Young wonderkid archetype, that’s the general comparison between Wes and TIlly.
“Glorified set pieces”
I like that!
I looked up the helm chick cause I was wondering what was up with her eye (I guess she was injured in the battle in the pilot).
I also looked up the cyborg chick cause WTF is up with her? Sources don’t agree whether she’s an alien or human. Last ep I saw I think some evil computer thing got up in her, dun dun dun.
They made “Michael” Spock’s adopted sister so OF COURSE they were gonna show Spock. SMH. I don’t get the lying (like saying Cumberbitch wasn’t Kahn and then having him be Kahn, outright lies are not “twists”).
I think they’ll be heading to the forbidden planet in a private shuttle, I’ll let you know.
The person behind the lies is Alex Kurtzman. He was the head writer on Star Trek Into Darkness and is the "showrunner" on STD and has written and directed a number of episodes. I think he's like Slick Willie in that you can pretty much tell he's lying whenever he lips are moving.
His biggest lie was claiming Discovery would be 'strictly following canon' when that OBVIOUSLY isn't the case since the FIRST episode of the show aired and had them using holographic communication on a routine basis, roughly 110 years before it was introduced as a brand new, experimental technology in DS9.
His latest claim is that the upcoming Picard series with Patrick Stewart will be "nothing like Discovery" and that the show picks up in the prime timeline with Jean Luc Picard, 25 years after we last saw him.
So I take that to mean the show will be EXACTLY like Discovery and it will basically be Picard in the Discovery universe (Klingorcs, f-bombs, everything is dark with a weird bluish hue, Geordi La Forge married to another man so they can do a shoutout to the LGBTQWHATEVERINITALSTHEYADDEDTHISWEEK community, etc.) I bet his version on Picard is a huge admirer of "legendary 23rd century Starfleet officer Michael Burnham"
Also he claims there won't be any TNG cast members on the new show besides Picard, so there's one right up there with "Cumberbatch isn't Khan" and "you won't see Spock on Discovery"
