Star Trek: Discovery Finds Its Lead With a Current Walking Dead Actress

Star Trek: Discovery finally has its star. The Walking Dead's Sonequa Martin-Green will headline the first Star Trek series in over a decade for CBS All Access, TVGuide.com has learned. Martin-Green will play a lieutenant commander in the new series hitting CBS' streaming network in May 2017. This is the first time that a Star Trek series won't be anchored by a character playing a captain, but according to Entertainment Weekly, who first reported the news, Martin-Green's character's position as lieutenant will have "caveats."
Casting an African-American female to lead the series was a big priority for the show's original showrunner, Bryan Fuller, who left the show earlier this fall due to his other creative commitments. Sonequa Martin-Green's casting follows the announcement that Rent alum Anthony Rapp will also be playing the openly gay Lt. Stamets, an "astromycologist" and Starfleet Science Officer.

I won’t be watching. I’m tired of Gollywood shoving PC down our throats Same here... plus, I'm still pissed about the Axanar lawsuit.

Negan is the best character on the show. Gonna be sad to see him go.

Yup. The writing and the great interaction among the three main characters made the show.

This is a slap in the face of all Star Trek fans.
Way to kill Star Trek.

I watch Supernatural. Yeah, I know. I started watching it with my granddaughter and just continued.
Anyway the guy that plays Negan was the dad on Supernatural. I liked him much better in that.

The official statement is that the Trek gig won't interfere with her appearances on TWD. More than one way to interpret that, though.

Won’t last 2.
It won’t garner much beyond Star Trek fans, we’ve already soured on female captains.

Nothing wrong with Supernatural. Great show. The two leads are unbelievably great together.
Yea he was great on Supernatural. But he wasn’t in it much, from what I remember. Watched up through Metatron and him losing.

This is homosexual star trek.
PC at warp 6.
Axanar is light years ahead of this garbage.
CBS should cut their loses.

I thought Abrams did that with the Faux Trek films. I predict this will be a fiasco and go down in flames under the weight of its racist, Stalinist PC propaganda.
