Cheers for the update Prof.
That seems a bit daft.

[Goaty]

Well I really can't wait to see it. I am Trekkie and proud of it!

[The Legendary Shark]

Aye, me too - looking forward to this!

Ah yeah, I'd say most of us are to some degree, and most of us will watch it at some stage.
Just seems a bit silly to establish a third continuity / time-line is all.

[von Boom]

I'm not pleased about the third timeline angle. I'll look at it and judge it on it's own merits, but it probably won't be my Trek.

[The Legendary Shark]

Given that there's a Mirror Universe, surely this is a fourth (at least) timeline?

Then there's the Borg-on-Earth-During-the-First-Warp-Flight timeline, the Voyager-in-Ice timeline and the millions of All-Good-Things timelines...

I visited there once Sharky- you were working as Chief Whip of the Conservative Party if I recall.

There are probably hundreds of divergent time-lines established in Star Trek over the years, but this is different- we the viewers are now presented with three options as the 'starting point'.

And presumably had either a neat black goatee or an eyepatch...

Funny. I always see Sharky busing tables at a Little Chef in the mirror universe. 

[The Legendary Shark]

Pah. Have you insects never heard of Emperor Shark, Conqueror of Freedom, Lord of All the Agonies and Supreme Commander of Tables Six Through Twelve?

[Dreddzilla]

For what it's worth STD will be rated TV-MA in the states. Fun fact The Walking Dead and Hannibal didn't even get that.

They really have not got a clue what they are doing with this show!

They've spent a lot of money on what some insiders believe is a generic Sci Fi show with little to tie it to Star Trek Universe but the name. Some claim that Discovery is the start of an Anthology series with different aspects of this version of the Trek universe being examined.

Yes the original plan was an anthology series, which would have been a good idea.
