It would be awesome if they pulled out an audio clip of Majel Barrett saying "Last time on Star Trek The Next Generation."
Spoilers Season 3 episode names!
- Thread starter F. King Daniel
- Start date
After seeing the If Memory Serves... "previously on Star Trek" recap, I wouldn't put anything past them.
I hope for something similar, but less cartoonish
Eh, not sure I follow? My point was that it would be truly weird to have "Unification III" and "Terra Firma, Part 1" in the same season of television, with two competing styles of multipart naming in play. I'm still banking on an episode that follows up on the Unification two-parter while nonetheless giving us something in-universe with the designation "Unification III."
It's like "My Struggle" on The X-Files, where they had a non-consecutive four-parter. Wait a minute, maybe I shouldn't have used that example. 
I find it interesting to look at the writer's list.
Confirmed writers for the first 10 epiosodes
Returning:
Kirsten Beyer
Bo Yeon Kim/Erika Lippoldt (always work as a team)
Alex Kurtzman
Jenny Lumet
Alan McElroy
Michelle Paradise
Brandon Schultz
New:
Kenneth Lin (was a writer on House of Cards)
Chris Silvestri (jumped up from writer's assistant - he's been involved in the show since 2017)
Anne Cofell Saunders (started out as a writer on nuBSG. Mostly works as a producer now)
Kalinda Vazquez (was a writer on the last of the Pike Short Treks, among other things)
On the whole, this suggests great stability in the writer's room - which should be a good thing for a show with a lot of behind-the-scenes turmoil.

Stability isn't so good though if they aren't doing a good job. I would think you would in theory want to shake things up with your writing staff as your shaking things up with your premise by creating a new setting and premise. I know lots of people feel DS9 didn't get good until season 3 or the later years and it's easy to notice something about those seasons. Behr replaced Pillar in season 3 as showrunner or even late in season 2 from what I heard. Moore and Echevarria came over from TNG.

That's what happens when you fire the person with the vision like Fuller. Then the first showrunners don't work out either. Reason it took TNG 3 seasons to get things right was because of all the writing turmoil and sheer luck that they hired Pillar because they were still having issues that season with writers coming and going. It will really come down IMO to whether Michelle Paradise does just as good of job as Pillar and has the same luck he had as well. I guess it is a good omen that she has the same initials. M.P.

Note: I think its important to point out that the Disco S3 titles 'leaked' online for episodes 1-10 have not been confirmed. The Trek Report sources GWW/Emre Kaya in their articles--Emre Kaya uses insider sources, and cannot be verified as of yet. Not to say that this list is totally bogus, but I just wanted to point that out cause I see a few folks spinning their wheels about theories/feelings regarding titles.
i'm sorry but most of the stuff we've heard about his ''vision' was complete garbage and i'm glad he was fired
Fuller's Vision will be the new Gene's Vision.
Not exactly the same. More long the lines of "What if they had did that Year of Hell season on Voyager or Enterprise had come back for a 5th season and we would have gotten Shran as a regular. Gene's Vision actually happened and it didn't work well in season 1 of TNG but they did find away to make it sort of work in later seasons on TNG. Plus Fuller unlike Roddenberry has had some real success outside of Trek that makes one assume the show would be just as good as something like Hannibal or Pushing Daises. I would say it will even be more compared to the Tarantino movie we never got though even Fuller hasn't had THAT level of success. That's a even bigger gut punch.

I understand your concern, but I am of the belief that a lot of Season 2's issues came from arc problems which probably happened due to Berg/Harberts being fired midway through. My own personal guess is they felt like they had to pulp their plan for the arc because they didn't want to have to pay them for the remainder of the season, which led to everything being awkwardly bent to fit into the new "Control" idea.
I also think DS9 is a bad example, because it had great stability in the writer's room. Lots of good writers like Peter Allan Fields and Robert Hewlett Wolfe were involved right from the first season.
I'm not sure I'd say "garbage" so much as just incredibly poorly fleshed out. Certainly it seems intriguing in some aspects.
The problem with Fuller though was execution. He was fired from so many projects around the time of Discovery's first season I have to wonder if he had some drug-induced meltdown.
If done well, I would love it if they managed to pull the better elements of that show into S3. Andromeda went to hell, admittedly: but there was a lot of good stuff there, too.In which episode do they meet the Andromeda
Metallica has songs called Unforgiven, Unforgiven II, and Unforgiven III, and none of them are on the same album.
Let's just wait until we see unification III before we judge it. Maybe the name will make complete sense after
