The lead actress for “Star Trek Discovery” has been cast and it’s Sonequa Martin-Green of “The Walking Dead” cast. The talk goes that she will not be playing ‘the Captain’ but probably the First Officer of the main ship for this newest Trek show set to premiere this coming May. I’m excited by this casting and she seems to be a solid actress from what I have seen on TV. Other cast members are being locked in too as well. The show seems to be centering a lot on the Klingons and a possible Klingon Civil War. Time will tell if this new Trek series can live up to the others in the franchise. I’m excited to see new Trek on TV after almost 12 years of only a few movies for Trek.
Star Trek Continues: “Embracing the Winds”
“Star Trek: Discovery” – teaser
Released at Comic Con last weekend – here is the first real look at the upcoming early 2017 new “Star Trek” series on CBS All-Access. Lots of speculation on the web over the last week on the ship design and time frame for the new series. It has been confirmed by Bryan Fuller that the series will be wet in the Prime (Original) Universe. Current best guest is the series might be set between the Enterprise series and TOS – but not confirmed as of yet on that. The CGI below is also just a prototype test look. But I’m still excited that new Trek on TV is coming soon after over a decade wait.
