Star Trek: Discovery Tidbits

Bryan Fuller has released a few details of the new Star Trek series in a recent interview. Fuller will write the first episode with help from Alex Kurtzman and run the show alongside Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts. Nicholas Meyer, Jesse Alexander, and Kemp Powers will all write for the show. Meyer will write the second episode. Fuller also revealed the main character's nickname is Number One. I'm taking this as a sign that she's the ship's first officer.

UPDATE: Apparently the lead will be referred to exclusively as Number One until we learn her name in an episode.

The movie does not currently have a release date or cast (I think Maisie Williams is just a rumor).

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Marvel has brought on Community producer Dan Harmon to write some extra scenes for the Doctor Strange movie.
