When is the cast going to be announced? That's all i really care about and want to know. They start shooting in October, shouldn't they have everyone hired by now?
will be interesting to see if they go with big superstars or a bunch of unknowns |

I think First Contact also had a weak ending, I wanted to be on the edge of my seat, but wasn't.

You weren't the least bit fooled when Data fired at the Phoenix then? There's your tension.

Are you under the impression they're obligated to make an announcement within a certain amount of time after hiring the cast? This is the kind of self-entitlement you get from people who've grown up with a continuos stream of on-set updates, teasers, trailers, trailer for teasers, event-like announcements, etc.

But I didn't believe for a second that Data would turn. For me, it was the fight between Picard and the Borg Queen that was a bit tame. |

The writers did work hard to make it seem plausible that Data might turn. We'd seen his erratic behaviour due to the emotion chip in Generations, seen that Data now had the ability to switch it off and that the Borg had forcibly reactivated it. And then the Borg queen offered him something he'd always wanted...

Maybe in my naive youth I was then. Even Data he was tempted to join the Queen for 0.68 seconds. It's one of my favourite moments in the movie. The external sensors clearly indicate the weapons locked onto the Phoenix. So whatever he was supposed to have done when he fired them we were clearly supposed to have thought he'd turned, until the very last moment.

Did anyone honestly believe that they were going to kill Riker, Cochran and fundamentally change ST history?
![]() However, the jeopardy was inevitably a false jeopardy as it almost always is when it's an episodic TV series. |

![]() The whole story was about the danger of the Borg going back and changing history. |

“Star Trek Discovery’s” lead character, whom we learned earlier this month would be a female, human non-captain Starfleet officer, will be referred to in the series as “Number One,” showrunner Bryan Fuller told me during a radio chat late Saturday.

Slightly more up to date article.
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/76084 Says that announcements on casting will probably be made in October. Am disappointed that one of the writers of 'Into Darkness' is involved with the show . . . . . |

hmmm.. well unless its a quirky alien society name, 'number 1' is the of course the nickname for the 2nd in command. IF thats the case,seems like a bit of a cop out - not centered around the captain, but centred around another senior member of the bridge crew... edit:confirmed. http://trekcore.com/blog/2016/08/bry...iscovery-data/ Quote:

I doubt she'll take as long to get her captaincy as Riker did.

The signs suggest it's going to be the antithesis of Star Trek.
I hate everything I am reading about this concept, it reads like yet another soapy naval gazing bore-fest. But he's clearly a massive Trek fan so I'm going to trust he get's this right. |

Being a first officer, she won't be as far removed from the action as they were. There's a distinct possibility that she'll be in the line of fire more often than the captain. Unless the captain is as fond of bending the away team rules as previous well known starfeelt capatains have been/

Next Generation was probably going to have the Captain taking a back seat to the first officer, but often the general public decides who the dominant character is and it seems Picard was more interesting than Riker.
ST TNG moved away from it's original setup quite dramatically from S2 onwards, it saved the show. New shows often fail because the show runner does not bend and insists on keeping with their own "vision", regardless of how it's going down with the public. Bryan Fuller strikes me as a person who won't bend, so if it doesn't work from S1 he'll be booted from S2. |
