[QUOTE="Ome, post: 76980, member: 2"] [SIZE=6][B]Star Trek: Discovery's captain Jason Isaacs is looking forward to pissing off die-hard fans[/B][/SIZE] Star Trek: Discovery is gearing up to boldly go where no Star Trek series has gone before, and one of the show's stars doesn't really care if you're going to be mad about it. We already know that Discovery will be set roughly a decade before the events of the original 1960s series (and has nothing to do with the current feature films either), but now Jason Isaacs is warning that the series won't necessarily follow Star Trek canon – and he doesn't care if die-hard Trekkies are upset with some of the changes. "I don't mean to sound irreverent when I say I don't care about the die-hard Trek fans," Isaacs told the New York Daily News. "I only 'don't care' about them in the sense that I know they're all going to watch anyway. "I look forward to having the fun of them being outraged, so they can sit up all night and talk about it with each other." And as for how the sci-fi series may be a little different in its most recent incarnation, Isaacs had this to say: "It's [I]Star Trek[/I], but not as we know it. There are places obviously where they've observed canon to do with things like uniforms and badges and stuff, but there are places where the rules of storytelling are reinvented."

"[I'm] not allowed to say that my captain will probably be the most f**ked up," Isaacs said during the show's Comic-Con panel last month. "[But] he has a lot of rough edges." The new series is coming to us from Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman, with The Walking Dead's Sonequa Martin-Green, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's Michelle Yeoh, Anthony Rapp, Wilson Cruz and Hellboy's Doug Jones also starring.
