Was anyone expecting Discovery S3 before winter? I had thought back half of the year, though that won't please CBS as they're dying to prop up their terrible streaming service.
Lower Decks is an interesting one; I hadn't heard about it, or if I had, I'd forgotten. There's an episode of TNG with the name "Lower Decks" which I assume has the same premise; a bunch of mid-level crewmembers working on a capital ship. It was a good episode IIRC; I think the premise has legs. That was probably always the intention. Ditto for how a "Starfleet Academy" series rattled around for years but never materialised.
Picard S2 is a good sign; let's see how the first one goes. Only a week or so now.
Poop. That is all.

Pretty sure Discovery just sits in the Prime timeline though. It must do, because they've never mentioned the whole Romulan thing (which is kinda unavoidable otherwise) and they've established that Pike's journey will take him to the point where he's mute and in a wheelchair, as he was in the TOS episode in which he appears. The stuff which is inconsistent (the appearance/behaviour of the Klingons, and the general appearance of everything) is just production design; like it's totally visually inconsistent to fit it between Enterprise and TOS but I think they just consciously decided to go in that direction. Personally I'm not the biggest fan of the klingon changes but I love the general look of the show.
