Vainamoinen: Wellll. It IS the future of Star Trek after all. One of them at least. :)

Breja: I mean this thread to be specifically about the upcoming productions, not the ones we've already seen. Nothing wrong with letting it wander of course, but I just feel kinda spent of arguing Beyond, and the Kelvin timeline in general. At least untill some news about the next movie shows up. You know, kinda like once the Star Wars Rogue One thread pops up it would be nice to not have it become another discussion of Force Awakens again.
mama said KNOCK YOU OUT! :V

More casting news.

http://io9.gizmodo.com/doug-jones-anthony-rapp-and-michelle-yeoh-are-your-fi-1789477193

Apparently I already know Mr. Jones from Hellboy and Pan's Labirynth, which I didn't even realise at first. Those are some good movies, and he was very good in them, so that's good news. Mr. Rapp on the other hand I don't think I know at all, so we'll see. Still, it's kind of amazing how the show is supposed to premiere in May (and that's already after beind moved) and we're barely getting started on casting.

Doug Jones, in heavy prosthetic makeup no doubt. Good choice, I think. :)

Doug Jones is a talented bloke, hopefully that means we get some wicked make up.

While I absolutely love the new trek movie series, I hope it doesn't burn itself out like the TNG movie series did.

He's supposed to be playing someone from a previously unknown species, so that's pretty much a given. I kinda wish he just played an Andorian though. It's about damn time we got one of them as one of the main cast.

I kind of want to see the Talosians from the cage make a come back, from what I hear star trek nemesis was originally scripted to have that happen, but it got deleted.

Right on! I loved the Andorians in Enterprise.

Could be interesting, but I can't see a sensible way of making it happen in the "immediately before TOS" period of the new show. Same goes for most things really.

I think they picked the worst possible time frame for the show. Just move forward, then you're not constrained with contiunity as much. I know Enterprise was a prequel too, and sometimes suffered for it, but at least it was set over a hundred years before TOS, so it had a lot of room to it's own thing and had an important (and unique) period of forming the Federation to show. But just ten years before TOS?

Eh, I don't think it would be too much of a stretch really, as Captain Pike ran into them quite a bit earlier in time frame in the original timeline than Kirk did, and Kirk's a captain much earlier than originally happened, it COULD work if they do it right, pretty much substitute Pike for Kirk. Think spock in the menagerie said it pretty much happened 11 years earlier or so.

Oh, you mean the movies. Yeah, it could work in the movies. I was talking about Discovery, which takes place in the original timeline, 10 years before TOS.

Ah yeah, discovery would be too different a time period. Yeah was talking about the movies, and the talosians could wreak all kinds of havoc in the movies if they ever went in that direction.

Fully agree. And it's not just the possible continuity violations, it's all the things in the galaxy that can't happen because the future as we've already watched it would be impossible.

I am so not looking forward to Discovery. Because I've read many things saying that it's aiming to be the new Game of Thrones, and I do not want titties in my Trek.

They're total wimps, and aren't they sterile anyway? Who'd want to see those freaks?
Personally I don't have high hopes for that series...Enterprise was already pretty horrible.
