It seems that the production team at Star Trek: Discovery has been so devoted to making the new show as remarkable as possible that they simply couldn’t keep to a timetable.
If they were going to kickstart the Star Trek universe back on the small screen, they were going to do it the right way, even if that meant flying somebody in from Switzerland to look at fabric.
Kudos to CBS for giving the folks behind the scenes the resources and schedule that will allow them to produce something truly remarkable.
We haven’t gotten to see any episodes yet, so we can’t say for sure how Aaron Harberts’ vision for Discovery will look on the small screen, but the trailer (which you can check out here) is pretty amazing.
