Yes, I can already envision the usefulness of this.

"Lt. Fungus! What is this? Oh no wait, why am I asking you when I have a perfectly good computer that I can ask.

Siri! Identify fungus!"

If anything, we should be massively concerned about the fact that Google apparently doesnt exist in the future.

What happens to Google?!?! What happens?!?!?

It feels weird that they're even announcing the "new gay character". It seems much more Star Trek to just have the gay character and not make it a thing.

Is the character gay, or the actor? Or both?

Even so, having a gay character trapped on a starship which is gone for long periods of time seems cruel and an inter-galactic felony waiting to happen.

I mean, he doesnt have the same breadth of options as everyone else. Thats gotta suck.

Granted, if no one ever brought Kirk up on charges then its conceivable that they can get away with a fair bit.

Space is a dangerous place.

Come on, we both know that Starfleet ships are just bisexual orgies with impulse drives.

suddenly all those horrible Captain Highliner one-liners from childhood have a new, more cosmic meaning. "Have ye ever been to space, Billy?"

Star Trek: Discovery is starting to fill its decks.

CBS Access is now confirming Michelle Yeoh will join the show, which has also cast two more actors to star in the eagerly anticipated series. One of the new characters will be the decades-old franchise’s first to be originally conceived and announced as gay.

First up: Actor Doug Jones (Hellboy, Falling Skies) will play Lt. Saru, a Starfleet Science Officer and a new alien species to the Star Trek universe.

Second, Anthony Rapp (Rent, Road Trip) will star as Lt. Stamets, an “astromycologist,” fungus expert, and Starfleet Science Officer aboard the Starship Discovery. Lt. Stamets is the new gay character
Wow they've officially casted a gay character based on Egon:

I can just see this

Lt Helmsman - "Captain three Romulans have de-cloaked off the port bow and their charging weapons"

Captain Blah Blah - "Battle Stations arm photon torpedo's and power phasers evasive maneuvers pattern Pic . . . oh wait Delta 3"

The camera flashes down to a lab where LT Fungus is crying

Lt Fungus - "Don't worry samples, it will be ok . . . . " starts singing a nursery rhyme to his petri dishes"

Not exactly related to the new series but Hollywood Reporter has a long article in interview form with cast and crew about First Contact. Interesting read.

Loved the bit about how Alice Krige got the Borg Queen part. Thanks for sharing this!

They announced the lead. It's Sonequa Martin-Green from Walking Dead.

She's not the captain but still the lead.

Revealing an actor who has already been announced is a spoiler? Some people are hyper sensitive.

I'm being heavily facetious. But at the end of the day as someone who watches The Walking Dead you have to admit that it is a bit of a spoiler.

I'm not blaming him, I'm actually lampooning most hyper-sensitive spoiler people. And yet...

I've never been overly impressed with her on The Walking Dead, but she's also never been given a whole lot to do either.

At least this show is getting some casting news now, looking forward to seeing how things come together.
