DISCOVERY TO CONFRONT CANON ISSUES
Posted: 052418

Star Trek: Discovery was a hit but some fans complained it didn’t seem to fit into existing Star Trek continuity. The producers did make it clear the show is set in the Prime Universe like all of Trek series seen before 2009 and not in the Kelvin Timeline of the films established in the JJ Abrams films. That didn’t explain how Burnham is Spock’s half-sister and the Discovery having a spore drive which hasn’t been seen or even mentioned before. Producer Aaron Harberts told Metro UK that a major part of season two will deal with the differences seen in a show that takes place ten years before the original series happened. Season two will not be a war season and deal with the issue of science vs. faith. It will add to the cast Hell on Wheels’ Anson Mount as U.S.S. Enterprise Captain Christopher Pike.
