Ethan Peck cast as DSC's Spock

It’s set before TOS, but it is its own story. Like how that recent King Kong movie is set in the same universe as the Godzilla reboot but isn’t a prequel to that.
 
"All this has happened and will happen again." - and that's from nuBSG - so yes, sorry, BSG1978 occurred as well, but nuBSG was still a prequel to it. :)

That's what some fans want to believe, but it doesn't fit the actual narrative. The point of the series finale was that the fusion of human and Cylon was (probably) the thing that broke the endless cycle of repetition. If there were to be a new conflict between human and AI, it would be in our near future. The remake wasn't a prequel to the original series -- it was a prequel to us.

I don't think that's what they meant. Especially since the Kobolians who found Earth were supposed to be the people who built the pyramids and other ancient civilizations, the influences of which still survived into the Colonial society in the original series. nuBSG had the ancient Colonials arrive far before any civilization and were our ancestors.

The Cylons also happened to be created by lizards aliens and not humanity.

lol.
 
tbf, last season it was confirmed that Voq and Tyler were played by two different actors

What?? Where did you get that from?? Shazad Latif played both characters. Javid Iqbal who was credited as playing Voq was a pseudonym used by Latif to hide the fact that tyler was indeed Voq

And you answered your own question two sentences later:

Using a pseudonym = making it seem they're played by two different actors. Hythlodeus's point was that we were led to believe something that turned out to be untrue. Although I hardly think crazy fan theories shipping Spock and Burnham are remotely comparable to that.

Why do you have to be so damn condescending? @Hythlodeus said that it was confirmed that Voq and tyler were played by two different actors, so naturally i assumed he was was stating it as fact. I'm sure Hythlodeus is capable of clearing things up for me without you.
 
Technically, it's a model for a Spock costume, so not supposed to be exactly Spock.

And Peck looks far better than that.

Nah. That dude in the Halloween photo has the same generic male facial structure as Peck.

Peck will get better hair and makeup, but he should probably keep that beard on.

I could. but Christopher already summed it up nicely:

TPTB gave out false information once and while I personally don't believe in Spock/Burnham romance theories, just because we have confirmation that there was no romance, doesn't necessarily mean that confirmation turns out true
