During Doctor Who's San Diego Comic-Con panel in Hall H, it was confirmed that Sethu's character will be called Belinda Chandra.

The character's name is all that has been revealed thus far, but that hasn't stopped fans already wondering whether Belinda's surname could link her to fan-favourite Sarah Jane Adventures character, Rani Chandra.

Emony Dax got handsy with Bones in the 2240s, and Audrid died in 2284.

In SNW's 2259ish setting, it should be one of those two.

I found it unexpectedly upsetting when the shelving was taking hits from the Breen.

It was a pretty big red flag when they announced that every episode this season would be 1701 minutes long...

Over 800 years, and they still don't know what they're for...

As predicted, it's Captain Rayner's galaxy, and we're all just living in it.

I can see what the various interviews were saying - things are already set up to have a sense of finality, with a strong theme of "moving on" woven throughout just about every character's arc so far.

The "respectful Indiana Jones" vibe is a lot of fun, I hope they can sustain this energy for the rest of the season.

Yeah, if the article was just her being evasive about season three spoilers, I probably wouldn't have bothered sharing it.

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.

The original announcement referred to the Academy being re-opened after 100 years, so it's a pretty safe bet.

CBS/Paramount have been treating it as canon for over a decade, that ship has pretty much sailed.

The Enterprise canonically carries an inflatable balloon of itself, and why would you want it any other way?

It was also more in-line with the story - Klingon opera doesn't really belong in American-style musical theatre, while it's easier to slot this sort of pop into that style.

The description for the Hall H panel is hilariously vague - there will be reveals! And surprises! No need to ask who's hosting!
