Michelle Yeoh Star Trek spinoff in development at CBS All Access - Official
- Thread starter BrokenFiction
- Start date
I'm not sure I like action based Star Trek.
Edit:
Also does Discovery explain why they seem far more advanced for a show set before Kirk? I've only watched 4 episodes.

I fucking loved it. I was skeptical and signed up only for the free trial but was immediately hooked. It felt like a truly modern show about Star Trek, in a good way. Serialized storytelling, etc. Really great characters and twists.
It is more than good, it is one of the best first seasons of any Trek show to date.
I mean, there's no shortage of anti-heroes on television and even in lead roles. They could take the angle that her prejudices are based on her environment and she's able to use her ruthlessness she built in her previous life in Section 31 and learn better. Then again, Section 31 has always been the least "moral" of any organization within Starfleet, so she likely fits right in, particularly immediately after a costly Klingon war.
Thats basically the plan lol. This is the third live-action show in development, plus two animated shows in development.
Disco and Short Treks are great so I'm excited and it's an entirely new premise so we aren't just getting another starship going on adventures.
completely agree. Also the fact that it's a short season really helps-it never loses momentum.
I haven't seen an episode but I heard about the hook for the Discovery pilot and I am SUPER CONFUSED
what is the other animated one, I know they had a sitcom like one in the works that sounded horrible
They are all different enough too, plus the two animated series. So at least we aren't getting TNG 2.0 (i.e. Voyager).
Captain Georgiou is basically killed in the 2 hour premiere. The main character is punished for the incident responsibile for this. During the course of the show, the Discovery finds its way to a parallel universe-the Mirror Universe seen in other series. In this Universe Georgiou is still alive, but she's the Emperor of the evil faction that rules the universe-they basically kill/eat/enslave any aliens that aren't humans. She makes a deal with our main character to help the Discovery escape in the finale and makes her way back to our universe.
Yep, it's bizarre to say the least. Also, I'm worried that they are going full Disney with their galactic IP, perhaps they should slow down a little with all these new series.
You forgot
The universe is a germ or something and it makes faster than warp travel possible
Hmmm-I forget, was the Mirror Universe connected to the spores somehow?
Yeah hard to come back from that shit! That stew scene was a rough watch.
I stopped watching after the mid-season finale but this certainly took a turn.
They import an alternate dimension version of her later in the season, where she's basically space Hitler, but worse
Discovery's second half is a bunch different twists layered on top of each other.
One of our main characters on the Discovery, Saru is a "Kelpian"
when Michael went to the MU world, she had to pretend to be evil to keep her cover-and she had MU Saru as a slave and also ate a Kelpian.
I wish we could get just one really great Star Trek show. Maybe there are enough great story lines to go around but I just hate when they dilute everything with spin offs. Five shows is bordering on saturation. I know they need content for their streaming service but jeez.
Yeah she was great in Discovery reminded me of Prince Vegeta with her arrogance towards the Federation. All aboard
Honestly it's amazing. There's so many twists-that honestly I didn't see coming, but a lot of people here and on reddit had guessed way ahead of time. That's not to knock the writing though-they are very bold choices.
Maybe she dies at the end of it?
Or maybe it's Star Trek's version of Suicide Squad?
