Alex Kurtzman, co-writer and producer of 2009's "Star Trek" and sequel "Star Trek Into Darkness," will executive produce the series alongside Heather Kadin, with whom Kurtzman executive produces on CBS dramas "Scorpion" and "Limitless." The updated series will introduce new characters "seeking imaginative new worlds and new civilizations, while exploring the dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966," reads the press release.
Yet Tilly is coming back for Star Trek Academy (Yikes).
Not sure if this has any strenght but there used to be a Wiseman that worked on older Trek (can't remember which) as a producer; maybe they are related and thats why she landed the part.
Don't get me wrong. I like Tilly. I am just not fond of the watery eyes syndrome.
Paul Stamets the engineer Dr. Hugh Culber are the same. But I do really enjoy Tig Notaro as Jett Reno. She has my vote.

I would have preferred more seasons, but I'm satisfied with how they ended things. I hope there'll be more sci-fi shows as good as this one! :)
I for one am glad it ended. It had great special effects, but the show blew chunks.
Every time Tilly or Michael Burnham got even the slightest bit emotional they looked like they were ready to cry. A mannequin could have played Adira better. She had the emotional range of a toaster.
The series was all over the place.
Tilly was the worst. Clearly an equalities actor tick box. Burnham with her hushed voice some one you want to just punch in the face to stop her gazing full frontal at you. The last season was not that good, had run out of ideas worth the bother. Both actors I would pop their heads if I had that Sup skill. In fact come to think of it include Adira in that also and the doctor and Frapp. ( I wonder if Frapp is taking out a lawsuite against the doctor with all the kissing as he did with Kevin Spacey - and lost)

poor old Discovery waiting on its own in space for what? will we be told?
It's a callback (or setup, depending on how you look at it) to s1ep2 of Star Trek-Short Treks from 2018 https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Calypso_(episode) , though it still doesn't fully explain things. It's possible that it would have been needed/necessary due to some (far) future event in a future season (had the show not been cancelled) connected to the Temporal Wars (which would possibly connect to the revealed identity of a certain someone in the finale).

But the whole season was pointless.
Chasing tech that was the power to create life, and even re-animate life.
Hello: Genesis device, thousands of years before relative to discovery.
And where did the ability to seed life suddenly become assumed to be all this other powerful and balance-of-power shifting happen? Since when is cloning and gene tech suddenly something that will make the Breen all-powerful?
Just the 5th season of "WTF t.v." that was Discovery.

Well, that was anticlimactic. The whole final episode felt pointless & went literally nowhere we hadn't already gone.
Lots of "mystery" with no substance; at least half a dozen scenes composed exclusively of cloying sentiment & trite attempts at profound statements.
This episode was way too sappy, utterly predictable, & just didn't reveal or do anything one could actually build on. It just goes nowhere.
These folk should have taken another look at the last episode of TNG, or for that matter any other Trek show, because every single one had a better ending than this.
