Star Trek Day: 'Discovery' Season 3 Trailer
-------------------------------------------
The full trailer for Season 3 of "Star Trek: Discovery"
debuted on Tuesday, along with a brand new title treatment
that suggests a fresh direction for the CBS All Access
series. The trailer, introduced by star Sonequa
Martin-Green, launched the start of Star Trek Day, with
"Discovery" co-showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Michelle
Paradise, and new costar David Ajala ("Supergirl") who
plays Cleveland "Book" Booker, participated in a panel on
Season 3 of the show.

At the end of Season 2, the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery,
led by Commander Michael Burnham (Martin-Green), jumped 930
years into the future to the year 3188 to prevent the total
destruction of the Federation. As the new trailer reveals,
however, Burnham and the Discovery crew learn the Federation
is a shadow of its former self, ravaged by something Book
ominously calls "the burn," when "the galaxy took a hard
left."
In the panel, Kurtzman said the burn is a "cataclysmic"
external event that hits the Federation when its at its
strongest, and Paradise said that the first episodes unfold
as a mystery, as Burnham and the Discovery crew try to figure
out what happened to the Federation. When they do, Paradise
said, "we'll find that it's still in existence, [but] much
diminished from what it once was."
The trailer makes clear that Burnham meets Book while she's
initially separated from the Discovery crew after their jump
into the future. The crew, led by Command Saru (Doug Jones),
is also marooned after their starship crash lands on a
seemingly barren planet. The trailer also features Anthony
Rapp (as Lt. Commander Paul Stamets), Mary Wiseman (as Ensign
Sylvia Tilly), Wilson Cruz (as Dr. Hugh Culber) and Michelle
Yeoh (as Philippa Georgiou), as well as new actors Blu del
Barrio (Adira) and Ian Alexander (Gray), who are playing
respectively the first recurring gender non-binary and trans
characters in "Star Trek" history.
The show also unveiled a new title treatment that jettisons
the angular typeface of the show's first logo, and making
"Discovery" much larger than "Star Trek," which returns to the
classic look from the original series. Kurtzman said in the
panel that the original logo used a "variant" look that was
meant to evoke the war with the Klingon Empire, which the
series has moved well beyond for Season 3. (It's also worth
nothing that Season 3 marks the first season of "Discovery"
after the CBSViacom merger.)
The new logo can be seen in the "Discovery" Season 3 poster
below.
