Lol, they sure didn't market it as either sequel to ENT nor prequel to TOS. It was supposed to be a brand new series set around TOS timeframe, that is all.
Ethan Peck cast as DSC's Spock
- Thread starter Lawrence B
- Start date
Really? Well she is a shapeshifter so that would help.
I thought she is in Librarians? Is that show finished?
Sadly, THE LIBRARIANS has been cancelled after four seasons . . . although there's still one more novel coming out.
Why would that have to market it? It's obviously what it is.
Being a brand new series set around TOS timeframe doesn't negate the fact is a prequel.
And Spock a few times as well.'Cause Kirk never lost his shirt on the original series . . .
Spock only lost his shirt once--in "Patterns of Force."
But, seriously, what STAR TREK show or movie hasn't cast physically attractive actors to up the show's sex appeal? DISCO isn't "pandering" any more than any other Trek show has.
Which is not to say that Shatner or Martina Sirtis or Jeri Ryan or Chris Pine or whomever didn't have other things going for them as well. I'm sure Peck wasn't cast just because he's physically fit.
Just as importantly, it's an American TV series. Just look at the cast of, say, GREY'S ANATOMY. Pretty sure most surgeons don't look like that.

It meets the dictionary definition of a prequel, so it is a prequel.
10 Years before Kirk and Spock. Yup, definitely didn't feel like a prequel promo to me... /s
They did? Linky? If they did, well then I should have known better..
Have people already starting calling him Speck?
Sigh...
As long as he sounds like Shatner, I don't care HOW they get him into it....
Nice, I am going to use that.
Michael Boreham isn't exciting?
He looks an awful lot like Victor Mature to me in that pic.Peck looks like an older version of the kid from Gotham:
Cool.
