‘Star Trek: Discovery’ panel provides insight on CBS’ new series

So, assuming the world of Discovery is awesome, we should have even more Trek to enjoy. But for many users, the gold standard of natural language interfaces is the fictional Library Computer Access and Retrieval System (LCARS) that appeared in numerous Star Trek TV series and movies.

For all of the show’s focus on teleporters and holodecks and deflector shields, the one thing that everyone seemed to agree on is that the show transcends fiction.

Kalodner and her team worked with ReedPOP to create the three-day event, and ReedPOP’s director Brian Stephenson anticipated anywhere from 15,000 to 30,000 Star Trek fans to take part in the convention. “Star Trek” alum Nicholas Meyer will be a consulting producer, while “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry’s son Rod will be an executive producer.

NY was chosen as the venue for the convention as it was where the first-ever Star Trek convention was held in 1972. That 10-year pre-Kirk thing seemed flawless. And yet, she may make a posthumous return in the new TV series, Star Trek: Discovery.

The other big news to emerge from the panel came from Fuller, who said that the new show will not be from the captain’s perspective.

For those fans of Kirsten Beyer’s Star Trek: Voyager novels, the good news is that she will continue to write them as well as writing for Discovery. IDW Publishing will also introduce relevant comic books – penned by Beyer and Mike Johnson.
