Spoilers Jason Issacs doing Trek "again"?

just listening to the new Empire podcast with Issacs in very chatty mode and at one point around @17:15 he states 'having done star trek again recently..'

I don't think Issacs has been confirmed for any more Trek has he? sounds like hes just given away hes back in Discovery!

edit: also talks abit of Prime Lorca @1:11::00 mark

 

If true, I'm looking forward to seeing how they pull it off. Was a copy of him hiding in the Mycellial Network? Is it sort like the Nexus where time has no meaning?

Cue 1940s announcer voice: "Find out all of this and more at this theater next week!"

 

I would LOVE to see Lorca return. Prime Lorca, Mirror Lorca, don't care. Lorca was my absolute favorite on Discovery.

 

Maybe a Short Trek that explains what happened to Prime Lorca. I'd love that!

 

Perhaps like the Defiant when it crossed into the mirror universe and also a hundred years into the past, the real Lorca in trying to return to his own universe accidentally travelled into the future?

 

Does he just say he played Lorca recently (in which case, yeah, I'd classify 2017 as "recent" too) or did he actually say he played Lorca again?

 

He said "having done Star Trek again, recently, I watched some the Original Series again"

 

I was going to suggest he could have been referring to Strange New World, though that hasn't started filming yet. Though I guess it's possible if the quote refers to watching TOS, he might have decided to watch The Cage or The Menagerie as preparation for SNW.

As it is, I've had a few ideas over the past year regarding how Prime Lorca could end up in the 32nd century. They're mostly convoluted and kind of fanwanky, but then what on this show isn't?

 

If teh Prime Lorca shows up, it could easily be in the 23rd century.

 

So basically he's just saying that he rewatched TOS after he acted in DSC. And an extra "again" slips into the phrase, and is unlikely to mean anything much.

I'm gonna guess Burnham has a vision of him in the Trill caves.

 

There's also (new) work he could have done for the online game, right?

 

Oh yeah, people are forgetting he did Star Trek Online voicework last year.

 

Even if he's in Discovery it could be in a different part. Star Trek has a long history of reusing actors.

 

Maybe pike rescues prime lorca in a short trek and he becomes a recurring character on strange new worlds

 

There are so many threads they could follow, from a flashback to the fate of Prime Lorca, to a flashback to the story of Mirror Lorca's rebellion against Georgiou (sorry, Her most Imperial Majesty, Mother of the Fatherland, Overlord of Vulcan, Dominus of Qo'noS, Regina Andor, Philippa Georgiou Augustus Iaponius Centarius), Mirror Lorca's Prime Universe backstory, Mirror Lorca surviving in the Mycelial Network and re-emerging, Prime Lorca dealing with the Mirror Universe and somehow surviving, pre-Mirror Universe Lorca crossing paths with Pike, and so on.

 

Lorca...thrown forward in time 1000 years...cue Buck Rogers theme.
