Isn't Sulu supposed to be gay in the new film? Still haven't seen it...

So I hear, I've not seen it myself and tbh can't work up the enthusiasm for it to bother, the new treks just don't grab me

Ha! Was having this conversation with my mate yesterday. He's like that about Star Wars as well. Has ripped the shit out of TFA but won't actually watch it.

I like the new Treks but then I'll watch most Trek output. Even the dreadful original series.

2 women captains now. Well technically Janeway is an admiral now but.....hopefully there will be excuses to use her martial arts skills, like a rude klingon or an arrogant cardassian

So basically any Klingon, and any Cardassian?

 

[DotCommunist]

it appears we are going to be focusing on the human-klingon war and also klingon politics. yaaay

 

[trabuquera]

K'plah!

Lieutenant Commander Rainsford:

bailed on walking dead ages ago so I have no idea if she's a good actor but then most of that cast are/were its just the writing that let it all down for me.

High hopes for this. Could be getting something better than DS9.
danny la rouge you may hold this series as canon I suspect- the klingons have smooth foreheads unlike TNG's ridged affairs

 

[The Octagon]

She's reasonably good in the walking dead, will be interesting to see her and Michelle Yeoh as the main characters

 

[EastEnder]

'Star Trek: Discovery' faces an indefinite delay

 

[DotCommunist]

they've cast the lead and spocks dad though.

 

[Dom Traynor]

Michelle Yeoh is ace can't wait for this now

if this is the new klingons I will eat my beanie.

Can't believe CBS and the cheek of them on this- they're making americaland pay for their new streaming service which discovery will air on. Its a streaming service that is subscription but still comes with adverts. Greedy fucks.

 

[krtek a houby]

Hmmm. They look like the ones in Into Darkness.

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

That trailer is just a bit confusing. I have no idea what the premise is, or why anything is happening. . . Apart from it occurring ten years before the original series.

Not overly excited to be honest.

WTF are those Klingons?

I bet that geezer who can sense death coming must be a right buzzkill at parties...

 

[Crispy]

Meh

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Meh

I agree.
They can't even make an exciting trailer.

 

[EastEnder]

Does this prequel precede the original ST or the alternate timeline ST of the recent films?

Original, apparently, so god knows why it looks nothing like it.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Pretty sure the Klingons of that time period looked like this:

I don't think that matters. Though I did quite like that fan made trek series that looked old school.

 

[EastEnder]

That's always a challenge though - how do you make 21st century sci-fi that looks cool but which is supposedly contemporaneous of 1960's sci-fi...? I dunno why they don't go the other way, make a new ST incarnation that's set a hundred years after TNG. Then they could go uber on the aesthetics & cool tech.

 

[Crispy]

Or just do its own thing in its own continuity. How many Batmen have there been? Does it matter?

I think CBS are going to fuck this one hard. Enterprise bad
