Rumours, news and general speculation

Agreed, but we've been over that ad nauseum. The Phase II/Discovery ship, OTOH, is just an abortive attempt at some piece of tangential Trek history.

It's funny about the NX class. The design could easily be tweaked on a few things such as either removing that square shaped thing on the top of the saucer or extending it all the way forward to create maybe enlargement area for the deflector dish to be a bit bigger height wise. As well a total removal of that pod in the back. Or make the pod bigger and place the deflector there instead.

Small changes such as showing raised emitters for the plolarized hull plating. That it would be a physical weaknee for the design. It can be targeted and disabled for example.

Some logic to the design even if they wanted to keep the overall Akira design look. But nope they got lazy about it.

This design however is just ugly. I thin getting rid of the triangle part of it might fix it slightly.

I don't know...weren't there any existing models from that time period they could have used?

I am highly sceptical of the whole thing to be honest.

Same here. I'm not going to say I hate it in advance or anything, but I literally can't think of a single thing I've heard about this show that makes me go "Oh wow, that sounds great!"

Everything I've heard is either negative or "oh, okay then" stuff. Maybe a couple of very mildly positive things.

To answer the question you posed... yes, apparently. Despite the fact that we all perfectly predicted the pitfalls inherent to ENT - and the show fell into every single one - the powers that be seem to want to just do it again, and to make it worse by including a known character (or at least a known character lineage.)

Do tell, seems I am not up to date...

Bryan Fuller has left the showrunner position.

New breaking developments on the behind-the-scenes staffing at STAR TREK: DISCOVERY have been revealed today by Variety, which reports that executive producer and up-until-now showrunner Bryan Fuller will be taking on a reduced role in the upcoming Trek television revival.

Fuller, who is currently hard at work running the production of his adaption of American Gods, will stay on as executive producer and will “still be involved in breaking stories,” per Variety, but will no longer be showrunner on DISCOVERY, instead handing over that position to producers Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts in a dual role. Each have been long-associated with DISCOVERY, and with previous Fuller-helmed projects.

Per Variety, some of this leadership flux is connected to the recent rescheduling of the series debut – from January to May 2017 – announced in September, which was deemed necessary due to an additional need for post-production, as well as a need for more time to cast the show’s lead roles:

Hmmm. Starting to think there's trouble on that show.

[Teaos]

Why not get Manny Coto snd at least try to redeam the show.

[Atekimogus]

I am not an expert...but it is supposed to air on May 2017 now and they still need to cast the lead roles?

Aren't they cutting it a bit close?

[Graham Kennedy]

Apparently they're due to start filming in under a month. Yet still not a single actor cast, that we know of.

Who wants to bet that there will be another delay?

[Teaos]

Should we be hoping for overall failure? Or is bad trek better than no trek?

[Graham Kennedy]

So I've been negative a fair bit. I wanna be positive. What could you hear about Discovery that would be a "Oh, cool!" moment for you?

For me. I really, really wish they would flesh out Starfleet by showing some of the Franz Joseph designs. Imagine a fleet scene like in The Ultimate Computer, but with a Federation class Dreadnought, a Constitution, and a pair of Saladin class Destroyers. That would be sooooo awesome!
