“For the Discovery Is Hollow and I Have Taken the Turbolifts”
"Turboshaft Expander."
TV-MA
at least for Discovery, when the episode ran more than 50 minutes my DVR would say around 1 Hour 15 Minutes.
For example Season 3 Episode 2 says 1:13, the actual runtime of the episode without commercials is 53 Minutes
Season 4 Episode 13 - 1h 23m Recorded, runtime 1 hour.
That reminds me I need to clean my DVR. I still have all of Season 3 on there.

At this point barring surprises it doesn't seem like we will be seeing Boyce, Tyler, or Colt from Cage at all. I especially would have liked to see Colt's character continue. As for Boyce, they could just set him up as a spare doctor hanging around M'Benga with no indication why he lost the CMO job considering literally the same thing is going to happen to M'Benga himself in TOS.

M'Benga has an internship or residency to do on Vulcan after all.
The first review I’ve spotted so far and it’s pretty positive…mild spoilers so be warned before you click the link

Oh no it doesn’t.
With good lighting it looks just as good as it did back in The 60’s.

Given the casting choice, it seems that they are ignoring The Counter-Clock Incident. Oh well. That's going to bother a lot of people, but I'm not going to be one of them.
When Pike finds Number One, it’s on a planet that recently became aware of warp drive for the first time, but intends to use it in a far different way. These aliens are like 21st century us, impossibly divided and seemingly hellbent on destroying one another. Pike decides that he’s going to dissuade them by talking about Earth’s own history: how in the 2000s, the U.S. became so fractious it plunged into a “Second Civil War,” the moniker Starfleet historians retroactively applied to… the events we’re living right now. Images of “Stop the Steal” placards, possibly from the January 6 insurrection, pop onscreen.

I don’t think there are necessarily any issues.
The Counter-Clock Incident can still be canon, we just know that in universe April doesn’t look like he does in the cartoon. And a character’s age isn’t automatically the same actor portraying them’s age. No reason Adrian Holmes can’t be playing older than he is as April.
I’m happy with it. I figured there was a high chance we’d see April in this season, and possibly the premiere, so I’m unsurprised to read he’ll be there, and the casting seems solid to me, he’s proven himself capable of portraying someone in a position of authority with gravitas behind him.

Yeah, if SNW April is the same age as the actor portraying him, his age contradicts "The Counter-Clock Incident," in which April is 75 in 2270 (and thus born in 2195) and would've been 50 years old when the Enterprise launched in 2245
Roddenberry's conception of Robert April was that he was around 34 when he commanded the Enterprise. If SNW's team are basing their conception of April's age on that original conception and ignoring TAS (or that specific episode of TAS, which they apparently are in regards to the character's rank and race), a Robert April who was 34 in 2245 would be 48 in 2259.

I think it’s worth mentioning that Patrick Stewart is presently 15 years younger than Jean-Luc Picard is on Picard.
A character’s age isn’t dictated by the actor portraying them.

Apparently Deadline broke the story about Adrian Holmes having a recurring role in SNW nearly a year ago.
Although not the main subject of the article, it included this bit:

Ironically the 2 most prominent "expanded universe" appearances of April outside of the animated series episode, the comics Star Trek Countdown to Darkness from Kelvin timeline and Star Trek Early Voyages comic book set in the 2250s in the Prime Timeline, April was presented as a shady villainous evil Admiral type who was basically a card carrying member of Section 31 in all but name. The Kelvin timeline comic even outright ended with him in prison.
