Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

  • Thread starter NewHeavensNewEarth
  • Start date
An internet hype cycle begins, for probably 40 minutes of combined screen time, and no more:lol:

Thomas Jane as Bones is a big get for a glorified cameo, though he's sort of past his peak as an actor though. Still, it makes me wonder how serious the Year One plans are.
 
Meaning what exactly?

He's mostly been in cheap VOD action movies since 2020. He did get two seasons as a co-lead on an Australian TV show between 2022 and 2024.

Regardless, he's not working a lot these days, and what he's working on is a bit lower profile than what he used to get. His film peak was probably from the mid 1990s to mid 2000s. The Expanse came much later, of course, and he did great work on that series, but structurally speaking, Miller was always going to be a limited character given the arc of the books.

If he still has the chops, why should it matter what he's doing lately?
 
Thomas Jane is 56 years old; only a couple of years younger than DeForest Kelly was during the making of TMP.
At this point, given the age of the actors, they should do a post-TMP five year mission.

It doesn't. Except as I noted, he's a big get for one and done (more of a name actor than most of the SNW cast!), yet it's tempered a bit because at his stage in his career, he might just be hungry for whatever he can get.
 
Given he also played Mickey Mantle, he would be out of center field.

Why the eyeroll?

It completes the set.
