I dig the sleek look of the <em>Discovery<\/em> and the title seems to imply that the show will be exploring new territory in the <em>Trek<\/em> universe. Showrunner Bryan Fuller has confirmed that the show will be set in the original <em>Trek<\/em> universe rather than the rebooted universe of the recent movies, which appeals to the purist in me.
