At New York Comic-Con, we met Discovery’s younger, bearded take on Star Trek’s most iconic Vulcan, Spock.
And now, after all the teasing and waiting, not only do we get to learn more about what he’s up to, we get to see him reunite with his sister… and things aren’t going to well for either the universe or Spock and Burnham, it seems.
This trailer gives us a little more exploration of what seems to be the big new threat of season 2—the signals appearing across the galaxy that have not only heralded the arrival of a mysterious creature known as the Red Angel, but sent Spock away from his station aboard the Enterprise and on a dangerous quest, leaving Burnham to go on… well, a search.
For Spock. Look, I’m just gonna keep making that joke.
It turns out that the Red Angel heralded a dire portent for Spock—the destruction of all sentient life, which is never really a good thing to have to deal with. But as well as helping both the Discovery and the Enterprise save the day, it also seems like he’s going to be having to deal with a rather uneasy relationship with his adoptive sister.
A Vulcan and a Human raised like a Vulcan having a fraught relationship because they keep their emotions hidden until they bubbled up to the surface and exploded, you say? Well, who could’ve seen that coming.
Poor Michael. She’s gonna have to deal with sibling drama and save the day all over again when Star Trek: Discovery returns to CBS All Access in the US, and Netflix internationally, in January 2019.
