News Season 2 begins production 16th April, has 15 episodes, 1st half will premiere THIS YEAR

Maybe we see the Spocko character that was shown on SNL.

^ If you read Berg and Harberts' actual quotes - which I cited directly - they clearly ARE ruling out Spock showing up, in spite of what that tiny single-sentence piece of the article says.

Whatever, though.

If you want to keep believing that Spock is going to be showing up on this show, be my guest; just don't come back around whining when it doesn't happen.
 
Yes, it does.

No, it doesn't.

The producers are careful to say that simply encountering the Enterprise doesn't mean that viewers will meet the ship's passengers. "We certainly aren't confirming that we're even going to introduce Spock and we certainly are not casting that role, either,"

"The producers are careful to say", "We certainly aren't confirming that we're even going to introduce Spock", and "[we certainly aren't confirming] that we certainly are not casting that role".

Translation: we confirm nor deny nothing. It's a non-answer. They aren't saying "#nospockever". They're saying "I'm not answering your question".

Like I said, you keep on believing that Discovery will be announcing a Spock casting... and while you're at it, go ahead and send a letter to Santa Claus.

Of course they won't announce the casting. They didn't announce the Enterprise appearing in the finale, either.
 
It's entirely possible they could get Mr. Quinto to play Spock for ST: D - hell he did VO for the Star Trek Online MMO tutorial, so you never know. he might be affordable for them in this instance.

IE - They're not recasting Spock again. ;)

"We certainly aren't confirming that we're even going to introduce Spock and we certainly are not casting that role, either," Harberts says.
"[W]e realize how incredible Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto's performances were and what [Star Trek movie director] J.J. Abrams and the original series were able to pull off with that character," Harberts says. "Finding another actor that could even come close to what Leonard Nimoy did with the original portrayal, we'd never want to go down that road."

Benedict Cumberbatch is definitely not playing Khan.
 
In a surprise casting move, the role of DiscoSpock will be played by... Wil Wheaton.

They won't be.

And, no, that doesn't mean they'll be shelling out money for Quinto; it means we won't see Spock AT ALL.

Just stop; you're embarrassing yourself.

You chose an extremely weird and somewhat silly hill to die on... but well, here we are.

Just make sure we all witness your full-on meltdown as soon as Spocks casting is announced.:D

IIRC, someone with inside knowledge on this forum claimed that a Pike-focused spinoff will begin airing between DIS Season 2 and 3. This would almost certainly require there to be someone cast in the role of Spock - if not already, then by that time.

Of course, I've never understood how this Pike show will be made distinctive enough from Discovery - especially considering Discovery seems to be moving towards the "classic Trek" format itself.

I fear you're trying to apply artistic reasoning to a business decision. They've got eight more months of the year to convince fans to pay for.

Shame this came too late for poor George Takei. The adventures of Captain Sulu would finally be a go. (And may yet, without him.)
