Discovery News: Changes in the Writers Room as Fuller Steps Down as Showrunner

Earlier this year Bryan Fuller promised us news for Star Trek Discovery, but this was not the news we expected! Broken by Variety last night, we've learned that Fuller is stepping back from his role as showrunner in a decision made last week. After last months announcement that Discovery's launch would be delayed until May, it looks like Fuller's production schedule with other shows, which includes Starz American Gods, is the primary reason he's had to step aside. "We are extremely happy with the creative direction of ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ and the strong foundation that Bryan Fuller has helped us create for the series," said CBS Television Studios in a statement. "Due to Bryan’s other projects, he is no longer able to oversee the day-to-day of ‘Star Trek,’ but he remains an executive producer, and will continue to map out […]

Agents of Yesterday

As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations, Star Trek Online released their latest expansion, Agents of Yesterday; the tale of a 23rd century officer making their way to captain as they get caught up in a time travel adventure as part of the temporal cold war. I'll admit, I wasn't thrilled by the concept at first, especially knowing that Enterprise's Agent Daniels would return to hold the player hand through the missions, but I have to hold my hands up and say; Thank you Cryptic for reviving the 23rd century origins of Trek in a wonderful way. Throwing you right back into the original series, recreating scenes and importing dialogue from various episodes including Journey to Babel, there's been a huge effort to bring the details of the original series to life, with a wonderful colourful environment that brings the […]
