News Next live-action Short Trek has a working title and new director

Wait, Mark Pellington is a man's name. Are you sure that's right?

I’m not being sexist. Discovery casting white males as either idiots (Conolly) or evil (Lorca, Leland) is what’s sexist.

That and saying they prefer female directors. What a ridiculous age we live in where saying that is acceptable.

Or do you mean a shit attempt at a sexist joke like Georgiou’s “tiny male brains” quote from earlier in the season? Hilarious to think of the double standards uproar if that had been a man calling women’s brains tiny.

How many threads do you need to start or derail with this particular topic? We get it. Move on.

Infraction for trolling. Comments to PM.

Everyone else, just don't engage with him on this issue and notify us so we can deal with it. He clearly has an axe to grind and is going to try and derail as many threads as possible with it.

Good on Robert Duncan McNeill for supporting the push for diversity, but it's not like they haven't been hiring white male directors. Looking at all the male directors so far, out of the twelve, ten to eleven of them are white men (the only one I couldn't confirm was David Barrett). So the ratio of white male directors to everyone else among Discovery's directors is 2 to 1.

I think Kpnuts is going to have to try harder on his whole "Diversity is bad" opinions.

I'm a bit surprised they haven't got Roxanne Dawson to direct an episode yet. I think she would do a marvellous job
