Discovery Spin-Off Series in the Works?

It was literally the top hit on "sweet smile"

 

I don't know who that is

Yeah I saw English words but they're not registering in my cerebellum.

 

Oh good. The conversation has now consolidated the reboot AND prime “debates”. Thank God! I was worried these vital issues would fade from view. Glad it’s all under control.

 

But is Starfleet military? And what do they use for money?

 

Now you know how a lot of TOS fans felt from 1987 - 2001.

 

I'm fine with a Section 31 show with Mirror Georgiou as the lead. Michelle Yeoh does seem to enjoy the character. Personally I liked her better as Prime Georgiou, but still, a Section 31 show led by MG could be fun. I would rather it be a Section 31 show with MG as the lead than a show about MG with Section 31 more in the background. I think a Section 31 show just opens the door to include more agents than focusing just on MG.

 

I don't like Mirror Georgiou as a protagonist. In fact, I don't like Mirror Georgiou at all. And I adore Michelle Yeoh!

But on the other hand, I can totally see that Michelle Yeoh might be much more interested in playing MU Georgiou than the prime version. Because the prime version is pretty close to the roles Georgious usually plays. Don't underestimate the pure motivation of fun for actors, chewing the scenery as over-the-top villains!

In fact, if I were an actor, I'd much rather like to play the Mirror Universe Emperor as well. But it's still a bad choice for the show, and as a viewer I'd much rather see either "regular" Georgiou, or Michelle Yeoh in a completely new role, than ever having to see MU Georgiou again.

 

Was thinking the same thing. Many actors love playing the "bad guy" for all those reasons. Jason Isaacs in particular has gone on the record saying how much he enjoyed playing Lorca and Malfoy before him. The good ones can pull it off without being typecast and roll right back into "good guy" roles without permanently damaging their careers.

 

Exactly. Actors have always been able to play heroes or villains, depending on the parts. Look at Basil Rathbone, who played dastardly villains opposite the likes of Robin Hood, Zorro, and Captain Blood, while also being the definitive Sherlock Holmes for entire generation.

Or, more recently, look at Anthony Hopkins or Cate Blanchett or even Tom Cruise.

 

It also means nothing that they say it.

 

You're talking, I'm listening.

 

Nah, that's Will Ferrell....why are you looking at me like that? Tell Leslie Klinger to put the axe down

 

I prefer Jeremy Brett to be honest.
