Discovery & # 39; and what will remain the same

The final season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery left Trekkers on the edge of their holodecks. The discovery took a 930-year journey into the future. That's where Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 will be revived, but the show has revealed only a few clues about what awaits the discovery team when it jumps a millennium ahead of its time.

Star Trek: Discovery Presenter Michelle Paradise was able to give some additional insights on the third season of the series. She participated in a panel of CBS showrunners discussing "Impact Storytelling". Discovery certainly tells social and political stories through the prism of science fiction, as Gene Roddenberry has always done in the original Star Trek. But now we are talking about the future.

'Star Trek: Discovery' goes boldly where no 'Star Trek' went before

Star Trek: Discovery was put 10 years before The original series. Like a prelude, he was telling stories before Captain Kirk's adventures, but that would inform the Star Trek we knew. This goes well beyond even Captain Picard's time.

"We are really excited about the fresh snow and its possibilities," said Paradise. "It will be 930 years in the future, what does that mean, just for the sake of the world. How can we also maintain what everyone loves about Star Trek in all of this? "

Even if it's the future, he stays connected to 'Star Trek'

930 years old takes the discovery to the shelter of others Star Trek series, whose stories are considered canon. same Star Trek: Picard, which will bring back Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner and Jeri Ryan, will be a distant memory for the Discovery. However, Paradise takes care to check with each other Star Trek shows anyway.

"Yes, it takes us beyond the cannon," said Paradise. "To be clear, we honor the cannon. All this has come down to us. There is a story in the world we enter. All the shows that preceded and everything that was established, but we are in the fresh snow this season. "

The future will not change 'Star Trek: Discovery'

Star Trek: Discovery baderted his own identity. As a streaming series for CBS All Access, there was no need to comply with network or syndication standards. Paradise believes in the tone of Star Trek: Discovery has heart, characters, is fun and fun, with lots of action. It will not change in season 3.

"It's a tone that looks like our show and a tone that works for us," said Paradise. "We therefore fully intend to continue moving forward in this new future, whatever it is."

Each member of Discovery's crew has a role to play in the future

Any spaceship has a large crew, so it can be difficult to give everyone their episode. The original series focus on Sulu or Chekov from time to time, and The next generation would have a Worf or LaForge episode. So can we still expect to focus on Tilly (Mary Wiseman) and Rhys (Patrick Kwok-Choon)?

"We have a very big casting but we have a beautiful casting. They are wonderful characters and we naturally want to serve them in the best possible way, "said Paradise. "So obviously, Sonequa is our number one. She is our lead and everything will be focused on her, Michelle, Doug, Mary and everyone else. "

Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) is not stopped, and that's right.

"We are really trying to make everyone have their moment and everyone has the opportunity to shine in the way that all our players can," said Paradise. "It's fun for us to do that."

It is unlikely that the clbadic characters of "Trek" will reappear

One thing that jumps 930 years in advance is the future appearances of clbadic Star Trek characters like Spock and Pike. Vulcans live longer than humans, but not so long ago.

"We did it last season with Pike and with Spock," said Paradise. "It was really wonderful to be able to tell stories of unknowns, especially Pike and Spock. How is Pike found on this chair? Who was Spock before becoming the Spock we know and love on TOS?

"It was wonderful to be able to play in this sandbox and tell these stories. As you probably know, we are well ahead this season in narration. We are going to 930 years in the future. Logistically, it becomes a challenge.

The course was planned for "Star Trek: Discovery"

Paradise has been promoted to showrunner for the third season. The decision to send Discovery in the future predates his term as a writer.

"The decision to look to the future at the end of season 2 was somehow taken towards the beginning of season 2, while I was not in the series yet," said Paradise Siad. "So I did not participate in these discussions. How was the decision made to jump? I was not there for that. "
