John de Lancie To Appear In Next Episode Of Star Trek Continues; Series To End In October![]() Fan production Star Trek Continues has revealed that actor John de Lancie is in their next episode, and also announced release dates for their remaining three shows. de Lancie will be appearing in the next installment, “What Ships Are For”, along with actress Anne Lockhart, who is best known to genre fans for playing “Sheba” in the original Battlestar Galactica. The episode, the plot of which is being kept under wraps, is co-written by Kipleigh Brown, who plays Lieutenant Barbara Smith in the series. We recently spoke to Brown about working on the show and her experience writing the episode, which you can check out here. Landing a fan favorite like de Lancie is a huge coup, and the actor was intrigued when series creator/star Vic Mignogna pitched him the story:
It appears de Lancie will not be reprising his role as Q, but he won’t say much about the character he’s playing, only that his nature will be revealed as the story transpires:

The series, which began in 2013, will conclude with a two-part finale that will premiere in the fall. Part one will bow at the Salt Lake Comic Con the weekend of September 21st, with part two to follow on October 6th at the New York Comic Con. | |

So, I don't get the complaints about the racial diversity in Discovery. Has Star Trek not ALWAYS been big on diversity? It's not like they're recasting a previously existing character as a different race or sex, even I would complain then because I'm a continuity nerd. That said, it's baffling that ANY Star Trek fan would complain about black or female characters. They must be newbies...

Fans who did not book next year's first-ever, sold-out official Star Trek: The Cruise, hosted by William Shatner, will not be left in a black hole. The producers have announced Star Trek: The Cruise II, with two sailings in January 2018. The second round of Star Trek-themed cruises will both be hosted by George Takei (Sulu on the original Star Trek series) and take place on the 2,402-passenger Norwegian Jade, sailing from Miami to the Western Caribbean. Officials of St. Louis-based Entertainment Cruise Productions, which is producing the cruises, said 4,000 people had signed up for early notice of the 2018 sailings. “I am so excited and honored that so many of you are so eager to vacation with me and my Star Trek colleagues," Takei said in a press release. A six-day Star Trek: The Cruise II sailing embarks on Jan. 5, 2018, and a five-day sailing on Jan. 11, 2018. Other cast members who have signed on to be onboard include Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn and Gates McFadden from Star Trek: The Next Generation; Terry Farrell and Rene Auberjonois from Deep Space Nine; and Ethan Phillips from Star Trek: Voyager, with more expected to be announced. According to the producers, the cruises will be a "fully immersive experience" for Star Trek fans who can hang out in specially redesigned spaces of the ship — such as "Sandrine's II" restaurant (a "sister" to the restaurant of Chez Sandrine on Star Trek: Voyager) and the 13 Forward bar (influenced by Ten Forward on Star Trek: The Next Generation). Special Star Trek cocktails will also be available at the renamed "The Captain's Club." The cruises will include nightly themed parties such as “Starfleet’s Intergalactic Gala” and “The Festival of the Moon Party." There will also be Q&A seminars and clinics with the actors and lectures by experts in space, science and technology, the producers said. On a port stop at Harvest Caye, Norwegian Cruise Line's new private island in Belize, passengers will find the place retrofitted as "a pleasure planet," with Star Trek-themed events. This year is the 50th anniversary of the Star Trek franchise, which first hit the airwaves in 1966.

I do have some problems with Discovery but it's not about Sonequa Martin Green, I like her on Walking Dead and think she will be good in the role. At this point I'm a little confused about her role. She's 1st officer so I guess it will be told from the point of view of the 1st officer, interesting and different for Star Trek. Who is the Captain??? Michelle Yeoh or Jason Isaacs? My problem with Star Trek Discovery 1. The time line. I think they are wussing out by putting it like 10 years before the original series, they don't want to deal with the bad JJ Abrams fucking up the time line crap and blowing up Vulcan. I know they will have more shows in the future. Are they going to purposely set them in different time lines to avoid the other shows? Would love to have Discovery set during Kirk's time line. 2. Introducing new Aliens, morningsong hit the head of the nail about this subject. 3. Michelle Yeoh, her acting in the trailer is horrible. If they want another Asian female then hire Tamlyn Tomita instead. | |

[Edited 6/23/17 11:56am] Mixed feelings about these cruises. Could one actually eat or sleep while stanning out on the fact they're on the same cruise? I mean how much could I embarrass myself knowing Karl Urban is in such close physical vicinity,showering and stuff? | |

Denise Crosby: I Was Miserable On Star Trek TNG
Crosby: I was miserable on TNG Denise Crosby famously walked away from being a member of the main cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation shortly before the end of the first season. Her character of Tasha Yar was killed off in the episode "Skin of Evil." In an interview with the official Star Trek site, Crosby says that with everything she knows now she would do it again, and she explained…
The actress also notes how she never expected to return to the series:

New Star Trek series will abandon Gene Roddenberry’s cardinal rule
For the first time, a Trek series will show main characters in a negative light.
Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry had a lot of strict rules for writers on his shows. Some, like the requirement that both female and male officers be called "sir," were thrown out a while ago (Kate Mulgrew, who played Captain Kathryn Janeway, wanted to be called "ma'am"). Now, with forthcoming series Star Trek: Discovery, we're about to see one of Roddenberry’s most cherished rules bite the dust. When Roddenberry first framed his ideas for the Star Trek universe, he wanted to be sure that writers would emphasize the Utopian aspects of future life in the Federation. Some of that Utopianism was hardwired into the show's basic premise, in which money, war, and racial discrimination are things of the distant past. But Roddenberry wasn't satisfied with that—he wanted characters whose behavior was exemplary, too.

^^I kind of was thinking the same thing, I even remember Sisko having to make a dirty choice, but I guess they're going to go a bit further than a choice or 2. That might be a bit unsettling, especially given the whole draw to ST in first place. | |

Honestly every show has tried to be different. STNG having famlies on board the ship. The Selay was a big no no for Roddenberry because his number one rule was not to cover the actors mouth with a mask. Having men wear skirts........oh god glad they phased that out by season 2. DS9 an African Male in the lead, not being on a starship. Voyager having a female Captain. Enterprise, having a song for the intro, not calling itself Star Trek Enterprise the first few seasons, pushing nudity. In the end Disovery will still be Star Trekish [Edited 6/30/17 15:18pm] | |

But were those Roddenbury rules or just a product of the times? | |

Maybe a little bit of both. | |
