The bridge crew have always been the main characters. Them and whoever was the chief engineer and medical officer.

This time around is supposed to be just a random mook from the lower decks. Basically the entire show is going to be a Wesley episode.

>>80226816
but a number one isn't someone who's a random mook from the lower decks, it's literally someone who's second in command

I mean the Number One is literally second in command.

Even so, why would focusing on a character from the lower decks make it a Wesley episode? A concept being done badly doesn't mean the concept can't be done.

I'm not even interested in this show but I swear to God you guys just look for reasons to be pissed off all the time.

I expect a fuck ton of autistic screeching whenever any episode doesn't measure up to the high bar of 'City on the Edge of Forever' or 'Measure of a Man' or 'In the Pale Moonlight' or whatever.

I expect the show to be watchable to poor for the first season

I expect fans to be unnecessarily harsh on it, over blowing small flaws and overlooking positive aspects

I fully 100% expect anything even remotely progressive or "SJW" will be met with their own threads ad nigh infinitum

I expect it won't last past 2 or 3 seasons.

I expect in 10 years time people will be REEEEEing about whatever new retarded direction they take the franchise in while giving Discovery a more fair view just like they did with Enterprise
In all honesty though, I'm not massively optimistic. I hope it will be good, but the production woes worry me. I know TNG had major production woes, but lets face it, it was a one in a million miracle show that was incredibly lucky to reach the third season to get good in the first place. Lightning in a bottle twice and all that.

Seven of Nine almost sort of became the main character of Voyager.

I mean not every episode was about her, but it sort of did feel like it was disproportionately focusing more on her specifically than any other character.

I mean I get why. She was the new character, she was hot and she's easily the most compelling character on the show besides maybe The Doctor, but still.

Why?

OK, so it's pretty obvious that Isaacs is going to get La La Landed and die at the end of the pilot, correct? Otherwise what is all this shit about the First Officer being the "main character".

But I think he'll do a decent job and be pretty noble (I actually liked him in the OA) and he will get tossed around semi seriously in "best captain" discussions for his one episode by idiots who would never go for a black female captain.

It was going to be awful either way. The fact that it keeps getting pushed back is a bad sign.
They should have just done a status quo Trek show, set after the return of Voyager (choose how many years delay you desire) because chronologically this is where we last saw the Trek universe.
New crew and ship of course. Fuck all this rebooting and re-visiting old timelines bullshit, it gives you no scope to expand the universe.

>>80233872
They're afraid of moving too far away from Kirk and Spock.

>>80233947
but by going backwards they've actually moved the furthest. If they continued after Voy they could mention Kirk and Spock and all the others, this way they haven't even been born yet.

>>80234176
No my dude. It means they have tested it to a poor reception and now the race is on to get it to "barely passable" and push it out ASAP.
A delayed film is one thing, that can possibly be saved, but if you have to make core changes to a serial TV show, you have major problems that a few extra months is not going to fix.
If it were any other show it would be canned after the first series. With the Star Trek franchise name behind it though, it might have a chance no matter how shit it is.

>>80226719

>What do you guys expect from Star Trek: Discovery

From the way they're advertising it and the leaks we're getting from production, SJW shit.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get an un-ironic episode where the gender-neutral staff of the Enterprise teams-up with a race of wrinkly brown aliens that are being oppressed on a nearby planet by a power-mad dictator named Tronaldus Drump Maximus and his legions of oppressive, hive-mind enforcers known as "Rebkugicans" who routinely beat and victimize brown aliens while also denying the objectively super-scientific concept of Galactic Warming.

>>80234301

There are no test audiences.

Filming only started in January.

>>80234301

Enterprise got the last wave of production companies that were willing to give a show a chance to improve.
but now they will shit can it within the first season because they can replace it with a reality TV show for a fraction of the cost.

I think it might have had more to do with why the same thing happened to Sisko.

Except, instead of Seven of Nine taking the spot light, because she's literally the rape baby of a cosmic deity that exists outside of space and time, is the single most specialest person in the universe, a conduit of the most important event in human history to the point where even said cosmic deities think much of it (the prejudice against blacks) and on top of all that, the literal messiah of an entire civilization, making him the torn in the side of not one, but two major powers too; Seven of Nine was instead uniquely important on Voyager, because she was an alien to the federation ways, but not the kind that you stop and interact with for a couple episodes before moving on, and instead lived on the ship

>>80233694

Star Trek used to be authentically leftist at least. The first Enterprise crew was people from all over the world working together. Uhura was from Africa; Sulu was from Japan; Scotty was from Scotland; etc. The new movies changed that, and Uhura is black American; Sulu is Korean-American; Scotty is still from Scotland, I guess, but the general message now is "America is diverse and shut up."

I expect to catch it after it's been cancelled and on Netflix.

None of these censor anything, cuck. There is nothing stopping you or any company from releasing uncensored media, ASIDE from your own concerns about marketability.

Meanwhile we live in a world where Leftists are literally rioting, starting fires, throwing bricks and pepper-spraying white women in the face because Milo Yinnapolis came to their college campus and said "Cultural Appropriation is a made-up concept".

It's going to fucking suck.

IT'S GOING TO FUCKING SUCK.

The original showrunner jumped ship, there are no writers from any Star Trek tv shows on staff, the release date has been pushed back INDEFINITELY.

Why the fuck was CBS planning to release this on their superscription streaming service and not TV?

The lead executive's dick shrinks down whenever talks about scifi and he doesn't give a shit, but he's decided to do his best Sony Pictures impression and start meddling the fuck out of everything.

The executives want this to be the most modern and high tech Star Trek ever seen. They don't really care about what timeline it takes place in, just uh, just multiverse it.

Netflix are funding a huge ass chunk of this budget, maybe a majority share, because they wanted a good Star Trek show that takes place in the original timeline that is true to the series. They're not going to get that, they're going to get a show that will be ridiculed and no one will watch it, rumors are that Netflix is pissed and wants their money back.

And merchandisers really fucking hate it, because nobody buys Kelvin reboot merch, they all want retro star trek and shit from TNG and the actual TV shows. They believe that if they end up with a shit show that tries to look high tech and modern, they won't be able to give away merch, never mind sell it.
