Stalin’s mustache was awesome in the series, that is the only positives you will hear from me.

This sounds a bit like a predestination paradox.
How do you mean?
Everything these days is being delayed and pushed back. Haven’t seen any until now with this project. Timing seems ripe for a readjustment of plans.

How do you mean?
It was just a failed attempt at a joke around the concept of inevitability. I was thinking of the DS9 episode where the two guys from Temporal Investigations say that they hate predestination paradoxes.

I bet they would hate that. The interesting thing is the implication that they have been in and gotten out of many or multiple of them. TNG’s “Cause and Effect” did a pretty decent job at showing how, when inside one, it isn’t as though the subjects realize they are in one and can just take deliberate action to correct it.

The producer remarks about wanting to get everything right and that those few months help sound reassuring. Lets hope its not just cover.
Interesting links in this article, re costume design and such. I dont want them to tamper with Romulans, though. Recognizability and easy connection is important to me, even if a fresh detail here and there is surely ok, especially for the new generation of fans they want to create.

That seems to genuinely be the case:
"We’ve delayed our Star Trek [launch] 'til May. For those who think that’s something to be worried about, let me assure you: it’s not. The producers came into my office last week and begged me – they said, ‘We are creating an entire universe; you know how fanatical Star Trek fans are. We’re creating this universe, we need a couple more months to get the effects right, to get the world right. PLEASE let us have until May.’ " While there are some fans who have expressed concerns (and complaints) that this delay means only bad things for DISCOVERY, a great deal of reaction on social media appears to be some unsurprised relief that the show will have some more time to coalesce behind-the-scenes ahead of the public debut.

At least it wasn’t because of some infighting. Sounds like he will still be around.

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY Names First Official Cast Members
By TrekCore Staff - November 29, 2016After a week of hot rumors about the casting for STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, CBS has today officially named the first three names in the new Trek production’s on-screen team.
Noted character actor Doug Jones will be portraying Lieutenant Saru, “a Starfleet science officer, and new alien species to the Star Trek universe.” Jones is well known for his work under prosthetic makeup – a natural for Trek – from such films as Pan’s Labyrinth and the Hellboy series, along with the recent Falling Skies television series.
As previously reported, Michelle Yeoh has in fact beamed aboard of captain of the starship Shenzhou, but her character’s name is Captain Georgiou, not ‘Han Bo’ as rumored in the trades. Yeoh will portray the first on-screen Asian female captain of a Federation vessel.
Finally, Anthony Rapp – one of the original cast members of RENT on Broadway – will take on the role of Lt. Stamets, science officer and astromycologist (“fungus expert”) aboard the Discovery. This casting choice continues Trek’s longstanding tradition of including well-versed stage actors in its ensembles.

Bryan Fuller: “I’m Not Involved” in DISCOVERY ProductionHaha. Saw that to.
I don’t get it.
I just hope the show is good.
-
Haha. Saw that to.
I don’t get it.Yes, it’s difficult to know exactly what’s behind all this, but from what little can be gathered from Bryan Fuller’s statement it sounds like this may have been a case of a “Do you want it fast or do you want it good?” disagreement between CBS and Fuller. The previously-announced decision to give the show launch a four-month extension from January to May may have been meant to address this concern, but it would seem that this wasn’t enough.

True. It seems like his other ventures and perfectionist nature were delaying what he could offer to Star Trek. CBS probably wanted someone who could focus almost entirely on the show.

thx for the updating!
any hints if Romulans also feature? Really, I couldnt care less about Klings (unless humiliated by Roms) :)

No idea; I don’t know any more than what TrekCore has posted so far. Note, however, that some of the casting information released so far might not be for the series as a whole; some of it seems to pertain to the regular crew of the titular ship, but some of the characters and actors might only apply to the pilot episode, or perhaps might only be semi-regulars on the series. I suspect that the Klingons aren’t crew members of Discovery, since as far as I know Worf was established on TNG as the first Klingon ever to serve in Starfleet…and TNG is set a couple of centuries after DIS.

Discovery runs its course, but what I would really love to hear is progress with Axanar. Just read about the latest legal battles, I hope they get over it soon.
-
Not really all that much in the video.
However the write-up states that Discovery takes place 10 yrs before TNG. Which is very odd because I had been operating on pre-TOS for some time and I found out why: http://trekcore.com/blog/2016/08/bryan-fuller-reveals-long-awaited-star-trek-discovery-details/
I linked to this article a few pages back, which appears to officially confirm 10 yrs pre-TOS.
The author of the gamesradar article is a hack. Only conclusion.
