By the end of this season I was invested in every one of the characters in this show (a great sign going forward!). Sylvia Tilly (Mary Wiseman), the plucky-but-overly-anxious cadet with dreams of command in her future. Star Trek has always been (or should be) a very progressive-leaning show, so the gay characters made all the sense in the world and truly add some great emotion to the proceedings. Engineer Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp) and his partner, Doctor Hugh Culber (Wilson Cruz). Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif), a pawn (for both sides) in the war effort Saru (Doug Jones), a commanding officer from a race that can sense impending death Besides those aforementioned, we also have.
#STAR TREK DISCOVERY IMDB SERIES#
Of course, any Trek series might ultimately be defined by its cast of unique characters.
Enveloped in a seemingly never-ending war with the Klingons, what steps might be too far to end it? The United Federation of Planets has always been as much of an over-arcing ideal as a tangible belief system, but "Discovery" changes that and isn't afraid to "get its hands dirty" diving into those tricky issues. A strong push on fleshing out just what "The Federation" stands for, which becomes a larger and larger concept as the season rolls along. In short, a very good mix of "honoring the old stuff" while also telling its own stories. For example, a character played by Rainn Wilson is an immediate nod to TOS, while an alternate universe discovered will look awfully familiar. It's clear that show runners Bryan Fuller & Alex Kurtzman value the Trek cannon, as numerous references and key plot points abound that keen Trekkies will instantly pick up on (yet also aren't too reliant on those points so that new fans can't enter in, either). These aren't the "one-offs" of older Trek shows. This is easily the most serialized Trek show of the bunch, so there are plot/character threads that run from pilot to finale. That's just the very basic concept of "Discovery"-to go much deeper would be wading into spoiler-heavy territory-but suffice it to say that oh so much more is actually covered! For example. Somewhat reprieved of her previous crimes, Burnham continues to help Discovery fight the Klingons and endure the fantastic (and sometimes fantastical) scrapes such a conflict inevitably produces. Discovery, a ship developing a secret technology/weapon that could be used to end the war once and for all. Originally nothing more than a prisoner-in-transit, Burnham manages to endear herself to Captain Gabriel Lorca (Jason Isaacs) of the U.S.S. Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) is a traitor to the Federation, having defied the orders of her captain, Phillipa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh), and inadvertently started the war with the Klingon Empire. Though perhaps not perfect, after watching this first season I can cleanly say I'm excited to be watching Star Trek again! For a sort of brief overview, "Discovery" takes place post-Enterprise but pre-TOS (to set the stardate, if you will). What I found was a smartly-written, action-packed show that clearly pays homage to the past while forging ahead with new stories/plots as well. As such, one could easily say that "Discovery" is the first Trek show I've been able to watch "from the beginning" during its original airtime. Technically Enterprise premiered when I was a pre-teen, but that landed with such a thud that it never peaked my interest. Pike suspects the truth, however, speaking with M'Benga privately while the two men quietly ponder the far-reaching consequences of war and those that it irrevocably changes.Despite growing up watching The Original Series, The Next Generation, Voyager, and all the movies, one of the things I never really got to experience within the Star Trek universe was a new show. A formal Starfleet inquiry appears to clear M'Benga of wrongdoing since the murder weapon was also the dagger he used to kill the J'Gal warlords - because of Dak'Rah’s claims, the dagger is presumed to be his instead of M'Benga’s, with M'Benga acting in self-defense. Chapel arrives just in time to watch M'Benga stab Dak'Rah to death. M'Benga reveals his role in the battle to Dak'Rah when the ambassador visits the doctor privately in sickbay, resulting in the two men scuffling.
In reality, M'Benga infiltrated the Klingon command present at J'Gal and personally killed three warlords whose deaths Dak'Rah took credit for to prove his loyalty to Starfleet. Though Dak'Rah claims he turned on his own soldiers when he was horrified by the atrocities they committed, this proves to be an elaborate lie. Reviewing M'Benga’s personnel file, Pike learns that M'Benga became an active combatant in the final stages of the conflict - when Dak'Rah encouraged his troops to target civilians.
