Discovery has been delayed until May 2017

Fuller is a notorious perfectionist. If he didn't have an ideal in the roles - or that ideal was unavailable - I can't imagine it'd be a quick process.

I've found trying to make something perfect can almost be as bad as rushing something out the door too quickly.
 
I see those online petitions to stop Discovery from being made are doing their job. Here's to democracy and the power of the online petition!!!

I didn't mean the actual actors cast, I meant the casting list that's sent out to agencies etc. for the casting call. We usually see them online well before anyone is cast in the show. They aren't finalized character descriptions but are close - ish to what you see on tv.
 
I guess CBS wants more money from those, who have already subcribed. All very professional, I'm full of confidence.

And they have fake character names.

Aha! I havent slept for two days, apologies :)

I'm not sure if it'd be public. I've seen (and answered) cast lists, but there are a lot that stay hidden or secretive through various means. I figured Discovery - with all the secret keeping so far - wouldn't let that out.

I'm sure they are trying to keep it secret, doesn't mean it won't leak anyway, as many do despite attempts at secrecy:)
 
They apparently swapped the start dates for DIS with the Good Wife spinoff. If the good wife fails to draw in the audience they are hoping, perhaps they will adjust their approach. Or at the very least see any less than impressive results for subscribers through that lens.
 
What intrigues me about this is Fuller said they had the story already broken out. So while special f/x are an obvious culprit for the delay, is it possible a cast member suggested a story or character element that compelled them to tweak those stories?
 
As far as I'm concerned this is a good thing. I was shocked to hear a show set to debut in January had only recently begun filming.
