After debuting on CBS All Access last fall, Star Trek: Discovery has taken the beloved franchise into a new direction. And according to one of the stars of Discovery's predecessors, being on a streaming platform gives the series a unique opportunity. In a recent interview with Variety, Deep Space Nine star Rene Auberjonois was asked about the sort of spiritual connection between both shows. ?People love to stream the original episodes and all the other versions, but ours is the one that is almost like a Russian novel."
