Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

Absolutely, COVID precautions are (sensibly) slowing down the process here. I'm comfortable with that.
 
Even more excited after seeing the cast reveal video and Mounts infectous enegery.

Hopefully we'll get single story episodes or multi arcs like on ENT season 4 but hopefully no seasonal arc like DSC/PIC.
Looking forward to a colorful (crew/cast and uniforms) and less "dark/grey for grittiness sake" tv show.
 
Christina Chong is doing a double-Vulcan hand salute in the announcement video. Therefore, I declare that she must be playing a Vulcan.

In fact, here's the casting news again from The Illuminerdi. Illuminerdi recently made news for being called out by James Gunn as a fake website, and I lend credence to that idea, but the casting sheet matches the announced actors so succinctly:

Olusanmoku = M'Benga / "Biodun" in casting sheet
Gooding = black, early 20s = Uhura / "Yeboah" in casting sheet
Chong = East Indian, Asian, or Middle Eastern or any ethnicity, late 20s-early 30s = "La'an"
Bush = Caucasian, late 20s-early 30s = Chapel / "Nurse Miller" in casting sheet
Navia = Latina, late 20s = "Ortegas"

It's interesting if true. The ages seem to line up as well.
