So they are going to attempt to salvage this show by bringing it more in line with the exploration theme, and adding TOS colored uniforms with non-split uniform badges.
Keeping the USS Enterprise around for a few episodes might just get the show back on its feet. The teaser usess a bit of voice-over from Burman, but also TOS (1960s era) Captain Pike and Mr. Spock.

Star Trek: Discovery Has Suddenly Changed Showrunners Again:
"If you had hopes that it would be smooth sailing ahead for Star Trek: Discovery as the show heads into its second season—well, it seems the waters are still a bit rough. Showrunners Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts are out, and executive producer Alex Kurtzman will step in. Kurtzman will also run the show’s writers’ room." Star Trek fans will recall, of course, that Berg and Harberts got the job when original showrunner Bryan Fuller left the project in October 2016, well before the show aired its first episode. According to The Hollywood Reporter, which broke the news, this latest change-up is “based not on the creative but instead for leadership and operational issues.” So, what does “leadership and operational issues” mean, exactly? THR cites an unnamed source who reports that “Berg and Harberts became increasingly abusive to the Discovery writing staff, with the latter said to have leaned across the writers’ room table while shouting an expletive at a member of the show’s staff... After hearing rumors of HR complaints, Harberts is said to have threatened the staff to keep concerns with the production an internal matter.”" See: https://io9.gizmodo.com/star-trek-di...s-a-1826848946 |

CBS All Access Is Laying the Groundwork for
Non-Stop Star Trek: "CBS’s plans for the Star Trek franchise do not start and end with Discovery. In addition to the Captain Picard series that was announced over the weekend, CBS executives have confirmed there are other potential Star Trek shows being considered for CBS All Access. The plan looks to be all Star Trek, all the time. “My goal is that there should be a Star Trek something on all the time on All Access,” CBS TV Studios president David Stapf told Deadline." "There are no details about what form those shows could take, but it sounds like a hell of a lot of options are on the table. For example, according to McNamara, nearly every Discovery character has been considered for his or her own show, including a series about Michelle Yeoh’s Emperor Georgiou. However, Stapf did insist that episodes in the Short Treks series, which will feature characters like Tilly, Harry Mudd, and Saru, are not test pilots for potential spinoffs."

Well Patrick Steward is old enough to play Picard in a post-Nemesis Star Trek now. He's 78 and Picard would have been 74 in that last film. So it might be around the time he leaves USS Enterprise, and goes on to other things (in the comics he became an ambassador to Vulcan, or something like that in the lead up to Romulus being destroyed only eight years after Nemesis.

Star Trek: Discovery spinoff to star Michelle Yeoh in black-ops role:
"What the heck is going on with Section 31? We can finally look forward to some answers. Captain Philippa Georgiou's Star Trek story will continue in a new live-action series under development for streaming service CBS All Access. (Disclosure: CBS is CNET's parent company.) Michelle Yeoh will take the lead in a Star Trek: Discovery spinoff that delves into the secretive realm of Starfleet's Section 31." See: https://www.cnet.com/news/star-trek-...lack-ops-role/ |

Star Trek: Discovery and the streaming kerfluffle. Another boost for piracy, I guess:
Star Trek: Discovery Is Tearing the Streaming World Apart "Netflix had lost the rights to the fourth season of Discovery outside of the US, and the previous seasons too. They would now appear on Paramount+, the streaming service formerly known as CBS All Access and owned by ViacomCBS—but not until 2022, and even then, not everywhere. (In the US, Star Trek: Discovery has always streamed exclusively on Paramount+/CBS All Access.) And Star Trek is just the beginning. What’s bad news for Discovery fans now is yet another glimpse of the increasingly muddled future of streaming." See: https://www.wired.com/story/star-tre...son-4-netflix/ |

More on the new Star Trek shows in the works:
"In addition to its recent reveal of the full spring schedule for all things Enterprise at Paramount+, the platform has reportedly given liftoff to a new Trek-themed series that follows cadet-in-training life at Starfleet Academy. Citing sources close to the franchise, Deadline reports that Paramount+ is indeed moving forward with plans for a new series titled Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, whose name harkens to Interplay’s 1997 Star Trek: Starfleet Academy video game. That report indicates that the project is planned for a followup debut as the next major Star Trek spinoff after Section 31, featuring Michelle Yeoh as Star Trek: Discovery’s Philippa Georgiou, finally gets off the ground."
