Today, Star Trek: Discovery co-executive producer again took his time waiting for a plane to answer some questions from fans on Twitter. We have pulled out some of the highlights below.

Fuller wanted to go mirror sooner

Discovery introduced a Mirror Universe arc in episode 10. Sullivan reveals that this idea wasn’t added after co-creator and original show-runner Bryan Fuller left the show and in fact, Fuller wanted to do it earlier.

Bryan Fuller always planned to go to Mirror in S1. When he left, we adjusted to make it happen later in the season because we wanted to live with the characters more — Ted Sullivan (@karterhol) January 27, 2018

Where is Prime universe Lorca?

Last weekend’s episode revealed that the Lorca we know was always from the Mirror Universe, and Sullivan hints that the fate of the prime universe’s Lorca will be addressed on the show.

It seems like a million years ago, but yes – literally every avenue has been discussed/explored — Ted Sullivan (@karterhol) January 27, 2018

How Lorca got those scars

In the episode “Lethe” some scars were revealed on Lorca’s back, which are now revealed to be related to the hard life in the Terran Empire.

True…BUT… How about HAND AGONIZERS (which are pressed directly to the flesh)??? Plus… that straight scar looked A LOT like he was stabbed in the back by a dagger. You know… kinda like the one @SamVartholomeos tried to use on @SonequaMG in that elevator fight? — Ted Sullivan (@karterhol) January 27, 2018

New relationships for Season 2

Discovery embraced Star Trek’s diversity by featuring a same sex couple and Sullivan says the writers are open to more inclusiveness on the show for the next season.

Everything is on the table. The @StarTrekRoom is intent on going where no Star Trek has gone before — Ted Sullivan (@karterhol) January 27, 2018

We’ll see more of engineering in Season 2

Much of season one has featured a set where Lt. Stamets controls the Spore drive, which also includes a glimpse into the warp drive. However, this is apparently not the main engineering section of the USS Discovery. The writer indicates we could see more of engineering and possibly the chief of engineering in the future.

Stamets is NOT The CoE. I wonder who he or she is…? — Ted Sullivan (@karterhol) January 27, 2018

Also follow up – that’s an engineering lab. It’s not main engineering. We’ll definitely see more of engineering in S2. What we’ve seen is his personal work space — Ted Sullivan (@karterhol) January 27, 2018

Episode 13 of Star Trek: Discovery will be available on CBS All Access on Sunday, January 28th by 8:30 pm ET. It will air in Canada on the Space Channel at 8:00 pm ET the same day and be available on Netflix outside the USA and Canada on Monday, January 29th at 8 am GMT.
