It's official, Captain Pike gets his own series.

Quote

CBS All Access today announced a series order for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, based on the years Captain Christopher Pike manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise. The series will feature fan favorites from season two of Star Trek: Discovery, Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Number One and Ethan Peck as Science Officer Spock. The series will follow Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock and Number One in the decade before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy.

I particularly liked the getting back to the inspiration and hope message as opposed to the dreary war-torn federation Discovery displayed. I have a feeling Season 3 will continue that theme. Which is okay, but it'll be nice to have some inspirational trek again.

Hopefully, but being Pike's journey takes place at the same time as the dreary war-torn federation they'll probably still touch/reference it.  I doubt they will start the series before any of that.

True, but TOS only took place about ~10 years after as well, and while the Klingon incidents/war was certainly a topic, it wasn't the front runner. I expect we'll hear of it occasionally, and run into rifts with the Klingons, but I don't think it'll be front and center.

I don't know, I think discovery season 3 will have more hope going into it.   We'll see though.

Well, I figure this will pick it shortly after the end of discovery s2 so after a quick little fixup for the enterprise they will probably go back to their deep space exploring.  There should be more of that traditional episodic feel but with a more focused overarching plot in the background to touch up on from time to time.     

 

I've seen some posts on twitter about CBS milking it with spin-offs, I guess those people forgot how a large group wanted this show to happen.   If anything this is CBS giving the fans what they wanted, now to just see how it plays out.

This is the show fans have wanted since the last episode of enterprise in 2004. Glad to see it's finally happening. CBS might be milking it, but now we're getting a series with the Enterprise again. That and Picard make for a well rounded Star Trek experience imo. Discovery has been nice, don't get me wrong, but really looking forward to Season 2 of Picard and SNW now.

I know they probably won't, but I really hope they ditch the new Klingon design.

I've just accepted it as modern make up. If it was the first time they changed the Klingons in 50 years, I'd think different, but it hasn't. Once they added the hair back in, I'm okay with them.

Not quite 50, but it has been about 35 years since they changed them from smooth to ridged heads.  Maybe if they tone down the size of the false teeth so everyone doesn't have so much trouble talking with them, it'll make them better.

1979. Star Trek 1 featured the ridges. But yeah, the teeth could be adjusted, I do kind of feel like it makes them sound more alien, feral, wild though.

The make up from 1979 to the first TNG episode was again altered for Worf. Who in himself received numerous tweaks up to his DS9-Nemisis role. The TNG to DS9 change was especially noticeable.

I think we'll see a slow change in their design, minor tweaks over time.  I mean Discovery season 3 isn't the last, pretty sure they already greenlit season 4 right?  So I figure we're in for a steady progression of changes with them as the shows go on.  As far as this show goes, we could be in for totally new stuff we haven't seen, which would be more like the original and TNG, something I think most fans want instead of just relying heavily on established trek races like the klingons and Romulans.

Really excited for this and I was one of those who signed the petition to get CBS to order it to series 😛  

 

I already said on Twitter that I hope this show is about exploration and not another excuse to be "woke" or having what I am supposed to accept as socially correct shoved into my face (like Discovery definitely is).

This could be the ST series people have wanted since the day before Discovery aired. The acting and portrayal of Pike by Anson Mount was the highlight of Discovery for me. Please make it episodic though and not a season drag.

It sounds like it'll be formatted like season 4 of enterprise was, where you have one off episodes and then a 2-3 episode story arc. Definitely not a whole season story line though.

I must either be blind or not intentionally looking for triggers to set me off.

 

I have watched both seasons and have saw nothing shoved into my face whatsoever, outside of the awkward scene with Stamets, Tilly, Culber and Phlliepa about how they're gay and not into a threeway. One scene, out of the entire series.

Let's get Discovery Season 3 going then, the Section 31 series, I keep thinking and hoping Star Trek would leap forward and not keep going backward in time. I'll have to see this new series to pass judgment on it.

 

But I'm not really a fan of prequel's, even though Discovery is, but won't be in season 3.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each.

    • What should AI detector tools show before users copy or export a report?

      Thank you for the post. Just a FYI that links to an outside site or promoting specific software is considered spamming here. Asking general questions is fine.

    • What should AI detector tools show before users copy or export a report?

      By sumytbe · Posted

      I have been thinking about AI detector tools as a software workflow rather than a single "AI score" widget. When someone pastes text or uploads a document, the UI can return a report with a probability-style score, sentence highlights, reliability notes, and limitations. The useful part is that it can point a reviewer toward passages worth reading again. The risky part is that a polished score can look more certain than it really is. For people who build or review web apps, what should happen before the user copies or exports that kind of report? The minimum I would expect is: A clear input boundary for pasted text versus document files. Limits shown near the workflow, including minimum text length and maximum file size. A report label that says the result is a signal, not proof of who wrote the text. Sentence highlights and evidence notes alongside the global score. Reliability notes when the sample is too short or lacks enough sentence variety. False-positive and false-negative caveats that remain visible in copied/exported summaries. I am trying to avoid the pattern where a clean report card becomes the whole product story. For AI detection, "review this evidence in context" seems more honest than "trust this score." Would you keep the warning text visible on every report, or make it collapsible so the main result stays easier to scan? Disclosure: I work on a small AI detector/reporting workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about software and report design, not promoting a site.
