Season 2 Teaser

To be fair, 006 went mad and tried to kill Bond and 007 had to drive a tank through St Petersburg.

If Michael goes mad and tries to kill the Discovery crew and she ends up falling off a giant satellite dish in s2...

... we’ll know they’ve ripped off Goldeneye.
Bond will go back to wearing a Tag-Heur like he did in the late 80's instead of the Omega he normally but not always wears and fans will scream that isn't their Bond and start a thousand page thread about the shape of the second-hand.
 
I must have missed that. Where was Tilly shown on the bridge?

She was accepted into the "Starfleet Command Training Program" in the season finale. The implication was she got her wish and is on command track (rather than science/engineering track) hence will be stationed on the bridge.
 
And scripts were all done (though of course subject to change but probably not much at this stage) before B&H departed.

We have no evidence to suggest that all of the scripts for Season 2 were written at the point Berg/Harberts were fired. Indeed, I'm almost certain they weren't, given one of the stated reasons for firing was abuse of the junior writers, and if the work of the writing room for the season was done (aside from minor edits) they wouldn't be chewing them out on an ongoing basis.

There really isn't a space for her on the bridge. Burnham is a science officer. Most likely Saru will continue to be XO. The other positions seem filled. She might be on a command career path but there are probably gold-shirts elsewhere besides the bridge. All we saw of her in the trailer was she was still alongside Stamets, and that seems a good pairing, generally.

Besides, she might wind up on the 7 year Harry Kim Fast-Track Career path.

Well if it’s supposed to be the same watch...
 
Yeah, it sometimes seems as though those other Federation starships are like the other "double-0" agents in the Bond movies. 007 is indestructible, but 006 or 008 might as well be wearing a red shirt . . . :)

"005 was on the case, Bond, but his body just turned up floating in the Seine."
All 9 were on the case in Thunderball, and it was still 007 who saved the day.
 
We never seen them in this time period before in canon, so you really can't say that.
You're moving the goalposts here. If you think there's enough of a comparison to past depictions to assert that they haven't changed, then I can use those same comparisons to argue that they have.

And c'mon, it's not as if I was introducing anything out of left field. Every one of the difference I mentioned from that list has already been noticed and discussed by plenty of other posters around here.
 
I think that if anything the season finale strayed from Sarek's previous portrayal, but his previous apperances on Discovery were pretty in-character, IMO.

You mean how he was so effusive with praise of Burnham that it seemed like he was glowing with pride?

I don't know? From what I saw, Frain came across as far stiffer than Mark Lenard.

Or radiation. You can never know with these Vulcan scientists.

I like to think that reconnecting with Burnham leads to him being less stiff in the future, but I guess we will see.
 
My issue with STD's Sarek is the casting and the performance.

Frain looks too happy in the role. He always looks like he's smiling.

He doesn't resemble Mark Leonard at all, not even in the performance, or voice. Leonard came across as quite stern and intimidating.

Frain wasn't onstage last week, so hopefully that's a sign Sarek isn't going to play a large role this season.

Though I suppose if we have flashbacks to young Spock he will have to be involved to some degree.
 
DS9: Although tons of new elements were introduced (notably the Dominion) DS9 for the most part fleshed out elements of Trek mythos which were created by TOS or TNG, such as Cardassians, Bajorans, the Maquis, Klingons, Ferengi, etc).

For the most part? I mean, there were these DS9 original things called the Prophets and the Dominion which I think played a preeeetty big role in the series...


You posted this in response to a list that included "the Klingons, the D-7, the Enterprise, Harry Mudd, Sarek, Amanda, Pike, Number One, Spock."

Do you really think so?

So far, of those nine, we've seen the first six on the show. I'd say that all of them (except possibly Amanda, who had a very brief appearance) were portrayed in ways that strayed markedly from their past depictions. The differences in the Klingons, their ships, and the Enterprise have already been discussed at length around here. Mudd was markedly more bloodthirsty than ever seen before. Sarek initially seemed more similar to his classic appearances, but by the end of the season he was turned into a mouthpiece for war crimes, which did no service to his character.

So what do those examples allow us to anticipate about the depictions of Pike, Number One, and Spock?...

The Enterprise still looks like the Enterprise to me. Not that we've even seen more than 2 seconds of footage of it to judge. And Mudd was bloodthirsty and callous from his first appearance. People's memory of Mudd as this harmless joker is seriously inaccurate.
