Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

How ridiculous. Further evidence that the Discovery crew is terrified with showing "White" actresses in so much that they are going to cover them up with makeup.
 
Yup. That Tilly character...couldn't tell her skin color at all under all that...make up.:wtf::shrug:

And Number One. Completely unrecognizable as the same character from The Menagerie! :vulcan:
She's overweight so it's a completely different demographic in today's society. It's acceptable. Number One tops out the quota of two

I'm not going to take any formal action at the moment, but I don't see this sort of rhetoric leading anywhere good, FYI.
 
The statement about DSC Season 1 being reverse-engineered from the Enterprise's appearance came directly from Alex Kurtzman:

At the time the book was being written that wasn't the case according to David Mack.

They decided to add the Enterprise to the show after Fuller left the show.

You can see also this with John Eaves comments in his art book (or maybe it was the eaglemoss book), he wasn't asked to design the DSC Connie until after Fuller left the show.
 
Gotchya. Thank you. I never saw The Cage pilot, but I did see Menagerie with Number One and the others. I don't recall "Colt"
The yeoman who beamed down with Number One.

Tilly, Detmer , Cornwell, Amanda, Reno, Ina, Nillson and Number One aren't "White"?
 
Goes to show that I don't know any of the characters. I doubt you do either. I wouldn't call 99% of the characters you mentioned "main cast" not in the slightest
