Star Trek Discovery

Hopefully they won't fuck it up by cutting out the swearing from certain episodes, like ITV probably would.

Seen an advert tonight plugging Disco on E4 on 15th December & its actually 8pm. E4 is going to be dedicated to Star Trek next Sunday

E4 will start from the very beginning & Netflix will show season 3 in 2020 in the U.K. the day after it airs in us

20 minutes!!!

On e4 at 9pm tonight

I asked actor Wilson Cruz who plays Dr Hugh Culber what we can expect for season 3 he said “everything is big”.

I'm expecting some cool, exciting stuff, I can't wait to see where they go with it.

Just watched episode one-a woman called Michael? That's bloody odd to start off with and a cameo from Michelle Yeoh, once a Bond girl in 'Tomorrow Never Dies' This is about as far removed from the original Star Trek series as you can get-anyone know who British actor Jason Isaacs is playing?(Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter films) Actress who plays Michael Burnham is tasty and they have certainly spent money on the effects. Not sure how it will pan out but must be popular if there are already a Season 2 to come and a 3rd season planned. 1 down, 4 to go recorded.

Michelle Yeoh will be a regular on discovery, she isn’t just in episode one of season 1. Yes there is a season 2 and Season 3 is coming out this year.

I’ve met the cast at Destination Star Trek in October 2018 including Sonequa-Martin Green



Mary Wiseman


And Doug Jones



Stick with it as it gets really good

Ah ha you've revealed your real name, very brave. However you didn't answer my two questions. Who does Jason Isaacs play? And why is she called Michael? Oh I intend to stick with it, I've seen practically all the other forms of Star Trek,the last one the 7 series with Scott Bakula in it.

Jason Isaacs plays Gabriel Lorca, he's in command of the USS Discovery. A great actor, playing a good character.
I think they went that way with her name due to it being set in the future, and names are likely to become even more unisex, there are women already called Michael though, there's a well known actress called Michael Michele.

Enterprise was great, this steps it up in regards to what they can do and where they can go.

The male names for female characters isn't anything to do with the future setting. Bryan Fuller the creator of Star Trek Discovery did the same thing with his other female lead characters, it's his gimmick. "George" from "Dead like me" and "Chuck" from "Pushing Daisies" are just 2 examples, I believe there are more.
