Star Trek: Discovery

Star Trek is Boldly Going Once More!

“What I can say is that when Bryan Fuller invented Star Trek: Discovery and conceived it, he found a niche in the chronology that allows for another stream.”- Nicholas Meyer

Any fan of Star Trek can tell you that the acclaimed franchise will never truly die. And this could not be more true than it is today, when after five TV series, one animated series, and 13 movies spanned over the course of 50 years, Star Trek is back once more. Brian Fuller (Creator of Hannibal, American Gods, and Pushing Daisies) is now making Star Trek: Discovery, set in between the prequel TV show Star Trek Enterprise and The Original Series. However, the twist is that Discovery will be set in the timeline of the three most recent Star Trek films. Confusing right? But an interesting take as Fuller explained is that Discovery is a means to “bridge the gap between Enterprise and the original series”. While there is no official release date, Fuller expects Discovery to premiere in late 2017 if not sooner, releasing around 10 episodes per season. Fuller wants to keep the show from dragging on and keep the audiences interested. Fuller says if Discovery released 26 episodes per season like the other series' “it would fatigue the show. Ideally, I would like to do 10 episodes. I think that’s a tighter story."



A few weeks ago, the first official trailer was released, showing the viewers the main cast of characters. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon actress Michelle Yeoh will be playing Captain Georgiou, while Sonequa Martin-Green from The Walking Dead will be playing the first female African-American lead in Star Trek history. The diversity of the cast alone should get people excited for this new series of Star Trek. It seems as though what original creator Gene Roddenberry’s vision, of a truly diverse and dynamic cast, may be fully on its way. While Star Trek has always been a proprietor for civil rights and inclusion, it is these types of huge leaps that make me excited to see this new and exciting series.

“This ship is called the Discovery for a few reasons, not the least of which is Stanley Kubrick’s contribution to the Discovery on 2001: A Space Odyssey, NASA’s vessel the Discovery, and also the sense of discovery.” -Bryan Fuller.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
