Star Trek: Discovery left us with one Enterprise-ing tease for Season 2, but the real threat was hidden on the cutting room floor. A deleted finale scene name-drops a sinister branch of Starfleet from the Deep Space Nine days, and confirms a familiar face will return in Season 2.
We love the interplay of Star Trek technology with our own world, but less so when especially fake science inspires even more fake research. That’s exactly what happened, as one of Star Trek: Voyager’s most infamously so-bad-it’s-good episodes inspired a facetious research paper – one that scientific journals actually published.
Even if the fans beat them to it, Sunday’s Star Trek: Discovery at last confirmed that a major character was not what they seemed. “The Wolf Inside” revealed its Klingon twist beyond any doubt, but – for those still confused – stars and producers explain the logistics of Ash and Voq’s connection.
Quentin Tarantino is not only developing a Star Trek movie with J.J. Abrams, but he’s convinced Paramount to let him make an R-rated feature. And if Paramount can get behind that wacky insanity, then who knows what other zany tricks are up Tarantino’s sleeve — all of which is to say that maybe we shouldn’t be surprised every time there’s a new story about this movie. Anything is possible, including the potential for Patrick Stewart to reprise his role as Jean-Luc Picard, which is exactly what he’d like to do.

Star Trek: Discovery just aired its premiere, and already we’re impatient for Season 2. The same lengthy production that delayed Sunday’s arrival repeatedly might keep us waiting until 2019 for a second round, according to producers.
If you’ve seen one montage of Federation ships sailing through space, you’ve seen them all. That’s why Star Trek: Discovery aimed for something different with its title credits, as the intricate designs and technology leap off the page before Sunday’s premiere.
CBS is keeping Star Trek: Discovery under a curious amount of spoiler scrutiny, and we may know why. Franchise veteran Jonathan Frakes let slip a major return for the new series that may have you trimming a goatee in anticipation.
The pressing need to perfect Star Trek: Discovery as the franchise’s TV return is precisely what caused its numerous delays in the first place, but CBS may not have high confidence. Reports suggest Star Trek: Discovery reviews will be embargoed right up through the premiere.
It looks like Star Trek, but will CBS’ Discovery sound like Star Trek? Very much so by its full score, as CBS releases the classic-tinged title theme that will christen Star Trek: Discovery when the new series premieres in late September.
