Wouldn’t it more likely be Mog, Worf’s father, to be the right age? Or am I off on my fictional dates?
Actually in Star Trek VI - Colonel Worf was the defense counsel at Kirk and McCoy’s trial - although Discovery takes place around 40 years before that movie .
But the baby has Voq’s coloring, so unless he outgrows that, he’s not likely to be Worf I/Mog…
well he is in hiding and assumed dead, which presumes at some point he will have to adopt a new name, and maybe feel inclined to hide the distinctive coloring he shares with his father…
Anyone else heard the rumor that this show was getting the axe? Several of the actors on the show have posted the meme of looking for work have hit twitter…
Yeah, but it was Pike and Spock… Could easily see them being one-season characters.
It hasn’t been renewed for a third season, but given that they’ve greenlighted three other Star Trek shows, it’d be hard to imagine them killing this one. Feels like it’s pretty critical for CBS All Access.
(If they cancel ST:D, I’d cancel CBS AA flat out, Picard show or not.)
To echo DennyA - these are season long guest stars, not Discovery core crew members. Discovery may not be exactly like an Anthology series as originally pitched, but it seems clear that they have distinct season long plots that explore different parts of the Original Series back-story/mythology - and as such will probably have different Captains/Guest Stars for each season.
It’s so funny about the guy playing Pike, Anson Mount. When I see him as Pike or in ANYTHING that isn’t Hell on Wheels, I find it almost impossible to recognize him as the same guy that played the hero of that series, Cullen Bohannon. I never saw a guy whose appearance was totally transformed by a beard and longer hair. The accent he put on probably contributed greatly too.
(I was a HUGE Hell on Wheels fan BTW. Watched it all as it aired.)
It was one of the best western tv series ever made, up there right next to Deadwood.
I find it amusing he spent those 5 years with Colm Meaney, then ends up on a Star Trek series.
re : The latest episode.
Discovery is going way beyond TNG (at least, how I remember it) in terms of magical technobabble solutions.
Still, entertaining to watch, but it’s starting to get a tad unbelievable, even for Trek :)
It just seems more ridiculous because it’s not coming from the mouth of Geordi La Forge.
Loved the Babel scene and Reno’s back yay.
They haven’t even gotten close to some of the bizarre stuff the happened in TNG. You’ve just forgotten it.
More like suppressed those particulairy memories…
Call me when Discovery surpasses “Genesis.”
Hah, think I remember that one. Something causes the crew to “de-evolve” into weird sub humans or some crazy shit.
I cannot recall anything to do with those photos. OMG! POSSIBLE TNG EPISODE I HAVE NOT SEEN!!1
You just blocked it out. It’s one of those ill-considered seventh season “we’re running out of ideas” episodes.
Also, you never get as good a look at the character during the episode as you do in those pictures.
I thought the “evolution within the same generation” thing that happened in this last episode was pretty damned far fetched, even for this series. It’s pure fantasy.
You’re referring to Saru? My understanding is that there was no evolution—just revelation. Kelpians thought that the condition he experienced was fatal. Rather, it was a transformation from their state of constant fear to one without constant fear. They just had to endure the condition, with it ending with their ganglia falling off. All previous Kelpians were culled/harvested before they made it that far.
So due to the fact that he was the one and only member of his species to make it off his home planet, this is only now being discovered? Hmm.
