I WAS surprised they didn't mention Mount.
I guess the name brand of PECK, is probably why.
Star Trek Discovery Renewed For Season 3
- Thread starter PixelMagic
- Start date
I guess the name brand of PECK, is probably why.
I was looking at his IMDB and it's a lot of variety of things, but he doesn't really scream "Name" to me. Not taking anything away but I think his most prominant role other than Discovery is probably 10 Things I hate About You (Which I thought was just a movie).
I know they keep mentioning their "Trek knowledge", but I really don't care. I want to hear how great a writer she is.
I feel bad for Kurtzman having to say stuff like that and mentioning canon at every opportunity. Canon fetishists take the fun out of everything.

At least we'll get to see for ourselves pretty soon.
We've already seen what can happen when They hire somebody with little to no Trek knowledge...
So I for one, am deeply appreciative when They bring somebody on board who at least has a clue.
(if not more)
That list also includes Harve Bennett, Nick Meyer, Rick Berman and Michael Piller.
If I want to jerk it to canon, I can just go flip through the Star Trek Encyclopedia.
That isn't always a bad thing.
Re: Kurtzman, I never got the impression that he wanted to be so intimately involved -- more that he was forced into the role by circumstance. I can see him trying to clear his plate as quickly as possible. After all, he has a whole universe to run.
Re: Discovery: Season two has been a huge improvement over season one, and I hope three continues that upward trend.

Wait, I thought one of the big talking points when they hired John Logan to write Nemesis was that he was a big trek fan.
My guess is after Berg and Herberts were fired, Kurtzman thought, "Shit! We're five episodes into the new season! I don't have time to stop everything and look for a new showrunner! I'll do it myself. We have deadlines to meet!"
Then, while keeping the writing of the season going, he went looking for a potential new showrunner during Episodes 6, 7, and 8 as he had time. After he decided to bring on Michelle Paradise, he probably said, "I see you've produced The Originals and worked on some other stuff. We had some problems with the previous showrunners, so let's see how you do as a regular writer and how you interact with the writing staff. I want everything to go smoothly."
Enter episodes 9, 13, and 14 to which she had writer credit for. Then Alex Kurtzman probably liked what he saw, liked how the writing staff gelled, and said, "Great! Congratulations! You're the new showrunner for Discovery! Now I have a focus on everything else! The Picard Series, Section 31, Lower Decks... And you thought you had a lot of work ahead of you!"
I bet you this is probably how it went.

Now that Discovery is renewed for Season 3, I do wonder more about Anson Mount's tweet that kind of set off the rumor mill. To not get negative, I wonder what will happen to them at the end of the season. Maybe they aren't coming back for Season 3 (Heck, someone needs to command the Enterprise) but I wonder what will happen to set that off. Kind of makes me a little more excited for the end of the season.
erm...he returns to the NCC 1701 and has a couple of years as captain of that ship ahead of him. Then he hands over said ship to a young captain named Kirk or something. A couple of months after that: accident and beep-beep weelchair.

The latest post on the Disco Instagram appears to be totally trolling the "It's canceled!" crowd: it's a GIF of Reno saying, "What a relief..."
J.R. Kirk, I believe.
