BIB: On what basis do you assert that? If you have no basis, then what you say is just another opinion masquerading as fact.

Yes, production logistics and scripts are two different things. Is it not possible that a distaste for the series setting is skewing your view of the production mechanics and schedule?

Calling production a "car crash" at this point is wild exaggeration.
Well, with the set back of airing date, the changing production staff and what limited plot and design we've seen, it's hardly a model production.

Klingons!

The first is Chris Obi (Roots) as T’Kuvma, a leader seeking to unite the Klingon houses.

The second is Shazad Latif (Penny Dreadful) who will play Kol, a Klingon Commanding Officer, and protege of T’Kuvma.

And the third is newcomer Mary Chieffo as L’Rell, the Battle Deck Commander of a Klingon ship.

So it sounds like they will be closely following the story of at least one Klingon ship. I guess that they wouldn't bother announcing casting for occasional roles?

Hopefully this news will calm down all those people who were ranting about the Discovery having a Klingon Captain.

Well I sure hope the Klingon ship is of a better design than the Discovery.

Also wondering whether they'll be TOS Klingons, TNG Klingons, or JJ Klingons ... maybe something else entirely?

If they ever get round to filming it, we'll see then!

Walking Dead’s Sonequa Martin-Green has been cast as lead.

I suppose it's possible she could still do both (neither show having 22 episode seasons) but I wonder if she's getting killed off in WD next year.

Star Trek: Diversity

It's a bit late to the party, Donald Trump's Star Trek would be a sight to behold for sure.

"I'm gonna keep those Klingons behind a space wall!, 100million parsecs long, very important to do that"

"Keeping jobs on Earth!, no outsourcing to Uranus..."

Though it's still possible, It's highly unlikely it will get canned at this stage. It's pretty certain it will get filmed.

I do wonder though whether Netflix will have the gall to call it "A Netflix Original", as they sure like to plaster their brand all over the products of others when they show them. The best it could be really (in foreign territories outside the US) is "A Netflix Exclusive".

I wonder if he'd realise it would have to be a sphere, not a wall.

It'd be the biggest Dyson Sphere anyone's ever seen, though

You could argue that up to this point that Star Trek hasn't been diverse enough. White Anglo Saxon men probably make up no more than 5% of the world's population but have so far been the lead 3 times out of 5.

Is there enough time for its rescheduled airing with that date?

Seriously? Star Trek was the most diverse show on TV when it started.

Well, one things for sure. If ever it's made, the 'making of' extra on the DVD will be interesting!

Since when has French been Anglo-Saxon?

Considering they make up the majority of viewers, it's hardly surprising really, is it?

That's a fair point for previous shows but is it true now? Isn't Star Trek pretty massive globally?

I'm not someone that believes in diversity for diversity sake, but if you have a show about a future in which mankind has come together to explore the galaxy then it makes sense that the crew is going to be pretty diverse.

I fear for all Trek fans that just like big the Orange fella, the new series may be a big puff ball of nothingness. If you take a look at the Voyager and Deep Space Nine episodes now, most of them look exactly the same and and are comatose-inducing viewing.

I completely disagree. I have rewatched DS9 recently and many of it's episodes hold up to today's standard of tv - The Visitor is excellent.
