Jason Isaacs has signed on to play the Discovery's captain. Not the lead role, but evidently still a major one.

Seems like they've put a pretty solid cast together....

Somehow.

First real look....

It looks like they're on Jedha or Jakku

Star Trek is male fantasy.

So cast two women in the leading roles.

GREAT DECISION!

Perhaps there will be a budding lesbian relationship between them and the real reason CBS is putting it online is so that they can show some titties now and then.


:shake::shake::shake:

There is at least one gay character on Discovery, played by Anthony Rapp

Show us the damn uniforms already. Nobody cares about the shitty desert episode they've already shot

From what I've read about the production problems, and them not giving a crap about canon, not to mention the horrible design of the new ship (looks like they glued a saucer to a Klingon battle cruiser), I am utterly unthrilled about this.

And if these ****ing tools think I'm going to pay another streaming service a monthly fee to watch ONE goddamn show, let's just say that the first free episode that they air had damn well better leap off my monitor screen and give me a holodeck hummer for the ages.

This poor shipmate...

Dude it can't be any worse than Voyager or Enterprise.

I will definitely give it a chance.

At least it isn't directed by Jar Jar Abrams.

LMAO

I'll give a chance and watch the free first episode.

But frankly I'm much more excited about The Orville than this.

The Orville and Lost In Space are way ahead of Discovery in terms of my interest and excitement.

Lost in Space is such a great concept that if done right, could be amazing.

Agreed on both points.

It's funny, when I was a kid back in the 70s I wanted nothing more than to be able to watch Lost in Space. It was aired on the independent channel out of Kansas City, but not the one out of St. Louis, and in Jeff City we got the St. Louis channel. When I'd visit my dad in Kirksville, they had the Kansas City channel, but my dad lived in the country and didn't have cable, so maybe, MAYBE, once a friggin year or so, I'd be at somebody's house at the right time to be able to see an episode of Lost in Space, and I thought it was the greatest thing ever.

A few years ago, I saw the old episodes were being broadcast on SciFi or some other channel and started watching them. Jesus, they were awful. LMAO
