First Look at Captain Lorca (blurry bridge of DSC)
- Thread starter Balok's Decoy
- Start date
Gabriel Garcia(pronounced Garth-ia and probably a name used by his mates) Lorca basically confirmed(I suspect they might reveal Izzar and middle name gradually). After looking at his description, I wonder if they nickname him "madman" for his elaborate but often unorthodox/risky decisions in battle.
Isaacs looks the part. I hope they keep him for the duration of the series cause he's such a fine actor. Maybe he can depart close to the ending of last season, to fulfil his role which is familiar to us from TOS. I bet his mask is for the usual enemy infiltration episode using surgery or advanced prosthetics.
If it's for a wound, relative to those treated using cellular metamorhosis, would be a waste for season one I think. You'd want an actor like him to stick around for your core as long as you can.

We've gone round and round with this one on the board. The repeated consensus from the people I'd consider most worth listening to (the ones who are willing to sacrifice arguing purely for what they *want* in order to reach truth) is that while we'd pretty much all watch an alien captain *and* enjoy it immensely if it was done well, we, the hardcore fandom, are a tiny, tiny portion of a larger viewing audience that the shows need to be successful and profitable. And that larger, more general audience would be :ahem: alienated if the main character isn't human.
Discovery is actually the best shot we've had at a series regular alien captain, because the main character is already a human woman elsewhere in the ranks. And we may get one, despite the two Starfleet captains we've seen so far - it seems like there may be a Klingon captain with a strong regular or at least frequently recurring role in DSC, too.
The main character is a human, regardless if the Captain was/wasn't. Sonequa Martin-Green's Officer Michael Burnham is the main character. And she's been confirmed as human.
Exactly. This was a missed opportunity given the captain isn't the main focus.
Possibilities for Lorca:
- He's really human.
- He's really Arne Darvin.
- He's really the Salt Vampire, biding his time for McCoy.
- He's really Martia, and he'll end up arrested and sent to Rura Penthe in the premiere.
- He's really the Evil Lorca who killed the Good Lorca following their split from a transporter accident.
- He's not really there, the Talosians are projecting him into the minds of the crew.
That's about it really. Unless he's a time-traveling Spanish poet trapped in an alternate reality caused by a temporal incursion that disrupted the time continuum?
What, no founders or Blue Gills? We got to tie it together somehow!
Only that the one thing he isn't, is Garth of Izar.
The nope thing is lame. Nice try though.View attachment 2595
...but someone does get bored with Trek stuff that's lame.
You know what would have been something that I "didn't want?" Lorca being an alien...and he's not. So, Yay CBS,
Look around at you, at the USA these days. No, the world in general. Such overdone statements are the only way to reach the masses. Look at the type of celebraties people adore these days, the kind of idiots that become famous. People will only get the way obvious attempts at learning these lessons, because subtlity is dead. Nuance has gone on a holiday.
I'm very serious. Much more serious than wanting him to be an Andorian, Vulcan or something else.."cause".
I have seen the name been brought up before they announced it and I thought it would make sense if they went this way and it be an interesting background of Garth(descendant of a Spanish poet in a different planet, so obviously coming from a family of people who wanted to explore and keeping his ancestor name, a tradition followedclosely by many countries outside of the US to this date). Since they have selected this particular name instead of a mutlitude of others they could have had, I think it's too much a coinsidence to be just a coinsidence.
Garcia Lorca was never married and was widely believed to be gay and in a relationship with an art critic, and previouly having an unrequited love for Salvador Dali. He had no children and, therefore, no descendants.
I suspect this is just a name - maybe selected because of Garcia Lorca, but just a name nonetheless.

It's a coincidence.

Memory Alpha refers to that as a "Dress Jacket." It appears to have a v-neck, not a zipper.
