It doesn't thus far seem like Discovery is going to even try introducing a new 'alien'. That's one of the disappointments of playing it safe with old news.
David Mack is GUSHING about it...this should settle it
- Thread starter Ensign Ogahd Ahmganadai
- Start date
Erm one of the crew members is a new Alien.
That there was something equally idiotic on Voyager (of course there was, that's like the defining feature of VOY!) in no way changes my initial assessment.
Too bad Johnny Cochran isn't around to play Gorgan. That would be hysterically funny.
Maybe they could get Courtney B. Vance.
Or Phil Morris
One of those creepy kids was Caesar Belli, son of Melvin Belli. Maybe he could reprise his father's role:

I'm hoping that particular instance of working with this father put him off stage acting forever. And that he didn't follow daddy's flair for courtroom theatrics either.
Besides the presence of Saru (which Tuskin has already mentioned), there is still plenty of room in the show for new aliens.
We really haven't seen too much more than the Pilot and maybe another episode or two. There are 15 episodes, so maybe there will be new aliens in at least some of the other 12 or 13 episodes we haven't seen glimpses of yet.

I'm not determined to hate it. I'd love to, well, love it. But literally everything I've seen and heard, with the exception of the federation Starships exterior designs, is atrocious. When everything is terrible in every single piece of info released, of course I hate it. I have seen enough that I hate to form my opinion, I don't need to actually watch the show to form an opinion (although I will because I have to see the absolute worse pile of crap produced in one of my favorite franchises with my own eyes.
You don't have to agree with me, but its BS to say I was "determined" to hate it or that I've judged it without a huge amount of evidence.
You literally just called it the worst pile of crap star trek has ever produced without seeing an episode.....I hate to hear what people who don't like star trek have to say about it.
If it is as good as Into Darkness, I'll be a happy camper.
Exactly. I have endured Star Trek Into Darknight three times. Nothing phases me anymore. I say bring on Discovery!
If Discovery is on par with Beyond, I'm through. Done. Finished. It's the only Trek film I didn't bother to see at the cinema, and I'm glad I didn't waste the money.
And yes, I regret buying tickets for Insurrection and Nemesis.
Beyond was entertaining, exciting, uplifting and smelt of TOS Trek in a long missed way, I'd love a TV show that was half as good.
Insurrection and Nemesis were the creaks and groans of a franchise collapsing up its own rectum, so the less of that sort of Trek is in this new show, the better.
I gotta say, this is how I feel.
