Anything you want to add on that?We planned the finale from the beginning of the season.
LRell is very mistreated and disrespected and demeaned over the course of the season.
What we didnt get this season was an explanation for why wed never heard of Burnham via Spocks family.

We always knew wed platforming an answer thats coming inseasons.
We started out really loving the idea of having long scenes that were entirely subtitled in Klingon.
Some of those scenes were very effective.
At a certain point, the audience started feeling like they were engaging less with those scenes.
Tylers decision to run off LRell suggests we wont be seeing much of him from now on.
Yet my understanding is Shazad Latif is still part of the show.
What can we expect there?Season 2 will be about a whole bunch of new things.
Theres a brand new energy to season 2.
Season 1 was about the Klingons and the Federation at a time of war.
Season 2 will not be about that.
We want to move on.
Tyler/Voq has had a major evolution over the course of the season, and we love Shazad.
Jason Isaacs, however, is nolonger on the show, and hes off filmingThe OAseason 2.
Now the actor I dont know about is Michelle Yeoh.
Do you have a deal with her for season 2?
At least in the finale, shes the most fun character you have.Mm hmm.
Wouldnt it be great if she came back?
[Silence]
Is that all Im getting from you on that?
Should I stop trying?Yes.
… [Silence]
Is this going to be like your Michelle Yeoh answer?Yes.
So Captain Christopher Pike swoops in with a rather agile USS Enterprise.
The arrival of the Enterprise suggests theyre going to begin to get answers.
Those answers will not come immediately, they will trickle out over the course of the season.
Heres what I can tell you: The show is still calledDiscovery.
The show is not calledEnterprise.
Will the new season be more serialized or less serialized than season 1?Asserialized.
And that was more of a standalone even though it existed in the context of a larger story.
How far are you along toward casting a Captain Pike?
And will we see younger versions of otherTOScharacters on that bridge?
And deliberately so!Very sneaky reporter move, James.
So anything thats been mentioned inTOS, either storyline or character-wise, we have to stay consistent with.
I think there will be some surprises there.
We will maintain consistency with canon, but there will be surprises.
Youjust saidwell be surprised at who is on the Enterprise!
But if we built it like it looked inThe Original Series, there would be a massive visual disconnect.
And that was our goal.
EveryTrekmovie and series has tried to figure out a way to do that, and its very tricky.
You want to pleaseTrekfans and a new audience.
And to our delight, they were embraced.
