The person behind the lies is Alex Kurtzman. He was the head writer on Star Trek Into Darkness and is the "showrunner" on STD and has written and directed a number of episodes. I think he's like Slick Willie in that you can pretty much tell he's lying whenever he lips are moving.
His biggest lie was claiming Discovery would be 'strictly following canon' when that OBVIOUSLY isn't the case since the FIRST episode of the show aired and had them using holographic communication on a routine basis, roughly 110 years before it was introduced as a brand new, experimental technology in DS9.
His latest claim is that the upcoming Picard series with Patrick Stewart will be "nothing like Discovery" and that the show picks up in the prime timeline with Jean Luc Picard, 25 years after we last saw him.
So I take that to mean the show will be EXACTLY like Discovery and it will basically be Picard in the Discovery universe (Klingorcs, f-bombs, everything is dark with a weird bluish hue, Geordi La Forge married to another man so they can do a shoutout to the LGBTQWHATEVERINITALSTHEYADDEDTHISWEEK community, etc.) I bet his version on Picard is a huge admirer of "legendary 23rd century Starfleet officer Michael Burnham"
Also he claims there won't be any TNG cast members on the new show besides Picard, so there's one right up there with "Cumberbatch isn't Khan" and "you won't see Spock on Discovery"
Alex wuz right. Cucumberbitch wasn’t Khan. Ricardo Montalban was Khan.
Here’s what you’ve been missing on Discovery
Cyborg chick got a backstory (shuttle accident, now she stores memories like a computer with limited space) and was then killed off.
Mirror Yeoh made a comment to Faggy and Wilson Cruz they were pansexual in her universe and had a lot of fun together, she called Cruz “Papi”. “Did you just call me Papi”? Anyway they said “We’re gay” and I think that’s the first and only time they actually used the word.
The villain of the season is a skynet ripoff that might be a nonsensical borg origin story (more likely just a hybrid skynet/borg ripoff)
But wait for it, Klingon time crystals.
I repeat Klingon time crystals. Apparently those are a thing that people have heard of, the Klingons keep them in some BS time monastery where a baby sent there is grown up in a few weeks and trees grow instantly and they totally don’t use them for weapons. One of them powered Michael’s mom’s magic section 31 time travel suit (yes) but that one got broken or something so Pike went to the monastery to get another one. The present became the future of the past or some nonsense and the crystal showed him his radioactive future (which looked easily avoidable). The albino “Klingon” monk (this the son of the Klingon who became transhuman and the female Klingon Chancellor) who used to be a baby tells Pike he can avoid that future if he leaves without the crystal but it will be locked in if he takes it (whut?). A teary eyed Pike talks about sacrifice and takes the crystal, the Klingon says “I Honor you”.
But turns out they don’t have enough time to figure out how to do something time travely with the time crystal before the 30 or so (not 31?) Section 31 ships that have been taken over by the skynetborg gang up on them and steals the “data about the universe” that Discovery uploaded from a dying Giant “Sphere” alien that skynetborg will use to destory ALL SENTIENT LIFE (this phrases is used 6 or 7 times) in the future so they decide to blow up the ship to destroy the undeletable data. Dun dun dun.
Dumb as it is I was enjoying it but they kinda lost me with Klingon Time Crystals. It’s still worth the price to watch, free, cause I’m pirating it. But...........Klingon time crystals.
There was actually episode about “Saru”’s people that was kinda good Star Trek.
