While fans may be bothered by what they perceive as Star Trek: Discovery playing fast and loose with Star Trek canon, one the series showrunners has made it clear that the show will start bringing the series in line with established continuity beginning with its second season. Some of the major sticking points for fans have been the experimental spore drive that powers the USS Discovery and the existence of Spock’s previously unmentioned adopted sister, Michael Burnham. Showrunner Aaron Harberts says that, as the show comes closer to when Star Trek: The Original Series took place in the timeline, events will begin to form a clearer picture.
