The #StarTrekSDCC panel is about to start. Follow this thread for all of the live updates. #SDCC @Comic_Con
Here we go! @SonequaMG, @Alex_Kurtzman, @hkadin, @michelleparadis, and @iamDavidAjala take the stage with moderator @geoffboucher.
@Alex_Kurtzman says we're going almost 1,000 years into the future in Season 3.
"Every conversation about how we create Star Trek is filtered through Roddenberry's vision." - @Alex_Kurtzman on shaking things up while staying true to canon.
@iamDavidAjala will be playing a character named Book. "Book is going to be a character that is going to break the rules a little bit." - @iamDavidAjala
@SonequaMG just confirmed that they didn't land on Terralysium as planned.
"We try to make every episode a mini-movie." - @michelleparadis on creating each episode of #StarTrekDiscovery
A new trailer for Star Trek #ShortTreks just played to huge applause. @ansonmount, @ethangpeck, and @RebeccaRomijn are back!
There will be 6 new #ShortTreks. 2 of them will be animated, 3 will have the Enterprise crew, and 1 will be a teaser for #StarTrekPicard.
@ethangpeck and @RebeccaRomijn just took the stage!
"It's pinch me moment after pinch me moment." - @RebeccaRomijn on being part of #StarTrek
@Alex_Kurtzman asks the crowd if Pike, Spock, and Number one should get their own show to loud cheers from the audience. He responds, "We'll think about it."
"Star Trek has always been a show about a bridge crew family." @Alex_Kurtzman talks about expanding the stories of the crew in the new season.
#StarTrekDiscovery and Star Trek: #ShortTreks is over. Up next, #StarTrekLowerDecks. @MrJerryOC takes the stage to moderate.
@MikeMcMahanTM, @TrondyNewman, and @JackQuaid92 join @MrJerryOC, @Alex_Kurtzman, and @hkadin for #StarTrekLowerDecks.
"Lower Decks is a half hour show that focuses on 4 ensigns that serve on a not important ship in Starfleet." @MikeMcMahanTM on #StarTrekLowerDecks
"It takes place right after Nemesis. Voyager is back." @MikeMcMahanTM on when in the Star Trek timeline the show takes place.
@TrondyNewman will be playing Mariner, a no nonsense ensign who gets the job done. @JackQuaid92 will be playing Boimler, the by the book ensign who constantly gets in his own way. He'd nail the written portion of the driving test, but once he got in the car it'd be a disaster.
@RealTomHankz will be playing Tendi, a huge Starfleet fan who is excited to be on a ship. @eugcordero will play ensign Rutherford, the engineer. He's amazing at engineering stuff, but doesn't usually solve the problem by the end of the episode.
"Animation is having an incredible renaissance right now." @Alex_Kurtzman on their decision to bring Star Trek back into an animated world.
@MikeMcMahanTM was inspired by the smaller stories on Star Trek that are more focused on personal interactions between the crew members.
"I want to do a show about people that bring the yellow cartridge to the replicator so a banana comes out." - @Alex_Kurtzman recalls @MikeMcMahanTM's pitch for #StarTrekLowerDecks
The bridge crew on #StarTrekLowerDecks will be played by @MrJerryOC, @dawnn_lewis, Fred Tatasciore, and Gillian Vigman.
@MikeMcMahanTM says the ship will be a new class call the California class that operates a support ship. The #StarTrekLowerDecks ship will be called the U.S.S. Cerritos. #StarTrekSDCC
@Alex_Kurtzman just announced a new Star Trek podcast! @TrondyNewman from #StarTrekLowerDecks will be the host. #StarTrekSDCC
Joining moderator @DeadlineDominic is the #StarTrekPicard cast: @SirPatStew, @SantiagoC, @ItsMichelleHurd, @TheIsaBriones, Evan Evagora, Alison Pill, and Harry Treadaway, and producer Michael Chabon.
@SirPatStew had said no several times to returning, but after seeing what was planned for the series he felt that he needed to be part of it. #StarTrekSDCC
"The great thing about taking this part of Patrick's story forward... it's an extraordinary opportunity to see the most unknown part of his journey." - producer Kirsten Beyer #StarTrekSDCC
