And then not a single fucking word about Discovery. No news about the new season despite the writers strike preventing the cast from promoting the show. No shots. No celebration. No fucking nothing.

I’ll give them a mild defense here - they did discuss Discovery, albeit briefly:

“We have finished it. It will be airing early next year. It’s an incredibly satisfying ending to a show that is so near and dear to my heart. Sonequa Martin-Green gave the performance of her life. I think you guys are going to love it.”

It’s very likely that they planned this panel to be non-WGA in the event that the writers’ strike hadn’t ended by the time of the convention, which would explain why the only panelist of note, besides Kurtzman himself, was Mike McMahan.

Yeah, that’s frustrating. I hope they step up and promote the last season like they’ve said they will. I feel like their publicity efforts have really been all over the map.

Edit:

Case in point, like what the heck is this whole Kid Cudi brand collab stuff? I’ve seen several teaser sort of things about it, and I have no idea what it is or who it’s supposed to be for. This suggests to me that it’s aimed at younger audiences, but is Kid Cudi even relevant to them? Dude’s my age, and I’m only really familiar with him from his time on Comedy Bang! Bang!

I will add to that a Star Trek day without any Discovery celebration.
