    I’ve been really looking forward to this and certainly will do so upon the high seas, but it saddens me this will likely last only one season due to lack of viewers. The ethically minded people who left Paramount+ largely includes Trekkies. Myself included. At least I have a not so comPLEX way of watching when it hits.

      ADMIRAL Harry

      Alternate universe confirmed. And likely doomed if LD has anything to say about it.

          Well, sort of. This series is set in Disco’s 31st century, but Tawny Newsome (played Mariner on Lower Decks) is on the writing staff I think, so let’s hope she can inject some goodness.

            It doesn’t matter when it’s set, it’s about tone. If this isn’t grimdark there’s a chance I might like it. Current events are enough grimdark for me.

          Yeh. Really, I hope this takes full advantage of the 31st century setting, because I feel like there’s so much to explore, even in existing Star Trek societies.

          While some might see the Klingons here as beating a dead horse, I really have wanted to know how the Klingons handled the burn. I hope it’s not something dumb like, “My race turned to civil war.”

          I think it would be kind of awesome if instead, we had the homeworld Klingons have a cultural shift where they choose to avoid civil war and instead embrace unprecedented collaboration in the hopes of one day attaining their former glory. Of course, this doesn’t mean they quit being warriors; my thought is to keep their teeth sharp, there is a gladiator set up using holodeck and transporter technology where two combatants enter. Then, the computer randomly selects, with the result unknown to the combatants, whether it merely streams the combatant’s presence to each other and prevents lethal blows or actually puts the combatants in a duel to the death (about a 1/20 chance).

            Totally this. I loved the concept of a far future and the Federation needing to be rebuilt. It’s ripe for much more exploration.

            The holodeck training concept was introduced on VOY with the Hirogen. They likely weren’t successful, but to see the Klingons employ that method and come out the other side could be fun to explore.
