Alas, Spock is definitely headed to Star Trek: Discovery in Season 2 but he won't be the cool-headed Vulcan you know from the original Star Trek series. After dropping the big news that the OG character was headed to Discovery at Comic-Con, new showrunner Alex Kurtzman shared even more details about Spock's much-anticipated appearance, and it looks like there's some major family drama ahead.

"This is not entirely the Spock who has been formed enough to be the Spock that we know from TOS. There's a lot of story about who Spock was before he becomes the Spock that is the yin-yang to Kirk," Kurtzman told TV Guide. "What I'm so excited about is that we have an opportunity to present a version of Spock that's both totally consistent with the Spock everyone knows but very, very different. And it's all gonna tie to how we sync up with canon."

So first of all, its clear that they have no faith in the crew of the Discovery so they're going to slowly change it to the original adventures of Star Trek Enterprise. Maybe they'll treat the crew of the Discovery as complete losers. I would expect that at some point this year they'll pull the Discovery into a space garage for repairs and find a long haired grease monkey named Scotty who does the repairs and over charges them, which leads to Pike giving him a life lesson and recruiting him into Star Fleet

Pike - "You'll be an Engineer in two years and a Chief Engineer in 5"
Scotty - "Ach Laddy e'll dow it in five"

Then there will be a medical emergency and they'll find a doctor at a remote outpost who's a drunk bitter dude named McCoy.

Pike - "You'll be a nurse in two years and a Doctor in 5"
McCoy - "I'm already a doctor you idiot"

And second of all, they're going to modify spock.

I wonder if they're basing it on the yelly Spock from the Menagerie in the original series.
