I didn’t even realize they were supposed to be Klingons. I think they should just do makeup and forget the CGI.
Same! It took me way too long to realize they were Klingons. “Enterprise” did one thing well and that was establish, canonically, why the Klingons in ToS and TNG look different. At least stick with that.

3) Lots of females is great and all but this is Star Trek; it should be incredibly progressive. Each show should build on what came before. We start with the All American corn-fed Captain, get the balding philosopher king, then an African-American Captain, and finally a woman (I’m ignoring Archer cause prequel). This is going to be the first new Star Trek in a very long time. It should absolutely push the envelope of being progressive. Queer, diverse, body positive, race positive, gender positive and every alphabet letter in that soup. A cast of just mostly human women doesn’t cut it for me. It shouldn’t cut it.
Racial diversity can’t be just for humans, now, can it?
Joking aside, the Klingon genome is probably much more diverse than the human genome, because of the Hur’q invasion of Kronos a thousand years before the TNG era.

OMG thank you RG. I am hoping for a strong diverse cast. I believe there is going to be LGBTQ rep. Perhaps the Captain is bisexual or lesbian.
However what is irking me is the past. Move Forward Gene vision was about equality, diversity, and representation, and moving FORWARD. why are they doing prequels. I don’t care about the past I want to know life past Picard, Janeway, and Sisko. What happen after. Romulans and Federation were finally trying to work together against a common threat are they still enemies. Or did the events of the movie going to show us a different AU future. Heck I would even accepted a sort of Flashpoint Universe where we see the effects of the movies impacting the future in notable ways. ARRRGGGG come trek.
But as RG said yes I am going to still watch it. LOL

I hope it is just good. That it is about the nature of humanity. That it is just about something real. The last prequel was so bad.
I found the trailer grating for its repeated use of “I say a thing. I immediately repeat the thing profoundly.”

There have been rumors for a while now that there’s going to be a sort of Botany Bay but for Klingons. That could be what we’re seeing.
Now, I could be way off, but I’m wondering if DSC could be using a flashback format similar to OUaT and Arrow.
Here’s how I’m thinking the Pilot might go: Most of the Present stuff will be in the desert. Just Burnham and Georgiou walking and talking. We keep flashing back to Burnham’s first mission on the Shenzhou — the first encounter with the Klingon Sarco Ship. At the end of the episode, they beam aboard the Discovery and meet its crew.
Throughout the series, we will be flashing back to Burnham’s time on the Shenzhou, while the “present” events will take place on the Discovery. Some of the crew may also carry over from the Shenzhou. This could even allow them to have “The Cage”-style uniforms, as well as the ones shown in the trailer.
Of course, like I said, this is just a theory, and I could be WAY off. Thoughts?
