Getting briefed with a gaggle of #StarTrekDiscovery producers about what to say and not to say to the press. Apparently we mustn't say that http://pic.twitter.com/CCjUNYmB2H

Super mild spoilers from the TCA panel ahead
- Is NOT part of the Abramsverse, but treats other Trek shows, incl Enterprise, as canon (hardcore nerds, ign has a great rundown of Discovery's take on canon/non-canon here)
- Bryan Fuller's vision for the reimagined Klingons were that they be "sexy" and the "aesthetes" of the universe. There were "deep discussions" about their biology (nnnn)
- Exec producer Akiva Goldsman says it's "the most serialized" Trek yet, even moreso than DS9
- Utopian Trek is the end game for Star Trek: Discovery, not the reality. Goldsman: "Part of what we tried to do is speak to how those philosophical mindsets came to be. We're trying to find out who we are as a federation and as a coalition of people in the face of adversity."
- Promises to be nuanced in the treatment of the different races - Klingon actress Mary Chieffo says "no-one is the bad guy". Vulcan actor James Frain says "it's been interesting looking at the human world through those eyes. Humans are barbaric and not to be trusted because they start wars and kill people. Vulcans don't do that anymore."
