It's set 10 years before The Original Series, main character wont be a Captain

Loads more details here

:think:

I think he generally means there wont be as much executive meddling in the show, lol.

It sounded like they were going to have more violence and stuff, like an HBO show. But I don't think they'd go down that route (very much anyway).

Yeah, Bryan Fuller has talked about the show being quite optimistic, I don't think it will be filled with sex and violence, though I do think we will see some violence.

My main question.... What will the Klingons look like? Given how they looked different in the TOS era, lol.

Another prequel uhhhhhhh

Yeah, I'd have much rather it have gone forward like TNG did, rather than going back to the TOS era again. Hopefully it's still good though. Will have loads of restrictions though, since they can't have enemies like the Romulans and Borg.

Hmm, on twitter, Bryan Fuller replied to two people on Twitter who were upset about its placement in the timeline

"All Good Things"

Which is
A. The series finale of TNG, and heavily involved with cause and effect time travel, taking place in 3 separate time...things.
B. All Good Things come to those who wait
C. All Good Things come to an end.

Given that All Good Things was one of the best TNG episodes, its pretty likely he is refering to that, which means... it might just start off in the TOS era.

CBS All Access' Star Trek: Discovery has added a captain to its ranks.

Jason Isaacs has joined the cast of the twice-delayed Star Trek drama for CBS' digital platform, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The series features the franchise's Enterprise, now known as the U.S.S. Discovery, and introduces new characters seeking new worlds and civilizations while exploring the dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966.

Isaacs (USA Network's Dig, NBC's Awake) will star as Captain Lorca, the captain of the Starship Discovery. He joins a growing cast of series regulars that includes The Walking Dead's Sonequa Martin-Green as Rainsford, a lieutenant commander; Doug Jones as science officer Saru; Anthony Rapp as fellow science officer Stamets; James Frain as Sarek, a Vulcan astrophysicist and Spock's father; Terry Serpico as Starfleet admiral Anderson; Maulik Pancholy as chief medical officer Nambue; and Sam Vartholomeos as junior Starfleet officer Connor. Set to recur are Michelle Yeoh as Georgiu, captain of another ship called the Shenzhou; Shazad Latif as Kol, the Klingon commanding officer; Chris Obi as a Klingon leader T'Kuvma; and Mary Chieffo as L'Rell, a Klingon commander.

The 13-episode Star Trek: Discovery has already had a troubled road to the screen. Originally set to debut in January 2017, it was delayed to May before being pushed back a second time; CBS Corp. CEO Leslie Moonves noted that the series is now likely going to debut in the late summer or fall. On top of the delays, original showrunner Bryan Fuller exited the series in October, with his longtime collaborators Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts poised to take over.

Additional exec producers on Star Trek: Discovery, produced by CBS Television Studios, include Alex Kurtzman and his Secret Hideout topper Heather Kadin, Fuller via his Living Dead Guy Productions, Roddenberry Entertainment's Rod Roddenberry, Akiva Goldsman and Trevor Roth.

Isaacs, a popular name among broadcast and cable networks every pilot season, counts Netflix's The OA, the Harry Potter franchise as well as Hotel Mumbai and Death of a Stain among his credits. He's repped by Gersh, Silver Lining and Jackoway Tyerman.

Apparently this is the first time they have shot for a Star Trek TV show outside of America o:

The two people in the image are the captain of the USS Shenzou and the first officer of the USS Discovery

Also, we're apparently getting footage later today!

Never watched anything Star Trek related but might give this a go.

I uploaded the CBS trailer from the previous post to Youtube. It looks like a different trailer?

Oh, blocked worldwide.

Hmm, the CBS trailer does seem a little different, odd. The streamable link will hopefully still be working
