DSC news in October?

Although I'm no fan of the montage endings, they're so common these days I've learned it better to just roll with it. I am irked when they opt to go with a no-name indie band's cover of a well known song though. In those cases, they should just go ahead and pay the added royalties to the original artist, or at least the artist who performed the popular version of the song.

There are of course exceptions like when BSG did their own cover of All Along the Watchtower.
 
I don't know if this is a rumor but I've heard that CBS bosses have suggested back then in 2001 (or so) that there should be some popular music act/group performing every week.

I don't know what's popular these days :D Cameos for Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga.

Yeah, I vaguely recall UPN wanting a musical number in each Enterprise episode featuring different bands, which Berman and Braga fought vehemently against.
 
Just have a stage in ten forward, bring in flavours of the week and pretend they're holographic recordings from the early 21st century which is retro cool again.

I would like to hear some music that is contemporary to the era in which the show is set. It seems to me that human culture has become stagnant because most of the music we hear in trek is "archaic musical forms" (Data in Nemisis) or "classical music" (Bones in STB) mostly from the twentieth century. We never even got to hear "The Laughing Vulcan and His Dog" because Picard wanted to sing "Frère Jacques" instead!

Well that was an experience.
That's a rather racist song. :p Is that what they teach the children on the Enterprise? What else do they do? Andorian-Blue-Facing?
It's just occurred to me that Klingon cosplay would probably be racist in-universe.

And I suddenly want to see an Andorian in "pinkface"

Hearing rumors from reliable sources that some casting/characters should be announced soon. Given the time of year, Fuller's love of Halloween, and the registry of the ship being 10/31 - Halloween - I'd put good money on an announcement there. Also would be last chance to keep the "Octoboer" promise made before the delay. I imagine when the promise was made the thought was early October.

Hoping so! Could use something good/fun to obsess over instead of the world collective nightmare of the US election.

The dog about casting:

Happy to rest up this weekend. It's not every Friday you head back to the doghouse with a major supporting character *finally* figured out!

There are no shields that can cushion blow of having to tell an actor she lost out on a #StarTrekDiscovery role. They are still good humans.

Stella Star Trek Dog ‏@StarTrekDog 19. Oct.
Sigh. It's frustrating to explain to the new staffers that Jason Statham can NOT be the new Transporter chief on #StarTrekDiscovery.

Stella Star Trek Dog ‏@StarTrekDog 25. Oct.
I simply can't wait for you to meet my new friends, the #StarTrekDiscovery characters.


And I hope this means something. I really would like a Horta in DIS! :)

It helps to know that I am the approximate size of an adult female Horta but, really, what am I supposed to do with that information?
