Exactly.
This is my thoughts as well. The idea of explorers pushed in to a war is an interesting point of view, one that has been explored in different ways. Captain Georgiou might be the more explorer type who gets shoved up against the violence of war.
That's possible but I wonder what you would do with the Klingons during that time. I think it might be possible that some of exploration will be the human characters and Klingon characters trying to learn about each other. Burnham is supose to be some kind of scientist that studies cultures I believe. Maybe they work together in a way their governments don't support and become enemies from their own governments. because they refuse to do something horrible that will kill many innocent people.

I'd comfortably guess a merger of both elements of B.
There's a war on. They need to fight. They're scientists, not soldiers and thus they go off and science to their hearts content with the goal of finding a solution rather than just build bigger guns.
It's amazing how often a middle path exists in these situations.
Not to mention a majority of the more recent trailers show much better lighting. I still think the footage used in the first two trailers wasn't quite finished.
Deciding at this point that you know exactly what the second season will do is even dumber than acting like you know what the first season will do. Yes, Tuskin also talked about what the plans are for season 2, but at least he's going by what the writers have said. You're just going by what you assume.Plans change.
Fuller had plans, too.
They say that year two will address "the aftermath" of the Klingon War.
You know, there was quite an "aftermath" to the Great War. We call it World War II.
I haven't decided that I know anything about the future.
The future is fundamentally unknowable.
On the contrary, the people boosting this show have decided that they know all kinds of things about its future based on spotty evidence. I'm pointing out that they don't know what they want to think they know.
What I have is a response to what I'm seeing right now.

It is silly to think that CBS will want to do a 180 degree turn from the Klingon war if the show is a tremendous success. That simply isn't how TV works.
Did I say that? The writers have said it will focus on the aftermath of the war. Sounds reasonable to me. Plus, AGAIN, the series will feature the war. It won't be about the war. The writers have repeatedly stated that.
The people boosting this show are excited to see it. We're fans. That should be expected.
It's the nay-sayers who are deciding they already know things.
Most of the people you're calling "naysayers" are just looking at the promotion and not finding it real promising.
I like it, but then again, what do I know?
One thing I'm sick of, and Trek's not the only one at fault with this, is the way the camera shakes when ships blow up. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think there's concussion waves in space. When there's a kewl 'sploshun, I wanna see the kewl 'sploshun, the camera shaking just obscures it.

Come on, you know several are making grandiose claims about the entire first season.

Shows change stories between seasons all the time.
What grandiose claims are being made about the first season? Seriously? People are talking about the trailers and the interviews. You find much to be positive about, and there's nothing wrong about that. Me? I have reservations about what I am seeing, and mentioning them, this is a message board not a pep rally.
It seems less like you want them to respect the history, and more like you expect them to be TOS purists and pretend Berman & Braga never happened.
During TOS and TMP it was envisioned by the writers and artists that photon torpedoes were nothing but pure energy, but that was never confirmed on screen, and then it was confirmed in TWOK that they had physical casings, which continued into every subsequent production. Should we imagine that never existed before just because the TOS writers never thought of it? In-universe it makes the most sense that they always had casings, and they were just never mentioned during TOS.
The same applies to the term "warp core", which was used in ENT. And before you go cursing Berman's name for that, remember who actually put it there: Doug Drexler, a raging TOS fanboy. You were six in 1969? Doug was staying up late on school nights to watch Scotty drive starships while you were still in diapers. He worked on the TOS sets for the throwback episodes in TNG, DS9, and ENT... and he also put a warp core underneath Engineering on the TOS Constitution. Are you going to tell me Doug "didn't really bother to look a lot at ACTUAL TOS episodes" now?
I wish they had just said "Ya know what? This is a STRAIGHT reboot with no relation to canon." That way they could avoid all the mess.
