The next season of The Walking Dead is going in a new, less zombie-laden direction. There's drama behind the scenes of the Snowpiercer TV series. The Unbreakable sequel Glass has a poster so cool it's worth mentioning here in the intro. Plus: Quentin Tarantino's Star Trek movie, and the Watchmen TV series. Morning spoilers, ho!
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: Discovery has had more downs than ups, but a couple of standout moments did remind us of the Star Trek universe we know and love. The best (so far) has to be the seventh episode of the series, "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad".
Discovery's foray into time loops wasn't exactly heavy on plot, but it turned out to be a surprisingly heartfelt episode - one that only exists because the series was strapped for cash.
It: Chapter 2 casts another adult incarnation of the original cast. Kevin Feige is just waiting to hear when Marvel can finally use the X-Men and Fantastic Four again. Ram Bergman says it's going to be a while before we hear about Rian Johnson's Star Wars trilogy. Plus, what's to come on Westworld and Wynonna Earp. Spoilers, roll out!
Even though Star Trek: Discovery is a prequel to the original series, it's added quite a few new aliens and creatures to Star Trek's database. The most notable would be Saru (Doug Jones), a Kelpian with serious fear instincts and a strut like a gazelle supermodel. However, the original plan for Saru's look didn't include a butt-like nose and a lunchmeat-tinted face. It was more akin to something out of Pan's Labyrinth.
Last year, Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan director Nicholas Meyer perked the Spock ears of fans everywhere when he hinted that he was working on a new Star Trek project. Now, the Tribble's out of the bag. Meyer has shared news about this top-secret project, mostly because he's not sure if it will happen anymore.
Star Trek: Discovery's first season ended with the mother of all cliffhangers: the titular ship coming face to face with one of the living legends that is the USS Enterprise. Which means, now that season two of the show has entered production, we can get a teasing look at how the show will translate '60s sci-fi goodness into Discovery's modern visuals.
The new Terminator film has found its latest killer robot. Zachary Quinto has hopes for at least one more Star Trek film in the Kelvin timeline. A fallen Legend could make their return in Legends of Tomorrow's future. Plus, hilariously cryptic teases for Westworld's return, and what's to come on The Flash. Spoilers, assemble!
Though he might not be appearing in quite the way you might hope.
The finale of Star Trek: Discovery gave us a short glimpse at the most legendary ship in the entire Starfleet: the Enterprise, ten years before the original Star Trek television show. Befitting the different visual style of Discovery, the ship looks a little different than we remembered, but that apparently wasn't just for creative reasons.
Honestly, considering the... staffing changes the good ship Discovery went through over the course of the first season, the crew could do with all the hands they could get. But Notaro will be serving the Federation elsewhere in season two.
The first big piece of Star Trek: Discovery season two info is here in the form of a classic Trek character. Anson Mount, who recently played Black Bolt on Marvel's Inhumans, has been cast as Captain Christopher Pike for the show.

Jed Whedon teases how Infinity War opens up a new world for Agents of SHIELD. Plus, get a look at Riverdale's musical episode, and Mark Hamill wants to be a spooky force ghost. Spoilers!
Oh no, Star Trek. Oh no.
One of the most noted, and most controversial, changes of Star Trek: Discovery was its shift away from the series' traditional monster/science-problem/God-starship of the week setup to a storytelling structure that, if not as tightly plotted as many prestige shows, was still pretty strongly serialised.
The first season of Star Trek: Discovery, whether you loved it or hated it, added new imagery to the visual language of the series: a new ship, new uniforms, and even new glimpses of old favourites.
In Its First Season, Star Trek: Discovery Asked Hard Questions It Never Really Wanted The Answers To
Going into Star Trek: Discovery, fans were told to expect something new. It would be dark. It would be modern. It would push the boundaries of where Star Trek had boldly gone before. Now that we're at the end of Discovery's first season, we know it did take a few steps in those directions - but every time it did, it retreated back the minute things got too uncomfortable.
