Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

That's kind of odd - and very similar to Reno in DSC, being the chief engineer, yet more of a periodically recurring character, as opposed to being a part of the senior staff. In all other shows prior to DSC, the engineer was always considered a part of the main crew.

I don't get that shift.

DISCO's main cast wasn't the usual Trek line up. The lead in Discovery was a disgraced officer turned consultant. The other mains were a cadet, a Scientist, the Captain and the First Officer.

The lead in Discovery was a disgraced officer turned consultant.

After three decades as a contractor, consultant and eventually government employee, I applaud their daring.

IMDB also seems to have the director list for season 1 and some of the writing credits. May not be accurate, but here is what is says now:

1.1 - Teleplay and directed by Akiva Goldsman
1.2 - Written by Henry Alonso Myers and Sarah Tarkoff / Directed by Maja Vrvilo - has also directed for Picard and Discovery
1.3 - Written by Akela Cooper & Bill Wolkoff / Directed by Leslie Hope
1.4 - Written by Davy Perez & Beau DeMayo / Directed by Dan Liu
1.5 - Not stated
1.6 - Directed by Andi Armaganian - directed a season 4 discovery episode
1.7 - Directed by Sydney Freeland
1.8 - Directed by Amanda Row
1.9 - Directed by Christopher Byrne - has directed 3 Discovery episodes
1.10 - Directed by Chris Fisher

That's not a terrible writer's room.

Frakes was supposed to direct one of them, IIRC

Got pushed back to season 2.

I haven’t started on Strange New Worlds yet. My slot from season one disappeared because of my schedule on Picard, and the COVID of it all. So I got to do Discovery last year. I’m actually next week going up to Toronto to do an episode for season two of Strange New Worlds.

I love this shot.

 

[Belz...]

I love this shot.

That reminds me. I have to update my avatar, there.

 

[StarMan]

That's not a terrible writer's room.

Quick nosey at their IMDBs (Akiva excluded) is somewhat encouraging; no overlap with the other stuff either.

 

[GNDN18]

I love this shot.

 

[cooleddie74]

Yeah, but Kirk's mood lighting is cooler. And he has the "Eject Pod" button.

 

[Belz...]

Won't he?

 

[fireproof78]

Avatar is suspect...

 

[Skywalker]

So what you're saying is... Kirk set up that delta radiation accident so Pike would no longer be prettier than him!

 

[GNDN18]

Much the same way that Spock set up Mitchell’s downfall so he could take, uh, the seat next to the center seat. Yeah, that’s what I’m saying.

Pike bows to the superior captain!

 

[fireproof78]

Pike bows to the superior captain!

But in your post, Pike is above Kirk.

And where is Robau?

 

[cooleddie74]

WALK WITH ME.

 

[Belz...]

But in your post, Pike is above Kirk.

...touché.

I guess it's a mutual respect, then.
