case, Discovery's science department) than just its senior officer? Then again, they don't actually specify Doug Jones's character is serving on the Discovery, so I guess he could very well be the senior science officer of Michelle Yeoh's ship.
Voyager had bioneural gel packs. Discovery must have state of the art Shroom computers.
I was referring to November as the start date for shooting. Okay that was never confirmed but before Fuller left it seemed likely. What concerns me now is that December seems unlikely as everyone will be taking Christmas off from work so filming may only start in January.
Nick Meyer's dog was nervous about going on the Discovery stages this Monday. Could be a hint that filming has just begun.

Why would that even be a problem? Most shows only start filming about 8 weeks before their season goes to air. Other Trek shows have been the same too.
Having a fixed start date forces them to actually get things done, even if it's not their original plan. The reason Dr. McKay was in Stargate Atlantis was because they ran out of time to find an actor for the scientist role and so they went with a pre-established character and things turned out better for the show.
The reverse of that of course is TMP where they had a fixed date and couldn't 100% finish the movie on time and it suffered for decades until the Director's Edition was released.
Of course, November was never an officially announced date, just a rumor, so perhaps they haven't missed anything.
Lt. Stamets will be the gay character.
