Discovery is now past its fourth episode: "
The Butcher’s Knife Cares Not for the Lamb’s Cry”.
We have seen the 'new' Klingon physiology, the 'new' USS Discovery, and the 'old' lens flare of the JJ-Verse Kelvin timeline.
And already, 3 of the Discovery character's have been incorporated into the Star Trek Timelines game:
Desert Philippa Georgiou (Command and Diplomacy skills);
Lieutenant-Commander Saru ( Command and Science skills);
T'Kuvma (Command and Security skills).
Also, Saru is available as First Officer Saru (Command and Science skills - up to 4-star).
So, first I would like to point out that personally, having watched
The Man Trap first air on television in '66, that I am in no way a fan of the Kelvin timeline ... even though I did like the premise of new Star Trek. Having said that, I see
Discovery as a continuation of the TOS timeline universe, and look forward to seeing what CBS can do to keep the fan base excited for more.
And they (CBS) will have to do a lot, as the show is available only on CBS All Access in the USA, and a day later on Netflix most everywhere else.
Being Canadian, I get it free on Space Channel here in the Great White North.
So feel free to add your thoughts on the new series ... its fast incorporation into Timelines ... and if you *sigh* prefer Kelvin to TOS/TNG/DS9 timelines.
